Over five years ago, I wrote a short guide to moving in with your significant other. While I stand by most of the advice in that previous post, I figured it was time for an update and a bit of an overhaul since I have way more experience in terms of living with roommates… Continue reading How to Move-In and Live Together REDUX
With what little time The Captain has at home we try to spend it wisely. Half of it is devoted to getting him ready for the upcoming week of work, but the other half is split between adventures, relaxation, and wedding planning. Just a day after he got home from work, M and I forced… Continue reading Let’s Go to the Mall: A Day at Arden Fair
Honestly, I thought my summer was going to be very different. I imagined days spent writing and enriching my mind, studying for the GRE, going on various adventures, and nights enjoying the company of The Captain and M. I imagined brief vacations to nearby places, hiking through the mountains, getting healthy, and time to settle… Continue reading Home Sweet Interlude
Moving is exhausting. Really there is no better word to describe the bone-gnawing, muscle-aching pain that comes with going through everything you own, packing it up, putting it somewhere else, moving into a new place, and putting all that stuff away in an organized fashion. The Captain and I just did it for ourselves and… Continue reading Moving On: Three Moves in Three Weeks
Technically speaking it’s been a year and two months since I moved out of my parent’s house and in with The Captain, B, and a spinning door of roommates. A lot of things were hard to deal with at first, but now they seem as easy as breathing. I’ve discovered a lot about myself in… Continue reading Home Alone: A Year on My Own

It allows a person to space themselves physically, emotionally, and mentally from any problems or issues they’re having in the relationship and recharge, recalibrate, and rethink the situation. I’m pretty sure it’s one… Continue reading The Importance of Being Separate
If there’s anything I’ve learned in the year since I moved out of my parent’s it’s that being an adult is not the glamorous fun of make-believe days. You don’t get to study at school, eat out, party every weekend, and have amazing adventures all the time. In fact, being an adult is full… Continue reading Adulting is Hard
It’s been a bit since I last wrote, and I’ve found it hard to come back to blogging when the world around me keeps going on and being unplanned. You know, life basically. It seems that I experienced my own series of unfortunate events shortly after my last entry and since then I’ve had some… Continue reading How to Get Back in the Swing of Things
If you have a roommate that’s causing you trouble, everyone you talk to about it will probably say that bad roommates are just a part of life, and it’s kind of true. There are good people in the world and there are bad people and there are shades of gray, and the same applies… Continue reading How to Survive a Less-than-Stellar Roommate
I believe that many things in life can have an expiration date. Obviously, there’s food—an important type of thing to pay attention to since no one I know likes drinking curdled milk. And there’s make-up, which a lot of people (myself included) either forget about or ignore. But a lot of different things… Continue reading Expiration Dates: The Good, The Bad, & The YOLO
