So. I’ve been a complete and utter failure at writing on this blog ever since I started grad school and have decided to give my day away to someone more worthy.
Since I own this blog, I will surely not disappear completely… and I will be around on weekends and random weekdays when I have something [...]

Hello all… long time no see!
In honor of April Fools Day, I am recycling my post from last year… enjoy!

On April 2nd, 2008…
So yesterday was April Fools Day and boy do I love a whole day devoted to making people feel like idots. Ha. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to play any deliciously [...]

As twentysomethings, I’m sure a lot of you have felt the effects of this whole credit crisis/recession/worst economy ever thing. It seems to me like many of the “solutions” contradict each other. On one hand, Obama is putting a few extra dollars in our paychecks in order for us to go and “stimulate” the economy. [...]

I’m at the point in life where it seems like there are just not enough hours in the day. The work week is busy, and the weekend is busier. There’s just never enough time to sleep.
I realize this is normal. A lot of people have full-time jobs plus other weekly commitments (in my case [...]

Last night I started writing a post for today… but of course, I didn’t have a chance to finish it. It was about a segment I saw on Good Morning America the other day. Take a look…

Now tell me your opinion. I was going to give you all [...]

There are a lot of different numbers that can freak someone out… the number signifying how much money you owe, the number of years you still have left of school, the number of people you’ve hooked up with… but the number I am most afraid of is the number of years I’ve been alive.
I know, [...]

I have three of them. They are awesome girls and I enjoy living with them. But no matter how much you like your roommates, there are always those dreaded issues.
Cleaning - This is hard when you have four people living in an apartment who all have cleaning on very different places on their list of [...]

Hi guys.
Wow, I suck. I was totally planning on writing a long, wonderful, amazing post for your reading pleasure today… and then I fell asleep.
Let’s reschedule for Friday. See you then… say…. 11am? Great.
But anyways… there are some changes going on over here at UNW. We’ve been slacking and we feel bad. Especially me. So [...]

I have a lot of going on right now… I’ve been interviewing for jobs, preparing to start grad school, dating a new guy, trying to fill in my free time with odd jobs…. no one said being 22 wasn’t chaotic. And once I do have a job and my classes have started, things will only [...]

I feel a little bit guilty that today is my turn to write a post here, and I’m not sure what to do with it.
I am so happy about how the election turned out yesterday that I can’t even begin to describe to you how I am feeling.
I know that not all of you voted [...]

About a month ago I wrote the rejected post and told you all of my fear that I wouldn’t get into my grad school of choice.
Welllll…….. I did! I did! I got in!
But wait… before we bring out the bubbly and have ourselves a party, there is one little minor problem. Umm… how am I [...]

Just a few words from me today, as I’m beginning my cross-country journey this afternoon. I haven’t quite finished my packing.
I want to give you all some advice. This is monumental advice. Please listen carefully. Ready?
Take. LOTS. Of. Pictures.
You’re only in your twenties for ten years! For most people, it will be the most adventurous [...]

In exactly one week from today, my car will be packed to the brim with all of my possessions and I will drive away from the place I’ve called home for the past ten months. This will be the second time in a year that I have made the journey across the country, leaving behind [...]

Rejection is something that I do not handle very well at all. I take it personally. Really personally. Even when I know I shouldn’t. I recognize this about myself, but still can’t seem to get over it.
Rejection is something that you usually have to deal with a lot in your twenties and it comes in [...]

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 [...]
