let’s talk vulnerability
Lately I feel like quotes are sort of appearing to me that end up being incredibly apt to my current life. I ran across this particular quote while I was reading one of those free trashy romance iBooks that I download to read as I’m going to bed. It was such a weird place to find something that resonated so deeply with me, which sort of makes me feel like I was destined to find it.
“Real strength comes from being vulnerable without flinching. Real strength comes from admitting when you feel weak—and asking for help to become strong again.”

my art!!
Hello to all 2 of the people who read my blog! My life is changing quickly and very amazingly in ways that I really didn’t expect. I got a job as a research assistant in a behavioral psychology lab that I’ll be starting very soon that’s essentially a stepping stone to me hopefully (hopefully, HOPEFULLY) getting into medical school. Unfortunately that means that I’ll be … Continue reading my art!!
my depression story
Okay. This is my depression story. I feel very uncomfortable typing out all of this but I feel like it might make me feel better or at least create something I can look back on. Idk really. I feel like my first time feeling depression in a way that I can relate to feeling in the full throes of depression was sometime during sophomore year … Continue reading my depression story
let’s talk the perfect guy
In an adderall induced frenzy during finals week my friend Jen and I got into an intense and, frankly, time consuming discussion about what kind of man we like/who we eventually think that we will end up with. It’s a super hard thing to pin down because ultimately it involves knowing yourself so well and then also predicting the fucking future. But basically, I wanted … Continue reading let’s talk the perfect guy
me: a lying, people-pleasing sociopath
So, I’m sitting here at the end of the first semester of senior year of college waiting to board my flight which has been delayed twice already and I’m realizing that I’m struggling with the same things I was over the summer but honestly I do not want to talk about that at all. Instead, I want to talk about boys. I love talking about … Continue reading me: a lying, people-pleasing sociopath
let’s talk hookup culture
Every news organization in the world (but mostly just The Odyssey) has written some derivative article about hookup culture in colleges around the US. They say that hookup culture is ruining dating and tells guys that girls don’t want to be treated well. I mean that’s all a load of bullshit.
let’s talk friends
At this moment I am surrounded (emotionally) by the greatest group of friends I have ever had. It’s taken some time to get to a place where I am truly happy with everyone around me and man oh man is it worth the wait.
the cool girl
“Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl.”
half birthday
When I turned 20 I wrote a list of the 19 things I learned in my 19th year in life. I didn’t really share it with anyone I just wrote it and saved it away. Now I am officially 20.5 years and 7 days old (my half birthday was a week ago). Everything I wrote is still true and there are some hard lessons that I learned … Continue reading half birthday
the future
I’m about to be a senior in college and my future has never looked murkier to me. I know in a broad sense who I want to be, but at this point I really am not for sure about what I want to do and how I’m going to get there.
