The only thing harder than trying to find the perfect Christmas gift for you boyfriend is trying to find the perfect gift for your boyfriend’s parents. Every girl wants their boyfriend’s parent to like her, whether they are a super close family or only see each other during the holidays. With all the stress of […]
Six years ago I was loading moving boxes into our family car, completely unaware that I had packed way too much stuff for a room I was going to share with two other girls. Yes ya’ll, I was placed in a triple dorm room. Three girls in one room, and two of them shared the […]
Keeping up with the challenge has been difficult the past ten days, partially because I’ve been so busy getting everything in my new home but mainly because I’ve found it hard to stay positive overall. This move has taken so much out of me physically and mentally, but something as small as this challenge keeps […]
My living situation is a bit on the complicated side. While I do technically have my own apartment, I rarely have it all to myself. With a boyfriend that stays over every night and gets home from work before me, I don’t always have the alone time I thought I would when I signed the […]
Raise your hand if your last date night was two people sitting on the couch, one watching TV, and the other scrolling on their phone pretending to be interested about what you’re watching. *Raised hand so high it touches the ceiling.* I wouldn’t label myself an introvert, I prefer the term selectively social. Right around […]
Being that I’m in my mid twenties, many of my recent end of year feelings are that of amazement to how much has changed in my life. Two years ago I was amazed college was finally over and I had moved across the country, last year I was questioning a lot of my decisions and […]
The night before my 23rd birthday I gave my final presentation as a first year graduate student. That night my boyfriend and I celebrated the last moments of me being 22, finishing my first year of school and the fact that I earned $5 in extrabucks at CVS. As a senior in college, it felt […]
Going home for the holidays is always strange, whether you just finished your first semester of college or you’ve been out of the house for years. Spending weeks in your childhood bedroom while your mom keeps an eye on you is hard to get used to, especially when you’ve grown accustomed to coming home when […]
One of the biggest transitions in college is having to share your space with another person, who isn’t family, and who most likely you’ve never met. In my case, I left home to start my new life in a dorm in a small room with two girls named Jessica, both of whom I luckily fell […]
Moving to Washington DC was one of the biggest and most unplanned decisions I’ve ever made. I’d like to say that in typical me fashion I had plans to move here after graduation, with a job lined up and ideas of what neighborhood I would rent an apartment in. But I cant. Somehow I found […]
Karma is this thing that I always really wanted to believe in but always sounded too good to be true. Like a conditioner that promises to erase seven years’ worth of damage. Like really dude, you’ll fix my split ends and make my hair grow faster? Please take all my money! Anyways, karma has become […]
Typically I write these posts for myself because no matter how much I like to grow my audience, I do sometimes enjoy writing posts that are purely for my own memory keeping. As I debated whether or not I should just save this post as a draft, I decided that a post of this kind might […]
Birthdays have always been a day I look forward to, just like everyone else on this planet. Unlike everyone else though, I like to go above and beyond to make sure my day is memorable. Just last year I went on a solo trip to Santa Monica, and the year before that I spent the […]
What’s the one thing everyone lies about on their resume?
