Women’s clothes are weird. If you’re a woman, you probably already know this. If you’re man…well apparently you have an interest in women’s clothes and who am I to judge? Essentially I’m pretty fed up with women’s clothes. Sometimes I fantasize about burning my bra and running naked through the fields with my only covering... Continue Reading →
Maybe I’m a Grammar Nazi (Or Maybe I Just Respect Women’s Intelligence)
I don’t really consider myself a Grammar Nazi. I can get pretty distraught over people’s horribly mutilated YouTube comments that clearly show they don’t have a grasp of the English language, but rarely do I freak out over the misuse of “your” and “you’re” or “its” and “it’s” in casual writing. (Although I definitely have... Continue Reading →
Why I Hate Boobs
Breasts. Boobs. Ta-tas. The rack. The girls. Whatever you want to call them, most women have them in varying degrees. But as much as men love them and how they’re needed for certain womanly duties, I’m kind of not a fan. It’s not that I don’t like breasts in general. They look great and... Continue Reading →
The Reality of “Running For Your Life” in Movies
I was watching the movie “How I Live Now” starring Saoirse Ronan recently—incidentally a lovely Netflix find—which chronicles the experiences of an American girl who’s decided to stay in England with her young cousins and lover as World War III breaks out all around them. (Why you would even send your child to spend... Continue Reading →
My Unanswered TFIOS Question
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! If you have not read the book or seen the movie, do not continue reading! I don’t want to ruin your TFIOS experience. You need to deal with all the feels first. I read John Green’s “The Fault In Our Stars” back in the summer of 2012 when it first hit bookshelves.... Continue Reading →
This is relevant in both life and writing. Happy Tuesday!
Justifying Word Vomit (Novel Writing: Month 5, Chapter 5)
Another month of novel writing: COMPLETE! However, it certainly didn’t come without its challenges. The farther I get into this story, the more I realize how complex it is. I initially started a journal/sketchbook to keep all the little details of the story organized. For the first two or three chapters I did pretty... Continue Reading →
Five Reasons To Be Who You Are
Sometimes I want to be anyone but who I am. No, make that sometimes I always want to be anyone but who I am. Why is that you ask? Is it because I’m fat or ugly or stupid or unsuccessful? Is it because I’m depressed or lonely or confused or lost in life? It’s... Continue Reading →
What It’s Like To Be A “Boring” Teenager
I recently posted a video on my YouTube channel called “Spring Break: Girls Gone Wild” which is my tongue and cheek exposé on the dangers of spring break culture. I very openly admit that I have never actually experienced what one might term a “normal” spring break because of a combination of highly over-protective... Continue Reading →
Five Reasons Being “Cool” is Overrated
When you’re in middle school, you eat, breathe, and live “coolness.” Most likely, you’re not part of the “cool crowd” because that’s reserved for only a select demographic, but you want to be in that group desperately. Maybe if you buy those latest tennis shoes or cut your hair like the most notorious celebrity,... Continue Reading →
