When I was about eighteen, I brought a picture of Shay Mitchell to my hair stylist before a haircut, since she and I both have thick, dark hair. Eighteen is very young to have to learn the lesson that I learned that day*, which is that despite having similar hair texture, Shay Mitchell and I… Continue reading A reference image for my therapist

Life Skills
Every month, there’s some tweet authored by a teenager, commenting on the wide berth between the skills taught in K-12 education, and those required to function as a real adult. My school attempted to bridge this gap with a mandatory class called Life Skills that we took senior year. I wasn’t sure what to expect… Continue reading Life Skills
Welcome to… Back to School Month
I am on the record as having said that learning someone was popular in high school makes me like them significantly less. So it will likely come to you as no surprise that I didn’t have the easiest time in high school. Like a lot of late bloomers, I have a fraught relationship with my… Continue reading Welcome to… Back to School Month
A Humble Request [Day 15/100]
Whoops, it's been a week-ish since I posted. It doesn't matter why* but what does matter is that I'm here now. While I wasn't writing on this blog, I was reading! In the past week I read four YA mystery novels. They were all fantastic, and I recommend**. I was able to do so because… Continue reading A Humble Request [Day 15/100]
Moving On [12/100]
One side effect of this pandemic is that I'm moving out of my apartment of three years, and back in with my parents. There are a lot of reasons why this is the right move, but it's still incredibly bittersweet to say goodbye to the place I've called home for a significant part of my… Continue reading Moving On [12/100]
My favorite dating app story [Day 11/100]
I have had some kind of dating app on my phone for the past six years, on and off, starting with Tinder. While I am currently on a dating app hiatus, I thought I'd take this time to share the funniest dating app story I can think of, because I think about it occasionally and… Continue reading My favorite dating app story [Day 11/100]
5 Things 5.17.20 [Day 10/100]
Today, I'd like to give a few shoutouts to the things, activities, and people who are keeping me from going completely feral during this shelter in place. This could get slightly consumer-y, for which I apologize, hopefully I will achieve self-actualization soon. Budgeting on Mint: Budgeting has historically been terrifying and very stressful for me,… Continue reading 5 Things 5.17.20 [Day 10/100]
Spiritual Encounters [Day 08/100]
Sorry I'm late, I was busy watching YouTube videos about astrology and numerology. Part of me wishes I were kidding but part of me also is glad I'm not. I think the main reason why I like astrology (and talking about it) is that it's a fun litmus test to find out if the person… Continue reading Spiritual Encounters [Day 08/100]
My favorite joke on TV ever [Day 06/100]
This is my favorite joke in all of television history. No one ever talks about it, and I had to take these shitty screen grabs myself because no one had posted this genius on the internet before. Real Suite Life fans know.
Thoughts on my favorite crush [Day 04/100]
Today, I would like to talk to you all about my favorite crush of all time, who I will refer to as H for the sake of this post. I haven't had quite as many crushes as my nature would suggest, but the fact that H is my favorite crush says a lot about him,… Continue reading Thoughts on my favorite crush [Day 04/100]
