As discussed in the post below, sometimes an unfortunate theme of our twenties is forgetting to put the work into our cherished friendships. However, today, I’m here to talk about the flip side– what to do about friendships that may have passed their prime.
As a general rule, it always seems a little easier to keep [...]

In college, I never thought much about friendship. I didn’t have to. It was always there. In this bubble, friends were made easily (well, some I “paid for” — I was in a sorority. [...]

If you read my blog, then you already know that I spend quite a bit of my time babysitting. I watch three little girls ages 4, 3, and 1, but spend the majority of the time with just the baby.
On a very regular basis, I take the baby with me on errands. She loves to [...]

It really bothers me that once a girl reaches her mid-twenties, a lot of people think it’s all of a sudden time for her to settle down. At family get togethers there are always awkward questions. Friends getting married and people looking at me expecting me to flash some bling at them and yell out [...]

Growing up in a small town, the question ringing through my mind as an adolescent was not whether I would leave, but when I would leave, and where I would go.
Sure, there were people who stayed—those who married their prom date, who secured high paying jobs at the mill out of high school, who purchased [...]

I have a friend who is always in a relationship. As soon as one boyfriend has been dumped (or has dumped her), she’s already moved on to someone else. The ex can still be seen walking away and she’s already got on a new dance partner. It’s hard  to keep track of all the Jacks,  [...]

A couple days ago I found out that a friend from high school recently got engaged. My immediate thought wasn’t “Oh wow! Good for her!” like it should have been. Instead, with only the slightest hint of jealousy, I said, “Great. There’s another one.”
I graduated high school in 2004 with less than a hundred kids. [...]

I have been told countless times that, in the decades to come, I will be eternally grateful about looking young for my age.
However, at the moment, it’s a pretty big pain in the ass.
This is mostly because I’m already partially situated in a profession in which I am objectively quite young (non-stop university since ending [...]

Ah yes, I am the last 20something to post, gah. Not the best foot to start off on, but I suppose that’s part of the 20something saga…..starting on one foot the wrong way and then starting over, on the other foot (foot could be literal or hypothetically speaking) the “right way.” I have a million [...]

At the ripe, wondrous age of 22, I am still pretty new to this being 20something thing. I’m still learning what to do, what not to do, how to be an adult… I’m definately not an expert on the topic. But in my very first post on this new group blog, I will share with [...]

Hi! My name is Brandy and I write at “It’s like, I’m…mmmagic!“. I’m excited to be a member of this new site and look forward to entertaining you with my horrible dating experiences and undying love for fictional character who are no longer on television except in the glory that I call ‘re-runs’.  We decided [...]

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by our very new and exciting group blog!
Brief introductions may be in order. My blogger moniker is Princess Pointful, which is also known as the most embarrassing name ever to have to introduce yourself as in real life. I’m 26 years old, which I am frightened may make [...]
