Personal experiences and lessons learned from college and the years after
Bad Movie Night is the best thing ever. One day Edwin mentioned that while in the Army he and his friends, had a bad movie night once a week, which immediately sounded like something I wanted to do. So we planned it for Wednesdays and made it happen. We scoured Netflix for the worst rated… Continue reading Bad Movie Night
It is OK to switch majors. There is honestly no shame in switching majors and let me tell you why. The school paints this beautiful picture of fun, educational and super interesting classes. You think you are going to be in high school chem class, adding stuff together to make a reaction or change… Continue reading Switching Majors
An Anecdote 3 minute read I love the French language. I think it is so beautiful end elegant. In college, you are required to take a language class. Spanish has always been very difficult for me so when I saw the opportunity to try something different, I took it. French was very fun and it… Continue reading The Summer of French 1
5/9/17 This was my first day of my intermittent fasting (IF) . I stopped eating at 9pm on Monday night. I woke up around 6 am for work. I had to remind myself not to eat, since breakfast has always been a habit of mine. Since I was already awake and had an extra half… Continue reading (IF) WEEK ONE
Millennial debt. That's why. We aren't lazy. We aren't spoiled. We are broke and living in a cycle of poverty. All of the debt that we have accumulated, just from ages 18-22, is 'necessary'.

Day Type: Non Fasting I weighed myself today: 203 That's still a lot, but... I am SO happy right now. At the beginning of the month, I was 206. Three pounds in 3 weeks isn't huge, but its progress, about 1 pound a week, I have really struggled to get any weight off for months… Continue reading Wednesday, May 24th, 2017
My first job out of college was a 'temp to hire position', working for the city. (I won't mention the city). Temp positions don't always make you feel secure in the first place, but being fresh out of school added to that insecurity. It was like being a freshman again: I had to ask someone else… Continue reading Who else but the Tech-Savvy Millennial?
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. And even then, she barely wanted to read the entire assignment. I introduced her… Continue reading Ali and the Kindle
