This all started out with me traveling this summer by myself. It isn’t anything spectacular considering I stayed within the continental US and many people have been doing this since they were like 13, but for me it is a little more than ordinary. I am currently in the Phoenix airport at this adorable restaurant […]
Time for Change and I’m not talkin’ Obama
Nothing like vanity and a good dose of monotony to get you to change something! This will be short…I hope. Today I looked in the mirror and did not like what I saw like many women of America. This brought up some issues I have with myself: 1. Self-denial 2. Lack of self-control when it […]
“DOMA Ruled Unconstitutional By Federal Appeals Court”—Via Huffington Post

The Adventures of US Airways
Today, I am on my way to San Diego to meet my family for some summer fun time. I used the website Hotwire.com to arrange this little getaway and failed miserably.

The deceiving puzzle piece
You know that puzzle piece that seemingly matches every gap you have in your puzzle only to not match flush against the exposed edges? Yes, that is what I am right now—or at least how I feel right now. I have just finished watching the latest episode of Mad Men and it was one of […]
Summer Days
Summer has long since begun. The graduation statuses and pictures are starting to die down. Many peers have left for Europe and Africa and June is fast approaching. The obvious signs of Summer have risen: Increased time watching TV, Hulu, Netflix, cable movie channels, and Vudu that you wouldn’t have otherwise watched due to classes […]
Graduation Anxiety
…and I am not even graduating! Today is the first day of commencement at UT Austin and my Twitter and Facebook feeds are blowing up with students anxious and excited about graduation. However, when I see these updates I can feel my heart rate elevate ever so slightly. The real world: what I have been […]
Longevity.
So it is dead days. Days with no class and tons of finals. I just took a final that erased the last shred of confidence that I have. (Don’t worry, more shreds of it are to be lost with subsequent finals.) I am sitting here, on my couch, watching the old TV show Felicity on […]
