New Year’s Eve is quite possibly the most overhyped holiday of all time. As a 26-year old woman, your options are the following: 1.) Purchase and wear a sequined dress while spending lots of money at a price-gauged and creeper-ridden open bar. 2.) Purchase and wear a sequined dress, and also an adult diaper, while … Continue reading
Lots of stuff is happening on the internets these days. Anonymous death threats to women for just talking? Check. Hate-filled directives towards minorities in light of recent national tragedies? Triple check. By the way, these are all American happenings. Movements of hate we thought we buried deep in history textbooks have found new life on the … Continue reading
Today is the day I would have graduated law school. Emphasis on the would have- as anyone who read my very first, dust-collecting post knows, I left law school on the second day of classes in January, 2012. I sold my books, ditched my apartment, and burned many, many bridges of those mentioned in previous … Continue reading
This one’s gonna be slightly more serious. I’m in the mood- indulge me. This time four years ago I was a size 4-6, filling in from the size 2 I sported over the summer. Those of you who know me in real life and not on the interwebs know that I’ve always been a curvy … Continue reading
It could be worse. Isn’t that what they always say? I started writing this blog because my life was a series of interesting and regrettable choices that I wanted to document. I mentioned that I wouldn’t mock my current (now former) job because I was so grateful to have it. I make no promises with … Continue reading

A few weeks ago I had the distinct privilege of watching a bootleg copy of Bachelorette with my very dear friend, The Director. She told me before we watched it that I’d like it more than I liked Bridesmaids. I thought she was insane, because Bridesmaids is, like, thebestfemaledrivencomedyever, or so everyone tells me. I … Continue reading
Everyone who knows me knows I hate cliches- those awful quotes people tweet and retweet, and post onto backgrounds of sunsets and rainbows and mountains to vomit all over your Facebook feed. Most of that drivel is pure, unadulterated, Hallmark junk masquerading as inspiration, manufactured so you can make excuses for yourself and your behavior. “What’s … Continue reading
They say opposites attract, so it’s no wonder a sailor-mouthed Planned Parenthood donor like me fell for the charitable, kind golden boy of the NFL. I’ve been stalking your…career ever since you were a baby Gator. I knew we were destined for something because you’re from Florida, and my favorite place in the world happens … Continue reading
I feel like this is one of the debates that has raged on for all mankind. It’s up there with chicken or the egg, vanilla or chocolate, Backstreet Boys or N*SYNC. All my semi-adult life I’ve used the term “hook up” to describe anything in the realm of making out, heavy petting- anything more … Continue reading
