I ran into one of my work friends on the way home today. She told me that she has been feeling overwhelmed with work and everything else going on in her life. She said that she doesn’t know if work is serving her & feels like she is missing out on friends and other activities. I feel that. This past…

NOT EMBARASSED
& I probably should be. I was sitting at the bar with my mom & one of the regulars the other day and we were just having a casual conversation about our use of Metamucil. Despite this topic not really being one best suited for a restaurant, it’s also one that most people would be embarrassed by. Yet, we didn’t…

NOT PUT FIRST
Unpopular opinion: I don’t want my boyfriend to put me first (Maybe second though). The other day a girl reached out to me over DM and asked for some relationship advice. She told me that her and her boyfriend were taking a break because he needed to focus on school. He felt like he was less of a man because…

ALWAYS IN THE WRONG
I was expressing a problem I had to my boyfriend the other day & as I was drafting up various versions of the same text in attempt to explain emotions without being able to talk face to face (which is not an easy feat), I noticed something. Every time I write and rewrite, I’m always the one at fault. If…

BACK ON CAMPUS
& to be completely honest, I’d rather be anywhere else. I wander around the busy streets of Ann Arbor and notice kids rushing to class or basking in the sun in the diag or standing in line for boba or limping home from yoga. These scenes are so familiar that they take me back to the last time I lived…

CREATING CONTENT
I’ve been told to “create content” countless times over the span of my life. I mean, what do you expect when working in social media for as long as I can remember? I would say that my interests lead me to live a pretty Instagram-worthy life – cute coffee shops, spending every chance I can at the beach, going on…

MEDIOCRE
Growing up I’ve always been just okay at everything. An okay dancer, an okay student, an okay employee, you get it. But it never bothered me. My younger brother was always good at everything he did without having to try, so I somewhat felt like I lived in his shadow. Yet, as sad as this sounds, it didn’t make me…

JUST A WAITRESS
I quit my job yesterday. I simply told the hosts at the restaurant not to sit me anymore and as soon as my table left, so did I. This leaving mid-shift is my form of storming out. I once put in a two weeks notice and was told that it was entirely unnecessary. I don’t just leave. I don’t want…

WANNABE WRITER
I’m an english major. & yes, I do want to be a writer. Well, actually I’m a communications major with minors in creative writing and social media. But if I wasn’t already in too deep, you bet I would have switched to english. Anyway, that’s beside the point. Whenever someone asks me where I go to school & what for…
