This is your warning: I am a crazy cat/dog/hamster/whatever fluffy animal is in front of me lady. If it has fur, I have love for it. Which is why when I had the opportunity to adopt a cat almost three years ago, I jumped at the opportunity. I seriously put more thought and effort into […]
I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, breakups are hard. Ever since becoming a therapist I’ve learned all the different ways people deal with the end of a relationship, apparently everyone doesn’t lay on the kitchen floor and eat popcorn from sunrise to sunset. Over the years I’ve written a lot […]
New Year’s Eve is one of those holidays that you either love or hate, typically depending on how old you are and your lifestyle. In my life, New Year’s Eve has never been that grand of an occasion, which is why I put very little emphasis on creating the perfect night or making sure my […]
Full of so many hopes and dreams, until the DC housing situation crushed them… Going to college wasn’t something I thought about at all throughout my childhood and teenage years. As a kid I was always pretty smart, and as I grew into a teenager I was able to keep an interest in most school […]
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 […]
It’s absolutely crazy to me that I was a freshmen in college six years ago, because honestly, I remember packing up the truck and driving to my university like it was yesterday. If you’re anything like me, you like to know what’s going to happen in any given situation. Meaning you want to know how […]
Birthday posts generally call for what you learned that year, and I’m not sure if you noticed, but I didn’t write one for year 23. The reason is simple, I was either a) miserable or b) too busy pulling myself out of that misery to sit down and write a post. I think one day […]
Being in your twenties sometimes feels a lot like the first time you’re left home alone. You’re excited for all this new found independence but at the same time, you have no idea what the hell to do with it all. Sure you can survive by cooking yourself some noodles and sitting yourself in front […]
Today’s the day, Tax Day. If you’re anything like me you’re currently freaking out because you can’t find your W2 or have completely forgotten what password you chose for your Turbotax account. Breathe girl. Me last year waited until the very last day to file, which led to a lot of cursing and frantic calls […]
Professional two tier cake for a 5 yr old’s party? But of course!! Today’s post was schedule to be about studying abroad (or traveling in general) and ways to figure out when the best time to pack up your bags and go was. Instead I’ve spent my entire day in a funk because I woke […]
When you stop to think about it, college roommates are weird, or at least the situation is. Transitioning from living with family to sharing a very very small space with a complete stranger has been normalized, as if we would expect this sort of thing to be normal for people of all ages. Throughout my […]
So the new year has come and gone, plus it’s Monday (meh), and you find yourself with no resolution to talk about with your coworkers, friends, and in all your Instagram posts for the next week. Sure you’d like 2017 to be a major upgrade from last year (don’t we all?), but figuring out what […]
What I’m about to say is going to sound completely ridiculous but it’s the truth, I swear. I bought one of those Happy Planners over Thanksgiving weekend and I have never been so motivated. It’s basically already the new year in my apartment, or at least that’s the level of motivation I’m feeling. Something about […]
I didn’t want to write this post. Actually, scratch that, I didn’t want to publish this post. Hitting publish meant a bunch of people would know of my intentions for the next sixty days and totally judge me next time I posted a photo of a delicious pizza on Instagram. Okay I’m gonna be 100% […]
