When I graduated college, my friends and I all cried over the fact that life would be so different without us living just a hallway away from each other. But I don't think I realized how different it would really be. We all have jobs and relationships. Some people have houses and dogs. Some of…

The phrase goes: forgive and forget. Stop feeling the resent you feel towards someone and put it in the back of your mind. That person's mistake that caused you anger or hurt is gone forever and you move on with your life. I've never really been one to forgive because a lot of people ask…
Likes, favorites, retweets, comments, and all those weird emotion things Facebook just added. We live for instant gratification. It's not because we're selfish, it's because of the Internet. It's because we not only have to look great in person but we also have to look great online. There is more than one impression to make…
I’ve never really felt like I fit in. Being quite an introvert and a homebody, I’ve felt myself try to change on many occasions to please other people and to just be accepted. I’ve tried to be the girl that was too cool for school. The girl that only kept a few friends, hated all…

For me, it's the constant need to resist happiness. I think it goes along the lines of imposter syndrome. I had really…
In middle school, having a boyfriend was the only thing that was important. You're in your awkward phase and just need someone to tell you you're pretty. You're still forming friendships and you need someone who is a constant. Your favorite emo songs sing about heartbreak and falling in love and you want to be…
