i am. never saying never
have you ever stuffed your face with cake, felt like trash and promised yourself you would never eat junk again? or drank to oblivion and claimed that you would never drink again? let’s be real, what usually ends up happening? we eat that cake, again, and continue to drink. if ive learned anything from justin bieber, it would be to…

i am. starting a conversation
clearly, i love social media, but it appears to be making us more and more polarized and unwilling to listen to the other’s perspective, or just not see it at all. a friend of mine (liberal) wanted to get others’ views on various topics so she would match with who she believed to be conservative boys on tinder to hear…

i am. busting some myths
earlier, i was scrolling through my insta feed and saw a guy’s post of a brain that was supposed to represent a woman’s thoughts. it was surprising (funny, really) how wrong it was and how much it represented the stereotypical view of women as depicted by such characters as regina george (brain full of shoes, impulsive shopping and gold digging)…

i am. a beach
no, i don’t mean a replacement for b*tch. i really do mean beach. recently, like a beach, i’ve gotten walked all over. (i know, this was lame. i’m kinda sorry). so i decided that i am going to write an open letter to two of the people who recently scammed me and give them a piece of my mind. (do…

i am. going alone
have you ever really wanted to do something, but didn’t because you couldn’t find anyone to do it with? i remember last year i really wanted to do a northwest coast road trip, but didn’t have a soul to do it with. & trust me, i get it, not everyone is willing to spend three weeks driving around the country…

i am. observing
there isn’t a single day at umich that i don’t witness something unusual. some are unique to michigan, while others can be seen on other college campuses. i thought it might be fun to share some of my observations with you… so here they are:1.coffee shops in AA are as pretentious as anywhere else. like, we get it, you can…
