Contrary to popular belief, I have literally no idea what is happening. My brain is the confusion meme, verbatim. All. hours. of. the. day. I often find myself asking the age old question of, wut? Occasionally I switch it up with a smile closely followed by several head nods. Yet each time the conclusion is … Continue reading i have no idea what is going on & neither do you
This morning, like most mornings, my cell phone alarm blares from a mere three inches away from my face, still clutched between my sleep deprived hands. My poor pinkies have lost all feeling, so I say a prayer to god, thanking him for inventing the pop socket. This glorious invention allows me to rightfully feed … Continue reading A harsh day in the life of an upperclassman
What better time than summer to unironically read a fluff summer romance novel while lounging by the pool? I'd love to say I spend the summer reading Emily Dickinson, Moby Dick, or some other intellectually challenging works of writing, but no. I decided to read a mix of summer romance, humor and whatever sounded good … Continue reading The 5 books I read this summer

The other day I came across a quote that really hit home, and I wanted to share it with those of you who haven't yet discovered it via the internet. Sadly … Continue reading proposing a purpose
Upon walking home from class, I almost always, out of habit, check my mail box. I get on my tip toes and reach in, hoping to find something, while at the same time hoping I won't. I absolutely love receiving snail mail, but only if it's not from the city of Charleston, or my BFF … Continue reading The power of snail mail
life has been too wonderful lately, so naturally something bad is bound to happen. Forming those words, I know how ridiculous it sounds. I'm complaining about the wonderful aspects of my life, under the assumption that soon it'll be taken away. Since my life has been ravishing recently, I'm sitting here pining, because sooner rather … Continue reading the guilt of having it good
here's a hint. you can't. So a better title would be, how to cope with not being able to please everyone. I know that I'd describe myself as a "WOO", meaning that I attempt to Win Others Over. My soul is unsettled knowing that someone is mad at me or that we're on bad terms. … Continue reading How to please everyone
If ever in your life you felt motivated for a few months, and then lose all momentum, you are about to relate to this post. For the past 5 years of my life, I've either been in two places.
