Don’t be cross with me
Before I start this, let it be known this blog post isn’t meant to offend anyone. These are my personal beliefs, and I’m not trying to convert or excommunicate anyone. Everything I’m writing here is based off of my personal experience. Remember that as you read. Here we go… I’m religious. Although I am not…

Home is where the atotement is
Over the course of five years, I have only had a handful of roommates. During this time, I have realized I possess a great deal of faults, so I decided to take it upon myself to issue a letter of apology to those I have so clearly hurt. First and foremost, I would like to…

New Girl in the City of Friends
I was raised on sitcoms. I couldn’t wait for TGIF every week. I still believe Boy Meets World is one of the best shows ever made. Alongside this ABC classic, there was another sitcom I never missed: Friends. Friends created this alternate reality I wanted to be a part of. I wanted to drink coffee…

Holy [Re]union
Last week, I innocently decided to check my Facebook notifications. At first, it seemed like the usual: game requests, likings of my brilliant and humble statuses, birthday reminders, etc. However, there was one particular notification that made my skin crawl; someone had added me to the group for my graduating class…from high school, but it…

Thank you for dealing with all of the countless hours of Barney, Timmy…

Fear the Norm
To say I knew Matt well would be an overstatement and to say I knew him really well would be an outright lie. We only hung out a handful of times, but he was one of those people who make a giant impact on your life during the brief time they’re here. I loved Matt…

Life of Baillee
I haven’t had a life of family vacations and white picket fences, and I’m totally okay with that. I’ve had a real life, one full of struggles and pain and tears alongside triumphs and wellness and laughter. I’m not going to go into detail about some things because I’m not the only member of my…

It Came from Austin, TX.
I’ve been watching horror movies for as long as I can remember. My mom and I used to spend Sundays with junk food and the horror movie marathons on SyFy, back when it was still SciFi. We never missed an episode of Buffy, Angel, or Charmed in the Perkins household. My brother-in-law and I bonded…
