This is a mans world. Is it? Really?

I LOVE SPORTS!! More specifically Football and Basketball! But love all the same! When I say I mean love!! I'm not watching just to see men in tight pants or how good someone looks today! Granted I'm a female and at times this does happen but I honestly have a love for the game!

My goal is to work in college football and depending on how ambitious I'm feeling potentially coach college football! I love it that much. I'm not able to describe the natural high I get from watching it on television, or being on the field, or just even talking about it! It feels so natural! I can't imagine doing anything else with the rest of my life! Needless to say it drives me BONKERS to hear guys degrade women as if they have no idea what they're talking about! Really though? It's that hard for you to believe that during the fall, on every Saturday morning in high school I woke up early to watch ESPN (because if you didn't know College Day was on) only then to pick a spot on the couch and watch every single game that came on that day! Can you not fathom that I actually know all the positions! Really though? That's how we're playing! I just want to be taken seriously! I would like my opinion to be heard when discussion about the NBA playoffs are taking place. Or to be heard when discussion about Rich Rod happen (i.e. I have never doubted that he was a great coach but I knew his style and the timing were not right for MI. Want to know more just ask me.)

I know have a "girly" persona! I like to look and smell nice! I wear Big earrings and get manicures and pedicures! My hair is always done and my eyebrows are usually arched! But this does not mean that I am illiterate when it comes to the world of sports. And if there's something I don't know I can always just call up my padre who happens to be a record holding line backer from U of M, who played with the Bengals and happened to start in his rookie season! So trust me I have a solid foundation! I bet a few of you young lads wish you could boast that!

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...
