For the twenty three years I’ve been on this earth I’ve dated for ten. That’s a decade of first kisses, running to pick up my landline before my mom had the chance and falling out of love with boys who I once would have split a pizza with. I started dating when I was thirteen […]
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 […]
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 […]
Two thousand fifteen was the year I found my place in the blogging world. When I first started it was pretty simple, write articles for college women about the college experience. With thousands of automatic readers and topics chosen for me, it was easy to stay motivated and come up with fresh new ideas. Then […]
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 […]

The only thing harder than walking into work on Monday morning is dragging your tired ass to the bus stop. Or train terminal or subway station, whatever your personal choice of hell is. While it’s nice not having to feel personally victimized by every idiot on the road, you are then forced to socialize with […]
Creating the perfect resume is freaking hard, especially when you are currently unemployed and willing to take the first job offer you get. With all the stress of knowing that there are dozens of people applying for the same job as you, sometimes small avoidable mistakes fall through the cracks. Listen, I get it. I […]

Here’s the thing, I’m a very by the book kind of girl. I use crosswalks, read direction manuals and always make sure to follow the guidelines on every assignment. The same applies to my dating history, with me getting to know each guy slowly, not texting him too quickly and generally playing the game we […]
You know that meme with the old lady in the first scenes of The Titanic, where she’s looking out into the distance and says “it’s been 84 years”? That’s going to be me on graduation day. My graduate school experience so far has been more stressful than I ever imagined. Two years ago I placed […]

Family is not something I place a lot of emphasis on in my life. While I have a mother I’m very close to and a sister who I modeled my personality after, I’ve always been a bit off to the side in regards to my extended family. With too many cousins to remember and the […]
