When we make decisions and are even considering options, people will always try to make us feel bad about what we want. This includes the people we care about most, along with people we don’t know so well. We’re judged for how we let certain things play out and for how we want them to.Continue reading “#Unapologetic”

Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen
Over the past week I hung out with PR mentees through FPRA. Talking with them reminds me of my PR mentor through FPRA and the times we had. One day when I was a freshman she shared the “Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen” song with me. Now I share it with you all. Add aContinue reading “Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen”
Remaining Untainted
Friends’ relationships most of the time feel like our relationships. “You met someone! Let me see ‘em on Facebook!” “Did you text him first or did he text you?” “What happened when you saw her out?” “AHH have you really been together this long!” We want our friends to be in happy, healthy, and funContinue reading “Remaining Untainted”
The Caterpillar
Welcome to spring semester and the new year. It’s time to look around those classrooms for cuties; elevate our careers to the next level; meet teachers; and catch up with old friends. I’m not the best at balancing all friends throughout the semester, but I’ve made the effort in the few days before classes toContinue reading “The Caterpillar”

I Haven’t Seen You Since Graduation. . .
This winter break in Pensacola I have had the privilege of seeing many of the people I graduated with and never talk to at a mini reunion party. At first I felt awkward about hanging out with so many people I never deeply talked to or hung out with but as the familiar faces rolledContinue reading “I Haven’t Seen You Since Graduation. . .”
Compromising and Compromising?
We consider ourselves to be independent beings. Post job: “I’m fine. Now I’m able to hang out with y’all more” Perpetually single: “I have so much free time and it’s great! I get to do what I want to do. I’m able to sit in my bed and get crumbs everywhere.” However, the hope ofContinue reading “Compromising and Compromising?”
What We Deserve
Every school break I go home to what feels like some of the same family drama. One person has says something to annoy another, my little brother and sister of course fighting with each other and me starting out this trip home by knowing exactly how many days and hours this ordeal could last. WhatContinue reading “What We Deserve”
Into the Black
As I organized the traditional Steak n Shake get together with my old theatre friends, I started to realize we truly began our new adult lives. Soon we won’t be coming back to Pensacola for school breaks and the holidays won’t be an exception to that. Eventually we may be reduced to seeing each other once a year if lucky.Continue reading “Into the Black”
“Can’t Feel Ashamed”
I have an admission to make. But not an admission, because admissions sound like I did something wrong. I waited until this school year to get my license. I was a 20-year-old without a license. Not to say I couldn’t drive at all, but I still had that beginner’s fear every time I got in the car. PlusContinue reading ““Can’t Feel Ashamed””
