Hey professors…..yea I’m talking to you!

This is probably going to be the least read entry on here, but dammit, I’m gunna write it anyway! I hate page requirements on papers yeah, I said it. I hate them with every fiber of my being. Unless you haven’t been able to tell from my previous posts, I am a very straightforward, cut to the chase kind of woman. Ask me a question, and you will get an answer, just don’t expect some long drawn out thing. Think of me as the female version of Anthony bourdain…..with better hair. Which somehow leads me to my rant.

I am… Continue Reading

So What is it That You do in School…?

What has happened to the days when everything you learned in school was useful? I mean, I’m not crazy right? Wasn’t there a time when our teachers constantly harped on us that everything we learned in school was useful? Well, apparently those days are gone.

The end of this week brings to close my second week of classes at my college. However, I am starting to feel more than slightly angry.

Sam passed away in my arms before I could make it out of the parking lot… Continue Reading

Think twice about handing that Twilight book to a little girl please!

Twilight scares me….no really, I am twenty five years old and scared of Edward Cullen. Why you might, ask am I afraid? I am afraid that after getting sucked into the fad that was/is Twilight, that I will unconsciously seek out and end up with some douche like Edward.

Now, fear not my young readers who may feel that I have just blasphemized against the almighty eighty-year-old sex idol, I (sadly) love Edward. In fact, I own all of the Twilight books, I read them all in about 3 days, once I finished the first one, I drove directly to… Continue Reading

Parents: Don’t Give Your Child Too Much Self-Esteem

“…. You can do anything you put your mind to.” “If you want it bad enough, that is all that matters”.  It is statements like these that parents are told to tell their children, and statements like these that parents need to stop saying to their children.

During the 1960’s and 1970’s, a movement in parenting happened. All of a sudden the idea of promoting self-esteem to your child became “the thing”, and it has been with us ever since. The problem is however, we now are seeing generations of kids who are stubborn and want to think that they… Continue Reading
