Graduate School is Becoming a Headache
One of the scariest, and probably dumbest, thing that I have done was apply to the Savannah College of Art and Design. I have dreamt about going to Savannah since I was in architecture school. Let me put it this way, SCAD to me is Columbia University to an English major. Anyway, I have to submit a portfolio. This is where I have a problem. The only portfolio that I have is the one that I made...

Never Knew I was Back in High School
There has been so much drama in the past couple weeks at the restaurant that it makes me feel like I am back in high school. I was told today that I am a fat bitch who does nothing but eat all the time. Not to mention, the person who said this is apparently going to out lard in my food since I am a fat ass. I can take a lot but this is a bit much. I know that I am big person but guess what, I...
Day Family Fourth of July
The Fourth of July is a time for cook outs, family and drama in my household and this past weekend, it wasn’t any different. At a cook out held at the oldest living member of the Day family’s house, I was talking to my cousin’s wife, from the Auburn area of Alabama, said to me “we just found out about [Redacted] being in prison.”. I had no idea what she was talking...

Giving Up
I am officially giving up. I need a change of pace and scenery. I am in desperate need to erase you from my memory. But if I learned anything from the Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, I will one day appreciate the memory of you. It’s been over a month and I feel hopeless because I fear that you have ruined me for everyone that comes after you. How will any man live up to what you...

I am more than a little disappointed that I didn’t hear from you yesterday. I was expecting some sort of communication from you whether it be a text or message on facebook. Instead, I got nothing from you. I don’t know what is going on with you but this did prove to me that whatever we had, or could have had, can never be. Let’s chalk it up to the wrong time and place for us....
Does It Get Easier?
I would give anything to hear your voice at this minute. I miss the sound of your laugh, the way you smelled as you lay next to me and the way you scrunch your face when you give that silly smile. I know that you “sold your soul” to help out the people in Tuscaloosa after the storm even though you think it’s the armpit of Alabama.
I want to be the person that you call...

Thank you, Baby Jesus
About a month ago, I started working for a non-profit organization that specializes in historic preservation and in revitalizing economically impoverished neighborhoods and communities. I started there as an intern for my “United States Public History” course at Salem. In just a month, I have learned more about history than my entire college career and believe me, it’s been...
Dear Whoever is Up There,
Why must you do this to me? Why is it that you see pleasure in my confusion and my pain? I am starting to think you are using me in a sick game that leaves me hopeless and angry. In the past two weeks, you have let two great guys, okay maybe one of them isn’t that great but whatever, and now I am having to tell myself every day not to let myself believe that at least one of them is...
Lindsay: (about a Catholic hottie) Oh baby, take me in a confessional.
Me: God almighty.
Lindsay: Pun intended.
Dear Whoever is up there,
Thank you for the things that you are blessing me with right now. For once, my life is going the way I want. I have an internship that is amazing, a job that is once again making me money, I am graduating in 2 months, and I am on track to losing my weight the right way. Please, please, please don’t let it stop this time. Thanks again for everything.

Dear Single Mother from Work,
I am sorry that you had a baby at the age of 25 and the baby’s daddy is an illegal who got shipped back to Mexico but I don’t feel as though I should be punished, or have to pick up your slack, because you have a babysitter at night. I am sick and tired of you using that damn baby to get more money out of people and to convince our owners to let you go early because they feel sorry...
The last time I was this scared, I thought I had cancer. I really shouldn’t have looked up what it meant. I am going to be an emotional wreck for the next few days. I apologize in advance.

Maybe, There is Hope.
Let me start by saying that Four Loko is a horrible idea. Stay away from Fruit Punch, try the Raspberry Lemonade, and love the Watermelon (it tastes like a watermelon Jolly Rancher).
Anyway, I went to a friends house to hang out last night and after a round of Kings (card game also known as Circle of Death, all the college kids will know it), we found ourselves in the midst of political...
