Thoughts Of A Twenty-Something Year Olds

A Sarcastic Letter to Young “Adults”

Dear young “adults”, Feel like a whole lot is happening all at once? Is life starting to become bi-polar? Are you starting to get dizzy from all of the changes? Good because that’s when you start really experiencing life. Things happen: old friends disappear and new friends appear, jobs come and go, interests peak and die out. Cue CIRCLE OF LIFE. As cheesy as it sounds, it’s so totally and…

Earth Day for the Lazy

We all want to say we care about the planet and want to do our part to save it. But, then, things come up and saving a planet just doesn’t fit in our schedules: too busy to plant a whole tree, don’t want to get dirt on our cute dresses, etc. Now for those, who don’t believe anything is happening to our plant – please, see my other articles, and also, you stink. Anyway! There are PLENTY of things…

Expectation vs. RL: Turning 25

Expectation versus Real Life: 25th birthday edition. After your 21st birthday, we’re told everything goes down hill after that: “The next big one is 30!” We’re told that 25 isn’t said to be a hugely celebrated; if anything, it’s deemed our quarter-life-crisis.   1. Career Expectation: Account Manager at some fancy-pants, Fortune 500 dream company putting your hard-earned college degree to good…

Denver + Colorado Musts

19 years ago, little me was in Denver, CO with my family but little me also didn’t remember much from that family trip. So one day a few weeks ago, a conversation with my mom went a little something like this… Mom: Do you remember anything from our Colorado trip? Me: Nope Mom: Want to go back, then? Me: Um, absolutely. Mom: Okay, let’s go at the end of March And just like that, our airfare was…

It’s #InternationalWomensDay and how else does one spend it other than to post a bunch of women’s rights quotes? But how many of us actually understand what a feminist is? It’s not a Women-Above-All mentality, it’s not a Females-Are-Better idea, but it’s a Equal-Rights-For-All thing. It means fighting for both females AND males. It means creating a neutral space where men aren’t superior to women…

Expectation vs. RL: Dieting

It’s a constant war between our love of food and wanting to be “fit”. We want all our muscles being showcased, abs popping out, butt tight, and legs as toned as Carrie Underwood’s… BUT OMG FOOD. 1. The realization that you need to start eating cleaner Expectation: I gained 1 pound – better get back into shape! Reality: I gained 1 pound…every day for the last three years straight.   2. The first…

If Food was My Valentine

Let’s be honest, if we could pick our Valentine, the majority of us would pick a food item…or items. Food knows us best and in all the right ways. Food won’t leave me Food knows my deepest desires Food cares about my well-being Food won’t leave feeling me empty inside Food calms me when I’m stressed Food can’t hurt me All in all, food is the winner. What could be a better date? Enjoy your V-Day…

V-Day, or AKA Victory Day

It’s that time of year again! The time for flowers, chocolate, fancy dinners, and heart shaped everything from cookies to pillows to toilet paper sheets. Instead of complaining about it or calling it SAD-day, let’s call it the name it deserves…Victory Day. We’re victors! We have stayed single for another WHOLE year! We did it, despite all odds: we remained companion-free. February 14 is a day to…

A Guide to the Super Bowl

It’s that yearly event where men put on helmets and chase a ball down the field, and we have to pretend we actually care. Here’s a guide to help those, who don’t really care, get through the night. Here’s what to expect and how to deal with it.   1. Look up who’s playing It’s an über American team from New England and some vicious birds from Atlanta.   2. This is Superbowl LI Which means “Losers…

If Social Media Were People

If social media platforms were people, they would be quite the crowd. Not necessarily a bad crowd, but a weird one. Like Friends, they all just go together somehow.   1. Facebook – The Parent Facebook has slowly turned into “remember the time…” or “read this important article to save your life…” or “I just ate a burger LOL”. It’s a platform to brag about stuff you’ve accomplished or to educate…

What NOT to Say to 20-Somethings

We get it. We should have more of our life put together. We know “at my age I was working full-time and raising a family already,” mom. And we know “at my age I had ten kids already and a house to take care of,” grandma. But guess what? It’s not the 1900s anymore, so society tells us we don’t need to be doing that right now! Some things are just out of our control, though. I mean, we can’t help…

Being in Your 20s: Curse or Blessing?

Let’s face it, we have major ups and downs in our 20s. A lot of shit happens, both good and bad. Some of it is super ugly, lots of crying and anger. Some of it is great though, with screams and jumps and smiles wider than your face. It’s all part of the game, so we just have to learn how to live it. Yeah, sure these things can happen to 30-year-olds, too, but we’re selfish as millennials, and…

We all know that 2016 is ending (hallelujah) and 2017 is a mere wink away (can it really get worse?). We also all know that Buzzfeed quizzes are like the internet and can’t lie to us. Thus, I took all the quizzes that I found on what 2017 will bring for me. Four relationship quizzes and one general quiz… no I’m no desperate, I’m just interested in knowing my future right now. Here’s what my 2017…

What We Really Want for Christmas

It’s that time of year again that requires you to buy everyone, who you’ve ever crossed paths with, a gift. And your family repeatedly asks for what you want as a present. The truth is, what we really actually want, no one can buy for us.   1. Calorie-less food that doesn’t taste like vegetables   2. Money (like a lot)   3. A job that doesn’t suck…well, maybe just a job will work   4. A re-do on…

T-Minus 31 Days…

…to panic because 2016 will soon be over. Holy failed bucket list for the second decade in a row. How is it that 11 months can go by so quickly? And how is it that I am such a procrastinator? [I planned on writing this days ago and look what I’m doing now]   Every year we make the Great List of To Dos and every year we get maybe two marked off, which are typically the “go to gym” (went twice this…

We all know what this time of year means: time to get FAT. We aren’t even shameful about it. We know it’s coming, and we have totally accepted it. As we approach the last week until doomsday, we have to mentally, physically, and emotionally prepare ourselves for Thanksgiving dinner.   Phase One: Stretching ….because we all know that eating such massive amounts of food requires agile bodies.  …

The ABCs of the Election

26 thoughts we all really have about this election. A – Alright, alright, alright is Matthew McConaughey running? B – Bad Hombres the next phrase to be bleeped from TV   C – Can I like fall asleep for the next five days? D – Dumbledore for Prez 2016 E – Election Season equivalent to stabbing your ears over and over F – { f-word goes here } G – GO VOTE H – Hillary or Kate McKinnon? I – I just…
