I'm not sure why being single seems like it's the end of the world. I guess no matter how hard I looked at it, no one looked as happy when they were single as they did when they were in a relationship. There was a good chunk of time for me when being single was like torture.…
Once upon a time I got dumped and just did not know how to deal. I felt like I had failed the relationship, my boyfriend, myself. I thought I didn't really deserve to fall in love again - like I had missed my chance. And time and time again I was thrown into dating scenarios where…
Sometimes, due to human nature, we just have a problem with ending something we've gotten comfortable with. Even though we know what we're doing isn't right for us, it would just be more of a hassle to learn to live a new way. I've done it before. I lived a life where I was…

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…
