I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really like reality TV. It took me until Jojo’s season of The Bachelorette to get into that franchise, and I still only like it because it gives me something to talk to my coworkers about. I’ve never been able to get into Real Housewives, Survivor, Love […] More
While the rest of the world celebrated the coming of Jan. 1, 2020 by clinking champagne glasses and dancing the night away, I sat on my sofa alone, buried underneath layers of blankets, crying as the clock struck midnight (OK, it’s clear that I’m exaggerating here, but emotionally I felt that way).

The first season of Shrill (Hulu) made me feel seen in a way that I’m not used to. We don’t often see fat women who are happy in their bodies, or working to be happy in their bodies, because most media would have you believe that we’re miserably obsessing over calories and trying to lose […] More
I made a resolution at the beginning of last year to read at least one book a month. Through middle school and high school, I was the biggest fan of reading and usually went through multiple books a month, so I wanted to get back to my love of devouring a good book. I pretty […] More

One of my favorite lines in cinematic history is in Superbad when Becca says, “I’m so wet,” and Evan responds, “That is what they said would happen in health class.” It’s a pretty well-known fact that movies aren’t reality, but in this instance, the film completely understood the awkward and normal scenario of having sex […] More
I heard about the Enneagram from a friend. As soon as I took the Enneagram test, I sent it to all of my friends. I made them take the test, and then we all discussed each type, what the meant, if we were “compatible” — you know the drill. The Enneagram is cool and all, […] More
I lost my mother and grandmother a year apart from each other. Since 2017, grief has billowed into all areas of my life. It has filled the crevices between my lungs and latched onto my back for me to carry, altering the reality I knew and breathed for 29 years. Unfortunately, this road that’s paved […] More
