I have a lot of thoughts today so this is going to be a bit more of a brain dump than usual. I’m torn between worrying about being #foreveralone, the impending climate change crisis, the impending health crisis, what the hell is happening with Russia, the general state of social affairs in the United States, and what the frack should I be doing with my life since I absolutely can’t see myself sitting in the Read more…
Ok, Rose and I agreed that we would not discuss politics in this blog, but I might kind of make this post slightly political because I just have SO MANY FEELINGS. However, I would also argue that this post is NOT political because all humans, regardless of political ideology, should care about protecting the lives of all children. Amirite? I AM RIGHT. I just listened to six students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School speak Read more…
I wanted to do a post about communicating with someone you’re dating, but as a #foreveralone, cat lady, I didn’t exactly feel qualified. So instead, here are some tips for communicating with a different temperamental creature in your life! Some of these might seem like tips you could use with humans, but proceed with caution. Eye Contact This is very important. Long, deep, soul-searching stares are a must if you wish to connect with each Read more…
Once upon a time, A woman went to France. She wandered through some markets. Through Notre Dame she pranced. One very fateful evening She came upon Musée de’Orsay. Although she loved the artwork, Her night ended in dismay. “My iPhone six!” she cried As she scrambled though her purse. “I must have left it at the museum, Why, nothing could be worse!” Back to the Musée she traveled Beneath the Parisian moon. But alas, the phone was Read more…
First off, ~*spoiler alert*~ if you care about The Bachelor and didn’t watch last night’s Finale Part 1 and have somehow been able to avoid all mention of what happened to date. Let me be the first to say that I have not been, am not currently, and never will be a fan of The Bachelor(ette). I will never get why anyone would ever want to be on that show (aside from getting their Read more…
Let’s review some dating apps! Tinder Target audience: Literally ANYONE looking for sex who doesn’t want to put in too much effort (or any effort!) to find it. I’ve seen plenty of old men swiping away at women twenty years their junior at the bar. Best Features: As noted above, requires little to no effort to create a profile and start swiping. Worst Features: As noted above, requires little to no effort to create a Read more…
So, as usual, I have zero strategy when it comes to blog post topics and I figured this week I’d do something a little different and instead of talking about random things in the world, I’d talk about the best thing in the world — myself. Jk, jk of course. Obviously the best thing in the world is a perfectly warm and fresh street churro or the mysteriously delicious dollar pizza you used to be able to Read more…
I’m pretty sure I threw the worst party ever to be thrown. Girls were frightened, attendees couldn’t remember things, and two people ended up in the emergency room. This was not a college party. This was my fifth grade slumber party. Starting in fourth grade, nearly every girl in my class had a slumber party to celebrate her birthday. We usually did a lot of the stereotypical “sleepover” things at these parties like braid hair Read more…
I think people like to blame technology and social media and point to millennial trends saying that these are the reasons we can’t be happy with the cards we’ve been dealt in life. I can certainly understand that reaction; we have more access to knowledge of what our neighbors are doing than ever before. I’m not sure where this sense of dissatisfaction (could this even be considered the true FOMO?) came from and if there’s actually any Read more…
Indecisiveness A friend of mine recently asked me, “How do you make a decision?” I literally LOLed. My indecisiveness is one of my biggest weaknesses. “How I make a decision” is typically avoiding the decision until the very last second and then immediately freaking out after the decision has been made. I like living in a game show where doors one, two, and three remain continually available. Making a decision feels like shutting doors one Read more…
