Reblogged from Thought Catalog: Guys, I think I have a new personal hero. This week, Jada Pinkett-Smith sounded off at critics who were upset that she would “let” her daughter, Willow Smith, buzz her hair — despite long locks being a signature of Willow’s style. (All the better to whip back and forth.) Because the […]
I’m probably the biggest chicken I know. I still love Halloween though. For me, Halloween is a celebration of autumn. Changing leaves, apples, pumpkins, sweaters, and cold weather are some of my favorite things. Halloween marks the beginning of the holiday season. And everyone knows holidays are magical. But this post isn’t about Thanksgiving or […]
Reblogged from Warren Towers: Written by Jill Ferraro To those of you who say your vote doesn’t matter, I say you’re wrong. I understand the mindset behind this thinking. Rarely, if ever, does one vote decide an election (really, the only exception I can think of is that cheesy comedy starring Kevin Costner). But your […]
Sitting in Copley Square last week eating my lunch, I heard the following words over the Nicki Minaj blaring in my ears: “Excuse me, miss. Sorry to bother you but, uh, do you have a dollar?” I looked up to see a middle-aged man standing about 4 feet in front of me. I took my […]

Reblogged from Thought Catalog: Representative Todd Akin (R) of Missouri claims to have “misspoke” (his word, not mine) while being interviewed on a St. Louis news show Sunday morning when he answered the following question: JACO: Okay, so if an abortion could be considered in the case of a tubal pregnancy or something like that, […]
I must admit, the majority of the time I’m on Pinterest I am trying to procrastinate. I either don’t want to go to work, write an essay, go to the gym, make my bed…pretty much anything I don’t want to do can cause me to get off of Facebook and onto Pinterest. Once […]
The following question is one I’ve been struggling with quite a bit lately: Can we run the world on love? At first glance, it seems like a ridiculous question. Running the world on love just doesn’t seem practical when you first think about it but I think it becomes much less crazy sounding if you […]
This post is sparked by today’s Coffee and Convo about what it means to be an adult. I had to leave before I could speak, so I’m going to summarize my idea on that first: -What are adults? I think my working definition for the word “adult” is: An older human being who has a […]
Slowing down is not something I do very easily. I talk fast, walk fast, eat fast, and I think even faster. If I’m not doing something, I think up some strange task to be doing. Sitting still is not one of my strong suits. Even as I write this blog post, I am making a […]
