Friends, I am a baseball girl, no doubt about it. I don’t know anything about hockey, don’t like football, and I can’t stand the squeaking of shoes of polished wood floors. In lieu of the fact that I don’t watch many other sports and baseball season ended with me being very disappointed, I’m going to discuss my favorite baseball memory. Ever ( Read more... )

Within the past six months I have taken a position at a print production company. As a recent grad with dreams of entering the work force and having my own office with a desk, computer, and fantastic office supplies to play with( I have an unhealthy obsession with Staples products)and I took this position that barely had a computer, much less ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot recently about how people fight for the issues they care about. I think sometimes when we pick sides we just grasp onto it with this blind faith. So I am choosing an issue that I care about and flopping it around ( Read more... )

I have recently been asked to come back to church by my mother. It wasn’t a direct question. She stopped coming in my room and asking me if I wanted to attend service or Sunday school with her since the first time I came home for a weekend in college. I think I kind of thought it was assumed that I wasn’t religious, or, for that matter, ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like body image is a hush hush subject for girls to talk about.  Other times it just feels way to cliché.  I dunno.  I’ve been having an “I feel fat, but I’m okay with my body” week.  Which happens every so often.  I’M HUMAN, OKAY! I admitted it.  So, today, in a very special post, we will discuss how I hold myself. Awwwwwwww.
