A Month of Lady Parts
We can’t experience comedy without knowing tragedy. As I watch the moments of my life on a monitor, I feel all the emotions again. I can feel the sadness, the anger, the humor, the tenderness, or dare I say the phantom limb of my vagina. For the first time, I’m truly processing all of these…

For Those Who Called Me Crazy…Well, I’m Still Crazy
Hello friends and family! I am sorry it has taken me so long to crank out another blog post, but as per usual life has been hectic the past couple months. The last I had written on here, I was on a family vacation to Jamaica, but now I find myself trying to keep up…

Jamaica (All Roads Lead to a Gift Shop)
It has been a bit since my last post, but I wanted to share some stories from my latest journey to Jamaica with my family. We spent 7 days in the Runaway Bay area. To get the all-inclusive deal (flights included in the price) we had to pick one city to depart from and of…

The Quarter Life Crisis
As with any birthday over 21 years old, there is less to look forward to and more responsibility and pressures added on about what that age signifies in our life. I usually get the same question from friends and family: When you were younger, what did you think you would be doing at your age…

Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka…oh deer!

Hiking Mount Fuji in Running Shoes
After Tokyo we headed to Mount Fuji. We had booked a hostel in a town nearby to the base of the mountain, but had nothing planned for the next two days accommodation wise. We also learned that there is no easy way to get from Tokyo to Mount Fuji. I thought there might be a…

I Did Not See Russia From My Window
As you may be able to tell from my photos, I just got back from a vacation in Alaska. I traveled there with a friend from study abroad to stay with another friend from study abroad and have a mini reunion in the final frontier. To answer some quick questions, I know you are all…

The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about tacos.
I don’t know why we take so much time to reflect during milestones, but here I am sitting at my new favorite coffee shop in Noho trying to decipher the last year I lived. Exactly two years ago, I had surgery and was unable to walk for 6 weeks. Fast forward to one year ago…

Today I Deflated My Air Mattress (this is also a Patriots joke)
Sorry for not writing any blog posts in the past couple months. I have been a tad busy, starting a new full time job, continuing night classes and trying to maintain everyday life things such as eating and showering. To start, let me give some updates. First of all, I started a new job in…

Yes I Only Have $2.00 Today
I realize I have been slacking on my blog posts, but I have just been so busy the past weeks. So, here goes the next one: This past week while eating lunch outside at Sony, I left my purse on a chair. I did not realize I had left my purse there until an hour…
