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 »

However, I’ve been fighting the “All New Yorkers are rude” stereotype ever since I returned to Texas from my Marie Claire internship two years ago. While I have … Continue reading »
I’ve been an official New York City resident for a little under two months now, but this is my second round living the life as a working New Yorker. I was here three years ago as an intern at Marie Claire magazine, and it was the most magical experience of my life. To this day, I refer … Continue reading »
In recent years I’ve come to realize that people are a little surprised when they meet me because I get very comfortable with them — and very quickly. It’s just the way I always have been — a personality quirk — you could call it. But, alas, it’s the way I am and how I’ll … Continue reading »
Often in life, we gravitate towards people who are ‘positive.’ What does this word mean exactly? For most, it alludes to an attitude that is upbeat, future-oriented, happy, and overall lacking a certain factor of gloomy glumness – to put it one way. Many experts advise most people to adapt to this sort of happy-go-lucky … Continue reading »
Alas, there are mysteries of our world that will probably never be solved, codes that aren’t meant to be cracked.
