It’s my first official day of college. I sit at my desk in my dorm room working on a Spanish assignment. Distractedly, I fiddle with my pencil.

Besides, it’s my first day of college. I should go do something fun. I… Read more »

Eventually, the DJ called for a couples skate, and my mom and I started skating around the rink holding hands…. Read more »

Contently single. Isn’t that some sort of oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp or a deafening silence? The two concepts just can’t fit together…. one can’t possibly be content and single. It seems to me that every girl taught from a very young age that happily ever after only happens when the princess and the prince find each other, have true love’s kiss, and get married. After all, doesn’t every girl dream of her handsome prince from the time she can tie her shoes?… Read more »
