  • A New Start

    The week is ending on a good note. A note that gives me a sense of optimism for the future. Lately, all I have been doing is complaining about my life and the way things went. I’ve been so caught up in my past that I haven’t given myself a chance to be caught up…

  • The Haunting of a Ghosting

    Congratulations! You’ve been talking to someone you thought was absolutely amazing and funny. You thought “this is it; they’re going to be my boyfriend/girlfriend!” You’re walking on cloud nine. Nothing could go wrong! That is until you wake up and realize that they blocked you and unadded you on all social media. It seemed almost…

  • The Friendship Breakup

    Just when you think “God, it can’t possibly get any worse!”, it somehow gets worse. As our generation says, literally fuck my life. This last week started on a good note. I had been hanging out with friends and putting in the work grind at the movie theater. The theater has still been busy because…

  • What Men and Women Want

    I’m not sure what happened at this moment. It was so sudden, so unexpected. It felt like weight finally being lifted off my shoulders. The heaviness in my heart disappeared like ashes between someone’s fingers. There I was tucked into bed, my head on my pillow, my blankets covering me as the ceiling fan’s air…

  • The Hot Tub and The 4th Of July

    This last week has been a busy one. On Monday, I was Trent’s plus-one to a party. Our co-worker, Anna, was celebrating her 18th-birthday and wanted to invite some friends. Though Trent and I feel sort of indifferent to her, she has a hot tub, and we couldn’t really pass that up. Besides, he and…

  • Unrequited (Love)?

    The other night, I was watching an Indian film called “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”, which discusses unrequited love, its meaning, and how to overcome it. I do not speak Hindi, nor am I even Indian. But for me, Bollywood movies and Korean dramas have always been top-tier. Anyway how, the movie really had me thinking.…

  • The Situation Of Situationships

    I’m convinced what ”situationships” are to Gen Z, are what ”fuck buddies” were to Millennials. As time goes on, I’ve noticed situationships are becoming more and more common. Especially, for our generation. What exactly defines a situationship though? How is it any different from a talking stage, or a regular relationship? We must break it…

  • Chips And A Taco Salad

    Juan left me in an abyss of sadness for what seemed like forever, and far too long despite us only being together for one month. From what I hear, he is currently in New York City with some of his guys. Juan and I have officially been split up for 6-weeks and kept no contact…

  • The Party Person Phenomenon

    What is the big deal behind partying anyway? What exactly is so appealing about getting plastered or high as hell at midnight in a room full of strangers? I wish I could say that I’m better than that, but I’m not. I’ve had my own fair share of partying, but not exactly at college. See,…
