PS I’m Writing About This is a column that will highlight some of the colorful conversations I have with friends, strangers and inanimate objects in my daily life… Me: God I’m so broke, I should really start stripping on the weekends. Benjamin: Nobody would pay to see you strip. Me: I resent that, if it […]
Senior year of college was a whirlwind of events. Between interning in Washington DC and planning for graduation, the thought of attending more years of school was the furthest thing on my mind. Then it happened suddenly, grad school was all anyone was talking about. Whether it was a genuine interest to advance their education […]
Breakups are terrible, at every age. No one can truly warn you how hard it is to go from loving someone one day to having to imagine life without them the next. Forget having to let go of marriage and babies and all that crap, because if we’re honest, that’s not what makes you curl […]
I’ve said it one and I’ll say it a hundred times more, breaks up are fucking hard. Worse than exams, more painful than doing your taxes, way more terrible than blowing an interview for a job you totally wanted. Doesn’t matter how long you were together and if the two of you were never meant […]
Social media is this funny thing that can make you feel better about yourself one second, then two scrolls later like a complete loser. Because of this, for the past year I’ve been much more intentional about the people and accounts I follow on Instagram, ditching the bitchy meme accounts for individuals who keep me […]
This week at work I had a realization that made me wonder why I hadn’t thought of this before. Quick briefer, I’m a therapist, sorta. Technically I am, but I’m unlicensed, which means I’m in the process of earning my hours to be able to qualify to sit for the licensing exam. I’ve completed 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 […]
I’m writing this inside my office of my new job. The one I’ve spent years preparing for, actually, the one I quit my well paying job for to come here instead and work for free. So maybe I shouldn’t call it a job, because at the end of the day, I’m not getting paid. But […]
Today I realized something I wish I had sooner, the movies are a fucking fun place to be on a Thursday afternoon. Seriously ya’ll, catching a movie in the middle of the workday gives you the same feeling as skipping math class did in the 12th grade. Trust me on this. With my boyfriend being […]
My university had an unusually high rate of students who commuted, which meant that on any day there were crowds of students hanging around waiting for their next class to begin. For anyone that knows the struggle of having to wait hours between your classes, you know sitting and watching Netflix can grow old after […]
Shopping for men can be hard, scratch that, impossible. Whether they’re super picky or chronically indifferent, choosing the right gift can be difficult whether you just started dating or you’ve been together for years. Luckily, my boyfriend isn’t shy about pointing out any little thing he would like to receive wrapped in shiny paper, so […]
Just as I was about to start writing this post I realized the last time I took an assessment on extroversion and introversion was the 9th grade. I distinctly remember there being a poster on the wall that had the words extrovert and introvert written in blue and purple marker, and underneath were positive traits […]
It’s Sunday and I never post on a Sunday, but I loved this link up so much I decided to break my unofficial rule. I saw this post circulating all around my Twitter and Bloglovin feed, but being too busy with interviews to stress about led me to not have time to catch up with […]
I’d like to say to myself that 2016 started off with a bang, but I can’t. My first day of the new year was spent crying, questioning the decisions that have led me to where I am today, and calling just about everyone in my phonebook for strength. Facebook time hop reminded me that two […]
