Every year around this time people start getting self-reflective. Every year around this time memes and people’s facebook posts start talking about how “This year was terrible, can’t wait for the new year.” Every. Single. Year. Last year, everyone was saying that 2016 sucked and that 2017 would be “their” year. Now, I’m seeing a … Continue reading I Will Not Live Life Looking Forward to a New Year.
My Life- As Told By 10 Year Olds
The great thing about teaching 5th grade is they have active imaginations. The bad thing about teaching 5th grade? They have active imaginations. As I previously posted, they are obsessed with my dating life or what they believe my dating life should be like. Since I give them very nonspecific answers about my dating life, … Continue reading My Life- As Told By 10 Year Olds
I Am A Feminist, But Feminism Cannot Be Generalized
As thinking person with a conscience, I am fiercely feminist. I know and have seen the effects of women being marginalized and treated like objects.

Do These Stairs Go Up
In honor of a memory on Facebook (the day that the original quote and title of this blog was said), I'm reposting my blog about stupid things guests used to say to me when I worked in the hotel industry.

The Time I Might Have Dated a Murderer
Several years ago in my first stint in online dating, I met a man I’ll call Tom. He lived in a town roughly an hour away from me so we met halfway in between for a drink. Our first date was very awkward. He was a tech nerd and a nerd in every way. He … Continue reading The Time I Might Have Dated a Murderer
Polar Bears and Waterfalls
The other night I had the most incredible dream. I was walking on a very narrow and rocky path along the mountainside. I know there was someone else with me but I can’t remember who it was or if it was anyone I actually know. I was very scared along this path because I was … Continue reading Polar Bears and Waterfalls
