Resolutions Worth Following
New Year's is one of my favorite holidays, and has been since before drinking champagne was an option. It comes with a sense of cleansing - this idea that whatever happened last year does not matter, for in ten seconds it'll all be behind us and we will embrace a fresh-faced year that we pledge… Continue reading Resolutions Worth Following
It came without ribbons
The holidays haven't been easy for me in a long time. Since I was fourteen, Christmas day has been accompanied by a sense of emptiness, this nagging feeling that I should be happy, but I just can't be. I know that I have a wonderful family that provides me with anything I could want. I know that I… Continue reading It came without ribbons
Closer to Fine
Hey guys. I know, I know, it’s been a while. In case you missed it, I’m taking a little break from my blog to really focus on my articles for the Tab. Anyways, here I am. Most of the time, words come to me easily. I've been writing my feelings since I was about eight.… Continue reading Closer to Fine
You Do You
Hey guys. I know, I know, it's been a while. In case you missed it, I'm taking a little break from my blog to really focus on my articles for the Tab (which, by the way, has been a really great experience.

Sorority girls are superficial. Sorority girls are arrogant. Sorority girls are promiscuous. Sorority girls are bitchy. Sorority girls are dumb. Sorority girls are partiers. Sorority girls are slackers. Sorority girls are not the women that we would want our daughters to grow up to be. This is what our television, our websites, and sometimes even our… Continue reading Sorority Girls

Whoa. The year is almost over. In two weeks, I'll no longer be a baby Tar Heel. I'll be an upcoming sophomore with a lease on an apartment and a cancelled meal plan and only one introductory-level course to speak of in her schedule. Honestly, I didn't really foresee this week coming so quickly. I'm pretty… Continue reading Sakai, Supdogs, and Self-Worth: What I Learned my Freshman Year at UNC
A Union Hand in Hand – Why I Chose to go Greek, and Why I Went Alpha Phi
Guess who's back, back again? I know I posted yesterday, but there was just one more thing on that three-week bucket list extravaganza I failed to mention. If you had told me when I was fourteen that I was going to be a sorority girl one day, I might have laughed in your face. Me,… Continue reading A Union Hand in Hand – Why I Chose to go Greek, and Why I Went Alpha Phi
The Weird One
This is my third weekend at home, and I'm still feeling reflective. This is the most I've ever been at home consecutively since starting school, and I have to admit, some of the charm is wearing off. That isn't due to anything in particular, however. I guess if it was attributed to anything, it would… Continue reading The Weird One
Homegrown
Let me start this out on a note that may not shock people, but may upset some - when I was in high school, I hated my hometown. I'm serious. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I thought that everyone was backwoods and that the rural stretches were boring and that the only thing I… Continue reading Homegrown
