Are you sitting down? Because I’ve got some news. OK, maybe I’m building it up a little much. #guilty But guys, The SAT’s are changing. I know. High school me is legit wigging out on the inside. The essay — optional. Calculators — banned for parts of it. Vocabulary — less obscure and more “workplace-oriented”…whatever thatContinue reading The “Prove Yourself” Society
Coachella Culture
So if you didn’t know, the music festival, Coachella, was this weekend. I mean. Honestly, if I see another picture of a celebrity wearing a crochet croptop, ripped acid wash jean shorts, and a flower crown while frolicking barefoot in Southern California, I might vom. It’s Coachella. You’re an ironic “millennial flower child.” We get it. OK OK.Continue reading Coachella Culture

10 Things I’d Say to 15-Year-Old Me
You know what I love doing? Looking back at old pictures from middle school/early high school. I mean, the fashions, the hair styles, the flip phones, the boys I had crushes on. It is just a blast from the past. And let’s be real, it wasn’t thaaat long ago. But given every twist and turn my lifeContinue reading 10 Things I’d Say to 15-Year-Old Me
April Showers
Well here we are. April. We’ve officially made it through the doldrums of winter and are on the brink of spring. April in NYC is the rainy season. I mean, it is nothing glamorous. Gray, overcast and drizzly skies; murky puddles of sludge, and temperatures that can range from 70 degrees one day, to 35 the next.Continue reading April Showers
Dear Beyoncé,
So Beyonce did a thing. Yes, The Queen Bey unexpectedly dropped a video on us a couple days ago. But no, not for a song. Or a movie, or a music video. It was for an “athleisure” clothing line. Because, as you know, everybody and their brother is creating one. And, in true Beyonce fashion, sheContinue reading Dear Beyoncé,
Honesty Hour
I’m going to be honest with y’all. I’ve been feeling really restless in my heart recently. No, it’s not because we’re heading into the Final Four and my bracket is malarky. Not because I’m anxiously awaiting the new Backstreet Boys/NSYNC/98 Degrees movie that’s set to come out soon. ((Be still my preteen heart)) Not because the presidentialContinue reading Honesty Hour

Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Matt 27:46 What a week it’s been. I’m writing this on Tuesday night with a heavy heart after the terrorist attacks in Brussels today. There’s a somber tone to the world. One of despair. One of hurt. One of fear.

Et Tu, Beauty?
See what I did there? Et tu, Brute…Et tu, Beauty? *Air-fives self* 😛 OK, so yeah, the title has to do with Caesar…buuut, I kinda feel like it sets the mood for this piece. Because we’re going…latin. And not, Ricky-Martin-Livin-La-Vida-Loca-Latin, but dead-language, Roman-empire, biblical-times Latin. Et tu, Brute literally means, “You too, Brutus?” They were JuliusContinue reading Et Tu, Beauty?
