It never occurred to me until recently that my parents didn’t have a lot of money.
It wasn’t that we were ever poor, per se. We always had food on the table and clothes on our back. My dad always worked full-time, and my mom almost always was working most days of the week. [...]

When I was 17, I impulsively told a boy I loved him. It was the summer. I was starting college in the fall, and we were dangling our feet off a cliff into the lake, my parents packing up their picnic basket in the distance. We’d been dating for nearly a year, talking on the [...]

Most people grow more reflective in the beginning of the year. January 1 is the time for resolutions, for looking back and thinking ahead. I seldom make resolutions on New Year’s Eve, but instead reserve most of the deep thoughts and contemplation for January 10, which this year, happens to be my twenty-fifth birthday. Despite [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
