if there is one thing that i hate more than anything about winter is how ugly it is. the fact that michiganders can go weeks without seeing the sun drives me absolutely bonkers. I NEED THE SUN (& yes, the pun in this title is, in fact, intentional). after scrolling through plane tickets for about 20 minutes before class, and…

one goal of this blog is to share my struggles. but, honestly, my struggles pale in comparison to some. many of you have had to overcome significantly bigger hurdles than the rest of us and i admire and am inspired by your unbelievable strength. just the other night, someone i love, very much, lost her dad. he was her best…

so…. i started dating, again. &, although i’m in college and thought my high school reputation was behind me, it’s clear that it’s still very much alive. just the other day i was asked about my sexual history. although i was very upfront about the fact that i’ve only been with with one person, i was asked if i was…

i have a love hate relationship with constructive criticism (mostly love). when i created this page, i fully expected to get roasted (like the cody ko/noel roast of mattysmokes or ajit pai). surprisingly, it has been mostly all love with a splash of hate here and there. i mean, who doesn’t get it? while it does sting a bit, i…

i recently asked you guys what your biggest insta turnoffs are, & then thought, does it really matter? i mean, we’re all turned off by different things. if your account makes you happy, isn’t that enough? then…i wondered, wouldn’t i want to know if i had (or didn’t have) something on my feed that was possibly keeping me from getting…

from using “inspirational” quotes for every caption, to layering on upwards of ten filters, to cropping my forehead out of all of my selfies, i’ve made plenty of mistakes when it comes to my insta. fortunately, i’ve learned a lot since my first insta post & have grown my accounts because of it. i’ve had countless people ask me how…

i really, really want to go to a festival in delaware this summer (yes, posty is a headliner). so, i bought a ticket without real plans. i wanted to make a vlog, so i started taking short videos (& i hope you like the finished product). this past summer i wanted to go to europe, so i started looking up…

have you ever been so completely in love with your life & the people in it? last night i went to detroit with my friends and i just couldn’t help but smile. my friends are amazing people. they want the best for me and i want the best for them. yet, this wasn’t always the case. i had the hardest…

i’ll never understand why we feel the need to knock what someone else likes, just because it’s not for us? i may think that something you dig is a bit strange, but I won’t make fun of you for it. instead, i’ll applaud you for bravely pursuing something you really care about. i know that my obsession with posty or…

“now they only say congratulations” -posty heart eyes it’s that time of year, again. seniors must suffer through the college decision process. & i feel their pain. some will get that early ‘congratulations’ from the school of their dreams, while others, like me, will have a long, grueling, nail-biting, anxiety-producing, roller coaster of an emotional ride to the finish line…
