Hidden and Protected: Something Feels Different
This is for all the people who are irritated by the cliches that people in relationships think are advice. All the: "you'll find them when you least expect it", "work on yourself", "put yourself out there". I am here to explain the "bad" advice that everyone gives before I get in a relationship. Yes, you… Continue reading Hidden and Protected: Something Feels Different
A Crush by Any Other Name
When my alarm went off this morning, I lay there for a snooze and wondered if you'd be at work today. If you weren't going to be, I could snooze once more then throw on my uniform and grab coffee before running out. If you were, I would need to get up... I would need… Continue reading A Crush by Any Other Name
Top Housing Design Trends That Need to Die
So I think we can all agree, this housing market sucks. In what world is a 3 bed 2 bath house built in 1997 that sold for $120,000 in 2011 allowed to have an asking price of $450,000 in 2025 with absolutely minor adjustments made to the house? Apparently this one... but never mind that.… Continue reading Top Housing Design Trends That Need to Die
Breaking a Toxic Cycle
One of the best things about being a girl has to be the way we share about the guys we like. I always love telling and hearing about the cute moments. I told my friends I was talking to this guy, he was picking on me about the way I say "taco" and I would… Continue reading Breaking a Toxic Cycle
Uniquely Feminine Perspective
Something you should know about me, is that I have a tendency to take things at face value, I will take you at your word and move on (guess that makes me a little gullible). That is until something sparks in me that starts a deep dive into a single word and what it means… Continue reading Uniquely Feminine Perspective
im-Patiently Waiting
I am a month away from being 25 and I have never been in a real relationship. Sure, I've flirted and been on a few dates here and there. I've gotten close to guys, seen their vulnerabilities and shared my own. I have showed my big personality and waited for the initial novelty to wear… Continue reading im-Patiently Waiting
Live like you were dying
Many, maybe even most, of us have heard Tim Macgraw’s 2004 hit “Live Like You Were Dying”. But if by some chance you haven't heard this song, its the story of a man learning he has a terminal illness and instead of moping about, he went skydiving, climbed the Rocky Mountains, and rode a bull… Continue reading Live like you were dying
What’s your favorite movie?
I once dated a guy that the only thing we had in common to talk about was Game of Thrones. We met on Tinder during the last season of the show and somehow we actually went on several dates. Somehow I met his friends. Somehow it was still nice to be around him but man we… Continue reading What’s your favorite movie?
Not What I had in mind
In 2005, there was a bag at Target that all of us had to have. It was a rubbery bag (that matched our jelly shoes) in pink or blue with an initial on it. Most of the girls got their last name initial on it, but me... in 5th grade... decided I needed my first initial because… Continue reading Not What I had in mind
Mourning the Life I didn’t even enjoy
It's a strange phenomenon mourning the life you knew, when you weren't even in a good place. In How I Met Your Mother, they called it "graduation goggles". But it's not that I am looking back fondly on a situation that was hard. Trust me! I remember every single thing I complained about, and so… Continue reading Mourning the Life I didn’t even enjoy
weekend Bach Trip
Who's ready for another itinerary? Now I know there are plenty of these out there, especially because it is for the bachelorette capital of the world. But I've already put in the work, so please enjoy the fruits of my labor: Plans for a 3 night 4ish day trip to Nashville, TN + costs. These… Continue reading weekend Bach Trip
hi
It's been a while, a lot has changed... and yet nothing at all.
I Have Read the End
I have always been someone who didn’t mind spoilers. Especially those that were about the end. It may be why I flourish in learning history, I know the ending but It doesn’t mean I don’t want to know how we got there. I like having a good plot twist and surprise but I’m actually more… Continue reading I Have Read the End
Truly, Something Magical
Mid March 2020 If you care about Disney at all, you've definitely heard about the park (and resort) closures. You may have heard that, unfortunately, Disney made the hard decision to send the College Program participants home early. These hardworking heart and soul of the Walt Disney Company were devastated by the news and they… Continue reading Truly, Something Magical
“Hey! I heard you work for Disney”
I woke up to a Cast Member's worst nightmare the other day. The dreaded Facebook Message from a friend of a friend "hey, I heard you work for Disney". I prepped myself as I read the preview and opened the message ready to say "so sorry I have no tickets to give". And to my… Continue reading “Hey! I heard you work for Disney”
