Making the decision to remove someone from your life is hard. You probably have a very lengthy and complicated past with this person. A past that once may have involved happiness and love but began to bring out the worst in you. If someone in your life is putting you down instead of picking you…
Cutting Out And Keeping Out Toxic People
I’m A Relationship Cynic
Some relationships fail. Some relationships succeed. But how are you supposed to know what the outcome will be? There are too many variables when it comes to love. The timing, the emotions, the other players. I just feel like I've seen more relationships fail than I've seen succeed. Therefore, I'm a relationship cynic. We're constantly…
Why I’m Happy That You’re Happy
It's hard to imagine that every person that we pass on the street has a complex and intricate life, just like our own. You don't know them - but they have their own web of lies they've spun too. They have people they care about too. They have problems too. And those people you left…
One Year Blogiversary
It's been one year since I posted my first Hookup Culture article on WordPress and I couldn't be happier!! Hookup Culture started as a school project for my New Media Concentration. I basically just wanted to create a space to openly talk about all the things we normally talk about with our friends. I never…
I Deleted My Online Dating Apps
Online dating is a tricky thing. People use it because they're bored, because they're too busy to meet someone in person, because they've run out of options, and etc. etc. I chose to download multiple online dating apps.

First Date Freakout
If you're calm before a first date, please let me know your secret because I become a mess of anxiety and nerves. Most people freak out. It has to do with a variety of things. You're meeting up with someone in a new way. If you knew them before, you're taking it to another level.…
How To Date Casually
I've always had a hard time having anything but a one track mind. If I'm committed to something or someone, then that's that and I can't think any other way. We casually date because dating is hard. Meeting one person at a time, only to be disappointed after the date and having to wait a…
Why You Should Probably Delete Tinder
I don't think there are many reasons behind why we use social media. Sure, you can use it for your branding, to meet people, to read the news - but we mostly use it because we're bored. Tinder is no exception. My generation loves instant gratification. We love getting likes on our pictures and retweets…
We’re Always Changing And It’s Not Always Bad
I've been in this world for 22 years now. That's approximately 1/4 of a lifetime. To some, it may seem like that's nothing - like I've been here for an hour when they've been here for a year. To people my age, it's a lot and time doesn't seem to be slowing down. In my…
