This past weekend had some of the nicest weather that we’ve seen in a while. I’m talking about the sun finally coming out of hibernation, and for the first time, it truly felt like spring.

Lent Update 3
I can’t believe there’s is only ten days left of Lent. I also can’t believe that other then one cheat day that I actually stuck with the whole not buying books thing for 40 days. For a bookworm like me, that is actually quite impressive. Of course, I’ve been tempted. I’ve been getting so many couponsContinue reading “Lent Update 3”
Attracting Positive Vibes
In life, there are some people who just seem to be negative, and weigh you down instead of lifting you up. Those are the people who often spend their time looking at the glass being half full instead of empty, using the social media as a blank canvas for their complaints, and insert negativity intoContinue reading “Attracting Positive Vibes”
The Art of Being Present
Last week, I visited my college campus to pick up my diploma (long story, but my original one was damaged in the mail). And, it got me thinking. Lately, I’ve been thinking about my time at Southern.

Anxiety and Booze: Why I Won’t Meet You For Drinks
I am 22 years old, a college graduate, and I’ve never been drunk or set foot in a bar. At parties, instead of drinking the punch, my red solo cups are filled with ginger ale or water.

In my 22 years on this planet, I’ve had my share of hurt feelings and wrongdoings — broken hearts caused by my few exboyfriends, friends who thought it was okay to talk behind my back, and so on. You know, all of the drama that you would see on a reality show. Lately, I’ve beenContinue reading “Learning to Forgive”
Lent Update 2 — Cheat Day
Sixteen days in, and I cracked. Okay, well cracked is a bit harsh. So, let’s call it a cheat day. With that being said, I had a good reason. I swear! Let me paint the scene for you. Last Friday, after a week of bed rest, drinking a terrible concoction (a.k.a. Pedia Lyte), and terribleContinue reading “Lent Update 2 — Cheat Day”
6 Things Every Guy Dating a Career Oriented Girl Should Know

Good Vibes?
I am a huge believer in the Evil Eye, Hamsas and good fortune. I wear some version of the evil eye to ward off some evil or ill wishes that may be floating around. I believe in the concept of a lucky jade green necklace, thinking that is the reason why that good thing happenedContinue reading “Good Vibes?”
