Prince Charming

Early on in college my friend diagnosed me with fairy tale syndrome. Sure she was right. I had high expectations and believed when a guy came along, it’d be a great story. He might be in one of my classes and one of us asked the other out on an actual date. It’d be an intimate feeling restaurantContinue reading “Prince Charming”

Party of One

Welcome to junior year – party of one! If I’ve learned anything these last two years, it’s that I’m on a journey and I’m alone in it. Not in a depressing way but as a warrior trying to find his way. Friendships have come and gone and are in the hospital. Work skyrocketed in constantlyContinue reading “Party of One”

Crushes Past Part Two – Stood Up, Hook Up and Vulnerable

Part Two picks up from my post on freshman year crushes. You can read it here: Crushes Past Part One ———- Sophomore year began feeling like being so close to the peak of this college mountain. I didn’t expect all the old faces turning into crushes. I really expected it to be a year withContinue reading “Crushes Past Part Two – Stood Up, Hook Up and Vulnerable”

Crushes Past Part One – Hugs, Friends and WHAT?

In the last two years, there is nothing like that pause I’ve experienced between asking a guy out and their answer. But what makes that pause horrible is when as soon as the words come out of my mouth or that text has been sent, I can feel the rejection coming like a train emergingContinue reading “Crushes Past Part One – Hugs, Friends and WHAT?”

“It’s Just Chicken”

In the Tallahassee, and more specifically Florida State University area, the Chik-fil-a debate has been ongoing for the last year with protest of allowing this establishment on campus. While I do think this is a complicated matter, what boils my blood is hearing from people “It’s just chicken” or “It’s delicious so what does it matter.”Continue reading ““It’s Just Chicken””

My Lips Were Shaking

A year ago I was definitely in my end of freshman year mentality. I didn’t see myself as cute. I didn’t understand the public relations world well and I was lost in certain ways. I didn’t even make it to the Live with Kelly semi-finalist level and it hurt. No matter how farfetched something is,Continue reading “My Lips Were Shaking”

Three Doors

I feel like I was standing in a room representing my future. There were three doors each representing progress with someone. Guys, or well men for all intents and purposes, stand behind them all. Behind the first was the ever so popular one from my post “He Has a Crush on You.” I could pull openContinue reading “Three Doors”

Miss Advised;)

Miss Advised is one of my newest summer obsessions. Just when I didn’t know how I was going to fill my weekday show slots with most of my favorites being on vacation, these three ladies come into my life.  I sit watching it while Facebook chatting my friend about her crush problems. I feel reassuredContinue reading “Miss Advised;)”

Man-in-Progress

No one as a child or when you leave home from college ever trains you on how to deal with changes in your life. No one ever tells you that when you make progress people will dislike you for things out of your control – that when you hold people to certain standards, you willContinue reading “Man-in-Progress”

Save Me

I don’t want to be hurt. I really don’t want to be hurt. I know no one wants to be hurt, but I really don’t want to give a guy the power to hurt me. I don’t want anyone to hurt me. It’s taken me too long to make it to this point and I don’t wantContinue reading “Save Me”
