    These Last Few Weeks

    These Last Few Weeks

    I write this because writing heals my heart and because I hope that through being honest, I can reach out to other recent college graduates that might connect with what I have to say. Looking back, I’m not sure what I expected in the weeks following my college graduation, but whatever I might have anticipated,… Continue reading

    What I Learned From Failing the LEED Green Associate Exam. Twice.

    What I Learned From Failing the LEED Green Associate Exam. Twice.

    I have kind of kept it on the down low on social media, but it’s no secret that I spent the months of February, March, April, and May studying for the LEED Green Associate exam. Before I go any further, let me explain what that is to those of you who might not know. There is… Continue reading

    Life as a College Graduate…

    Life as a College Graduate…

    …sucks. No, really. From the time I was five years old, my internal calendar has always revolved around the school year. Normal people consider January the start of the new year and December its end. For me, that beginning started in August, when school started, and ended in May to the tune of this awesome… Continue reading

    Dear Diploma

    Dear Diploma, My mom says that on my very first day of school, I cheerfully told her goodbye and walked into the building, eager to learn and happy to be there. She says that while a few kids were crying and most were unwilling to go in, I didn’t look back. Now, on my very… Continue reading

    Random pictures

    Here is the thought process that happened to my brain this morning as I was curled up in bed with my cat and watching Pitch Perfect (can we say first day off in EVER?): Wow! I’m almost done with college. That means I’m smart. No, wait a minute, I don’t know anything. That’s the mark that I… Continue reading

    I Woke Up To Black Clouds Over My Head On Earth Day

    I have no idea what went down in downtown Phoenix this morning, but this is what I saw hovering over the city as I drove to campus today (pictures taken from the McDonald’s parking lot on 7th and McDowell). The sad thing is that these clouds of smoke or general pollution or whatever they were are… Continue reading

    How My Cat’s UTI Sorted Out My Priorities

    I bet the first thing you thought of when you read the title was this: Best part in Harry Potter I. But I digress. Tonight, I took my cat, Gypsy, to her vet and found out that she has a urinary tract infection. She had been showing symptoms for weeks: peeing on clothes left on the… Continue reading

    One More Month

    I graduate college a month from today. I guess I should be both terrified and excited about this. After all, it’s what I’ve been working towards for the past four years. But at this point, I’m not either of those things. Right now, all I feel is stressed. The amount of stress that I’m under… Continue reading

    Last Night, My Boyfriend Told Me a Story

    I don’t talk about my boyfriend a lot on social media, purely because nobody wants to be friends with someone in That Couple – you know that one. The one that does stuff like this. But what he did last night bears repeating. And this is my damn blog.  It goes without saying that at… Continue reading
