After I left Indiana University and failed epically at Ivy Tech, I didn’t think I’d ever try school again. What exactly was I missing? Besides the gross dorms, the nightly ramen and outstanding debt, not much. I figured I would eventually get interested in a new major and go back to IU, but then months... Continue Reading →
Bag Lady…
I never knew how expensive a U-Haul could get. Like, why the fuck charge me so much just to drive this raggedy truck full of my own shit? $19.95 should be the flat rate, I mean, c'mon, it's on the side of the truck...but I'll save that rant for later. I have entirely too much... Continue Reading →

(Side note: I first learned about the concealed mistreatment of immigrant families at the border from someone’s retweet of an article on Twitter. Being a faithful... Continue Reading →
Hitting The Road And Actually Adulting
One of the scariest things for a 20 something to endure is the process of moving out and keeping themselves alive on their own. It’s the most bitter-sweet experience in your 20s; half of you is like “Aww yeahhh, what curfew?? What legal drinking age?? (I didn’t say that, you didn’t hear that from me)... Continue Reading →
” To Help Others, you must first help yourself”…. (-Confucius?)
It sounds like the type of zen thing Confucius would say, right? The point is, it's the truest shit I've ever heard.
