Hangover...


No this isn't a post about one day when I woke and couldn't remember the night before nor about how hilariously funny the movie is...but about how I will miss two very important people in my life. Since my time in Michigan I have met a lot of people. And a few of them will be friends forever but these two amazing and dynamic women are something special. What I will miss most is moments like this sitting up eating Coconut shrimp and laughing at the nonsense that is The Hangover.


You see being a Michigan student it's very hard to not be surrounded around academics. There are not many opportunities in which we can sit and be people. And I love the two of them because I am able to just be me. They know everything there is to know about me and accept me. And I haven't really found that since the 4th grade!

But I say all of this to say that I will miss them so much when I'm all the way in VA! But I do believe that no matter what the distance I will always have Christina Carter and Brittney Williams in my life! Thanks for always being there for me ladies!

  1. I WILL MISS YOU TOO BESTIE!

    How ironic is it that we're watching The Hangover. Remember our pact? Hopefully I'll stick to my word and the three of us can create our own memories in Vegas (maybe not to that extreme...well possibly...)

    You are one of my FAVORITEST (Michigan difference word!) people here at U of M and you've definitely helped shape my college experience. It will not be hard to say goodbye because I know a) you'll be back or b) I'll still be balling on refund checks and I'll have enough to visit you. Love you B3!!!!

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...

You Passed

Remember when I said that I was going to be more diligent about posting and keeping everyone updated on what was happening? Yeah, I don't remember that either. As of September 5, 2017, I am officially a PhD Candidate. That means that I sufficiently convinced my three person committee (all women might I add) that I know what I'm talking about and am somehow capable of writing a dissertation. This a HUGE deal. Anyone who has gone through, started or completed any amount of work towards a doctorate knows just how stressful this portion of the program is. There are actually no words that will sufficiently explain how large this achievement is. *As you can tell, this post is LATE. And I do mean late. I've been a candidate for months now. Forgive me.* 

You're A Non-Mother F*cking Factor!

For those who don't get the reference in the title, let me introduce to you Evelyn Lozada!  I know 'reality television' is the farthest thing from reality but this is by far one of my favorite 'reality' TV moments. It summed up her thoughts and feelings so concisely . It was a perpetual mood that I aspired to for a long time. I know the next question any logical person would pose is, why? Why would this be a perpetual mood I wanted to attain? For years I have lived in my head, afraid of my own voice and sharing my thoughts and opinions. I envied those that could "pop off" and voice their voice. I wanted to be able to say what I needed to say, how I wanted to say it, and without remorse. As I've continued to grow, I have learned that this attitude is not what communication is about. Being able to dismiss everyone around you and say everything the way you want to say it is not effective.  "Cussing everyone out is not self care...
