I’m three weeks into my last semester of college (hopefully…) and I just realized this is the first time I’ve ever truly felt like a college student. It has taken me four and a half years (or, nine semesters). My first job when I was 16 was at a Quizno’s and I worked as many […]
I am making a conscious effort to eat only whole foods and no processed fake stuff loaded with sugar, and it’s getting easier as time goes on. Carry-out pizza? No thanks. Salty canned snacks? I’ll pass. So, while I know I should not be eating certain things, I am never one to pass up ice cream […]
We were one of the few tables at Beggar’s Banquet one night for my friend’s 22nd birthday, and drinks were being consumed while laughter erupted from our corner. It was a Sunday night but we were down to cause a fracas until the restaurant closed. I never understood why some bars in a college town would want to close […]
There is so much happening today that really puts me off. On one hand I would like to live a simplified life and be an eco-friendly hermit and just live my life for myself and those closest to me, and on the other hand I’d like to storm DC waving a flaming baton and shouting […]
When this little diddy was first introduced, I scoffed at it. Why would anyone ever trade in a book for a little screen to read on? Based on prior experiences, electronic device screens have an awful glare and hurt your eyes if you look at it for too long. I thought it was a disgrace […]
Ah yes, yet another night of staying up late to finish my case study briefs while episodes of Boy Meets World loop in the background. I am not even sure how many cases I’m supposed to read, but I have four done and the assumed remaining two will be dealt with in the morning. It’s […]
It sucks having ideas for things to write about, but not having enough time to actually flush out all of your thoughts into coherent sentences to relay it to other people. Homework is becoming more of a priority, and I am going out less. I deleted my Facebook today, and it was amazing the number of […]
If temples have a constant flux of caffeine, prescribed drugs, alcohol and various other substances going through them. I know nutrition, I know fitness. So why don’t I follow the guidelines I know would be best for me? Because I’m lazy, I like to drink and I haven’t been able to actually buy groceries in […]
After I moved to Colorado Springs and my friend had flown home, it struck me that I was in a completely new city without anyone to really talk to and without the slightest clue as to where I really was. It’s weird to reflect on where I was – at home in Michigan, surrounded by […]
This past year, I’ve changed a lot. I don’t know if “matured” is the best word because I still have the sense of humor comparable to an eight year old, but I digress. One of the most notable changes that has occurred within myself is that I’ve taken on a more feminist approach to how […]
I'm on the pursuit of happiness
