Crap. When did this happen? When did I turn 24? Well — technically it happened on April 26, 2013 — but I’m still having trouble accepting that I am living in a Cyberspace age like 2013, let alone that I’m 24. I’m the baby — how could I actually be this old and remember my … Continue reading »
Okay, I promise this isn’t a post just to bitch about “why guys just say the dumbest things,” blah, blah, blah. I really do empathize with the pressure a guy must feel when introducing himself to a new girl. He not only needs to have the right approach that’s just smooth enough without being douchey … Continue reading »
Ahh, Facebook. How it has completely changed the way people interact and have expectations for “normal” social behavior. We now have rules for things that didn’t even exist less than a decade ago. What’s appropriate to say in a status update? Is it okay to post a million selfies of yourself? Should I be “friends” … Continue reading »

And to you I’d say: I don’t blame you for thinking that. But didn’t a wise person once say that age wasn’t about the … Continue reading »
If you know me, then you know that I’ve usually worn my hair pretty long — rarely is it shorter than a few inches below my collar bone. I’ve cut it short before, (I wore a “slightly angled bob” once because I was too scared to go for the full effect) but it’s never been … Continue reading »
One of life’s greatest struggles has always been the ability of letting go — of possessions, people, our emotions. Many philosophers and spiritual leaders argue that becoming attached to physical things, people and even our feelings is not only unhealthy, but can also be very detrimental to your overall well-being — for your current life … Continue reading »
If there was something I definitely could not live without, it would be music (also, lotion — really neurotic about this, but I’ll save it for another post…) — it keeps me going for almost every minute of everyday: getting ready in the mornings, on my way to work, at work, shopping, on the way home from … Continue reading »
Having the name I do, for my entire life, I’ve had to engage in a two-step introduction process when meeting people that usually goes something like this… Stranger: Hi, I’m Jennifer.
