Nobody puts baillee in the corner

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…

There has been something weighing on my heart lately, and I can no longer ignore it. As a recent college grad, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving numerous phone calls and offers from student loan “forgiveness” agencies. I feel like it is time someone took the time to let the world know about them, therefore…

Thank you for dealing with a 22 hour labor because I was a born procrastinator. Thank you for letting understanding my hatred of pants from a young age and letting me run around naked, with the exception of my baby Chuck Taylors. Thank you for dealing with all of the countless hours of Barney, Timmy…

My first group of residents is graduating, so I feel old enough to be put in the home. After today, I will no longer be your old RA. I am now your peer, your equal, and also, your guide to some adulthood basics. I have comprised a list of all of the little things I…

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…

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…

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…

I’ve been turned down a lot over the years. In fact, I’ve been turned down more than I haven’t, but I’m still not afraid to make a move. Yeah, it sucks, and it results in me spending 48 hours curled up in bed watching the “Casino Night” and “Niagara” episodes of The Office and A…

When I wrote my first blog post, I made a commitment to be honest. I wanted to give people a raw and honest glimpse into my life, and so far, I have, but I struggled with whether or not to write about this topic. After talking to a couple of my confidants, there was a…

So I used to drink…a lot. My Animal House tenacity was almost unrivaled. I’ve take straight shots of moonshine. I once drank over a fourth of a bottle of Smirnoff in less than an hour. I’ve gotten so hammered off Fireball I legitimately rambled about how much hotter Adam DeVine was than Skylar Astin in…
