Personal experiences and lessons learned from college and the years after
I am black. I do not have any -chemicals in my hair to keep it straight. I have been ‘natural’ my entire life, So, when I straighten my hair, it is a long, tedious and very hot process. I wash and blow dry my hair in small sections, which means the 1875 Watt blow… Continue reading Straightening My Hair
2 minute read My best friend Ali absolutely hated reading when we first met. Now, she can hardly put down her phones’ kindle app. She initially though that reading was unnecessary and should only be done when its required for school.

Where books are sometimes… Continue reading Paying for my first homework ‘Access Code’
3 Minute Read/ Controversial Topic Let's make something clear... I have absolutely nothing against College Greek life/sororities/fraternities. I appreciate all of the volunteer work that many of the Greek organizations are involved in. Personally, I don't see the appeal of the rest of it. Let me take you back to the 'club rush' week of college.… Continue reading Why I Didn’t Join a Sorority
Meeting my roommates was fun, despite the fact that one of them, Ali, didn't like me because I was too happy (which I found out later of course. We are still best friends to this day though). Highlights of the event was: My dad making fun of Ali's feet to the point that… Continue reading Day 1: Miscommunication
