I'm Back Yall!

Dear Yall, Tonight/ Today was a great and inspiring day. I was on my second day of apartment hunting and let’s just say it’s been a minute since I did this. I know the leasing agent was looking at me crazy when I asked do you apply online. Like duh everything is online now even apartment applications. But overall, it’s been good, and I feel rejuvenated to get my own place again. I felt like a…

Introverted While Being Quarantined

Ms. Corona got us stuck in the house. For some people, this is a real problem, but for us, introverts, this is the best thing that could have happened in 2020. I’m still mad that I am still going into work and pretty sure someone at work has the corona virus. On the other hand, at least I have a job, right. Plus, I am the youngest in the office so all the older people surely would pass it on to…

I'm Tired, Boss

I’m Tired, Boss

Literally, when people ask how I’m doing my usually answer is fine or alright. When I really want to say I don’t fucking know. I just feel like I’m stuck in this point of my life. I’m working just to work because you do have to pay bills, but it’s not satisfying. Plus, I still don’t know my passion or what I want to do for my career or the rest of my life so I’m just working until I figure it…

#GirlDad

It’s crazy that we lost one of our greats early in the new year. I first saw the news of Kobe Bryant and I thought it was a joke. Walked into the living room to tell my mom and she already had it on tv. I still did not want to believe that it was true. So, I waited to see what ESPN and the sports channels were going to say about it. Once I heard them go to the Pro Bowl and asked players about it,…

Attended a Bridal Expo, but I’m Single

Attended a Bridal Expo, but I’m Single

Yes, you read that correct. I recently attended a Bridal Expo and I’m not engaged, in a relationship nor taken. I’m single as a Kraft’s cheese. I always see the billboard advertisement of the Bridal Expo through the year and I always wanted to go to see what exactly people do at a Bridal Expo. If you attend a Bridal/Wedding Expo, then that means you are planning to have a wedding or recently…

I'm Done Procrastinating. Are you?

I’m Done Procrastinating. Are you?

I finally decided to stop procrastinating and start a podcast!!! I kept telling people that I was thinking of doing it, that I liked listening to my favorite podcasts, but they were sugar coating 30 to 40% of what they would say in real life. I’m like why not I do that (shrugging emoji). I don’t say much, but when I do people do tend to listen. I feel like I can be a voice to the quiet,…

Have You Been Ghosted Before?

Have You Been Ghosted Before?

Have you been ghosted before? You probably have and didn’t know it. I would say mostly that women do most of the ghosting, from what I hear (wink wink). Everyone has their own definitions of what ghosting means for them. From the Urban Dictionary, it says that ghosting is “when a person cuts off all communication with their friends or the person they’re dating, with zero warning or notice before…

Graduated, But Not Really

Graduated, But Not Really

Ever have that feeling that you are going through these battles for a reason? You may not know the reason during the battle. Eventually you’ll look back on the situation and realize it was just God preparing you for something greater. Before a victory, there’s always a storm, right? It’s how you function during the storm that will show if you are prepared or not.

I recently walked across the…

Boston Trip

This past weekend, I traveled to Boston, Massachusetts. The city of American history and home of the Celtics, who are leading in the 2nd playoff round. My reason for visiting Boston was to watch one of my favorite podcasts live, Desus & Mero, The Bodega Boys. Now I could have waiting for them to come down to Houston, but I was like “Why not visit a city you never been before?” So, Boston it was,…

Should Universities Offer Gun Certification Classes?

Should Universities Offer Gun Certification Classes?

It has been one year since state representatives allowed concealed carry of handguns on college campuses. Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 11 that allows students or any university affiliate to carry guns if they are licensed to carry. This bill caused controversy among university officials and communities which took place last August in 2016 for Texas universities. With 307 mass…
