Last year, I was at a friend’s apartment with a bunch of other girls. We were getting ready to go out that night, and I, fresh off a breakup, had made a habit of making attention-seeking comments about guys not approaching me in bars. I said something like that, and one of my friends respondedContinue reading “don’t tell me to be confident”

abort mission!
This is the second time I’ve written this blog, and I didn’t post the first one because it was very aggressive, and I don’t want to give anyone a reason to say I’m being too “emotional.” I am emotional (about everything) but this deserves at least a few coherent sentences. I’m sure this is theContinue reading “abort mission!”
what’s the deal
If you were looking for a thoughtful piece of literature to read, this is not that. Sometimes I feel like every time I post something it needs to be meaningful in some way or take a lot of brainpower, but today I just want to post this dumb list of sentences. Enjoy. what’s the dealContinue reading “what’s the deal”
hypocritical foodie
trigger warning: discussion of eating disorders and disordered eating I love food. But I hate the word foodie. When I hear it, all I can picture is photos of avocado toast and girls out to brunch saying “omg, it’s worth the cals” (sorry, I guess I’m sexist). However, I can’t call myself an expert orContinue reading “hypocritical foodie”
mint chocolate chip ice cream
a run-through of a typical day no one asked for A few days ago I woke up to my 7:15 alarm and rolled over. I set another one for 7:45, thinking this extra 30 minutes would, I don’t know, do something. When that one went off, my arm didn’t work. You might think I meanContinue reading “mint chocolate chip ice cream”
things I got emotional about this week
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! And, happy Maddy v. Cassie day to the Euphoria-watchers! I don’t watch Euphoria but I want you to feel seen. AND, happy whatever is going on between Ye and Pete. Five years ago, did we ever think the bane of Kanye’s existence would be … Pete Davidson? (Love you Pete noContinue reading “things I got emotional about this week”
meet my friend, anxiété
I’ve come to a point where I’m starting to feel at peace with my anxiety. Like maybe it makes me who I am. A nervous, constantly worried, knuckle-cracking 20 year old. I’ve also started blinking weird? Please let me know if you have also experienced weird blinking. Anxiety comes in all shapes and sizes. MostContinue reading “meet my friend, anxiété”
it’s all fun and games!
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about why I like magazines. I mean, obviously, they’re usually pretty to look at, but there’s a lot of pretty things out there I’m not as drawn to (someone please explain to me what it is about Timothée Chalamet. I don’t get it). So as I’ve been thinking aboutContinue reading “it’s all fun and games!”
just trying to figure out where we’re going wrong
In the last, I don’t know, ten years, our society has supposedly made strides when it comes to self acceptance and neutrality about appearance. High-fashion brands pat themselves on the back every time there’s a plus-size model in their show, Instagram influencers are now making money off of BOTH diet culture products and messages ofContinue reading “just trying to figure out where we’re going wrong”
qualms of a student journalist
It’s been almost two years now in the bustling big city of Columbia, Missouri and I guess you could say I’m starting to get the hang of things. And by that I mean I’m getting used to sitting in my room until the sun goes down, making a mug cake at 7:00 and then headingContinue reading “qualms of a student journalist”
