Lately I’ve been thinking about what it truly means to be weird. In childhood, anyone who’s branded “the weird kid” is essentially a social outcast. Instead of having friends and a social life, the weird kid is typically a loner with really obscure interests, supposedly doomed for a life of solitude. But hey, at least … Continue reading
As a white woman, I can’t relate to the racial bias that people of color experience in their everyday lives. Whether that bias is in the form of a microaggression, like being asked a seemingly innocuous question rooted in ignorance, or something intentionally racist and derogatory, like being the target of discrimination based on one’s … Continue reading
The helicopter crash that resulted in the untimely deaths of nine people was absolutely devastating news that shocked everyone this past Sunday.

I’m almost 24 years old, and I’ve never had a boyfriend. I don’t date. I just…don’t. I don’t talk about this often. Maybe because I know it’s “abnormal,” for lack of a better word. Most people my age are in relationships. Some couples who’ve been together for years are now getting engaged. Girls I went … Continue reading
I’m an introvert. Yet, when I was younger, I can honestly say that I was much more full of confidence than I am now. I was more of a happy-go-lucky leader. I was more rambunctious, carefree and bold, and I’ll admit that I’ve lost those qualities along the way due to doubts, insecurities, self-esteem issues, … Continue reading
I’ve had this blog for over a year now, and it’s been fun sharing things like job tips in my recent posts, but I’ve especially enjoyed just sharing news about my life and simply venting about things, albeit for all the world to read. In that sense, I like to think of this blog as … Continue reading
It’s no secret that social media has taken over our generation in such a way that it’s essentially become a necessity. We use Twitter as a direct news source.
