This month I turn 29, my last year in my 20s. Insanely enough, I started this blog when I was 21. So I’m creeping up on 8 years writing on this blog. In that time, we’ve had a name change from Hookup Culture to Rosie Culture. I was a recently-dumped broken-hearted sorority girl trying to…
One thing that can become extremely exhausting is always feeling the need to prove yourself. I think I’m a pretty defensive person, I’m a middle child so I feel like I had to hold my ground a lot growing up. Felt like I had to prove myself while sandwiched between 2 older sisters and 1…
I honestly can't stand all of the articles I read that are like "You're in your 20's! Quit your job and open up an ice cream shack in the Bahamas!" or "Don't worry about getting a job - backpack through Europe and find yourself!" Come on, in my early 20s I lived with my parents…
If we were having coffee I’d tell you that April is my busy month at work so I haven’t had much time to do anything! How’s work going? Most of you know I started a new job back in October. After a year of being really unhappy at my last job (and honestly a track…
In March 2020 I was 26 years old living in New Hampshire, only had one dog, and a completely different job. Now I’m 28 (almost 29) back in New Jersey with 2 dogs, engaged, and 2 jobs past that job in 2020. I don’t think I’ll stop talking about COVID any time soon. It has…
Nothing like a good ol pandemic to make you change part of your personality, right? I’ve always been introverted, but in the last 2 years I’ve basically lost all social skills. DoorDash means I don’t have to order food in person or even meet up with a delivery driver. Working from home meant meeting all…
For years I’ve thought to myself, I wonder when I’ll get burnt out on social media. I work in social, this blog and social are a passion project, and then I also maintain it for family and friends. It’s a lot, I’ve had over 20 accounts linked to my phone at one time. I didn’t…
It happens to the best of us, we put up a wall and we have no idea how to knock it down. Someone along the way hurt you enough or broke your heart enough for you to start building brick by brick. An indestructible shield around yourself so that no one could get through like…
I can’t decided if WFH is really for me. At the start of the pandemic, I worked from home for 2 months before I was laid off. At my next job, I was in the office full time which wasn’t weird for me because I barely got that WFH experience. But at my new job…
