This is A Problem

What are you most insecure about? I bet you could rattle of multiple things without thinking twice. Now what are you most confident about? What do you just love about yourself?  It’s normal to hear a girl of any age (even young kids now) make a negative comment on her thighs, butt, face, stomach… the list is infinite. These comments are brushed off, because that’s what girls do. We complain...

My Weekend Through Instagram

One of my favorite weekends is sliding through the finish line tonight. The weather was gorgeous, and we spent most of it outside which was WONDERFUL. I thought I would share through Instagram pictures with you. Saturday I treated Katelin and I to a local coffeehouse for, what else, COFFEE and BROWNIES...

A Happy Moment

I work today which means Katelin and I have been on campus since 9am. Thankfully it's GORGEOUS out, so we weren't forced to lounge in the dorm or car but enjoyed the day outside! I share with you my happy moment of the day:  picture via my instagram After lunch Katelin (pictured here...

The Flaming Homo

This semester I’ve come across some challenges with a professor. I’m trying not to let his rudeness deter me from learning in his class (because I learn a lot) but am instead trying be grateful for the knowledge and insights I have gained from him. I have enjoyed taking two courses with him and felt comfortable talking about my sexual-orientation and religion with him in class. In a time where...

What I'm Working On: Stress

I have not only caught END-OF-SEMESTER SYNDROME but END-OF-SCHOOL-YEAR SYNDROME. Those of you not yet in college will one day know what I am talking about, and those of you in or out of college know exactly what I’m talking about. I don’t want to wake up, I’m over my classes, I don’t want to do homework let alone study for finals, I don’t want to get dressed—I’m just done. This only adds to...

A Little Pinch

Yesterday I exited the music shop with my guitar and a new lesson book excited to learn something fun and new. In the car I went to zip up my polka-dot wallet, but a quarter had wedged itself perfectly enough for the zipper to catch and do that back-wards unzip thing (there has to be a definition that is lacking in my brain) which basically means it’s broken. At first I was angry. Like, really...

Cause No One Needs to Hear It

I want to talk about something here that my friend texted me. Me and this girl—I’ll call her Kristen—went to school together from K-10th grade and became attached at the hip in 7th grade. Sometimes I think we know each other better than we know ourselves, including crap we’ve been through. Kristen...

I'm an Advice Giver

“[Deliverance] came to you from your own seeking, on your own path, through thinking, through meditation, through knowledge, through illumination… no one is granted deliverance through a teaching!” Herman Hesse, Siddhartha I am an advice giver. I want to fix everyone’s problems, and when I can’t, I want to give them the tools to do it themselves. Often these tools are smiled at and shoved...

Birthday Pinata Cake: Bam!

I am OFFICIALLY nineteen on this very rainy, cold April day! My one of many Pinterest perusals led to a discovery of the Pinata Cake, so Katelin agreed to make it, pleasantly surprising me with the super cute (and delicious) results. I would just like it known that I handled the icing. Gotta get credit...

Here Goes Nothing

            “Oh, God. I made another blog.” That was my first thought upon titling this page and quickly exiting the tab. I've wanted to start a blog for a while—years—and even created a couple that never saw entries. This page was easily becoming like the others hosting a title, basic layout, and… an empty slot where entries should be. Excuses were...
