So, I Changed My Pen Name

I can explain — I made mistakes in the beginning. I thought if I told family and friends from Day 1 about my writing, they’d be all for it. I thought I’d be writing forever and not need to worry about looking for a job because I’d get successful quickly. …

Blowing Up My Instagram Won’t Make Me Want To Talk To You

Leave me alone and let me sleep — Imagine it’s 5 A.M., and you’re sound asleep. (If you work graveyard, think of a 5 A.M. equivelant.) You’re dreaming of things, and the dream’s pleasant. This sleep is the best sleep of your life. And then some beeping wakes you up. Is it your alarm? No. Is it someone…

Six Changes I Noticed After Six Weeks At The Gym

Bonus: They have nothing to do with weight — Another day, another thing I’m doing to survive my Grad School program. The stress of student teaching and online learning drove me to join a gym, and I’ve gone almost every week. On a normal week, I’m at the gym for four days, and I have three days of “active…

I Might Get Fired From The Amazon Affiliate Program

Three months in my six month trial period, and I haven’t made a dime. Why I’m not worrying about it — I should be getting worried. Grad School is expensive, especially if I don’t have a teaching job after I finish it. Textbooks aren’t cheap, and if my car takes a shit, I’m screwed. With all this pressure, I should be worried about not doing so hot with the Amazon affiliate…

I Officially Converted To Ashwagandha Fangirlism

How a rough day got me here — Back in August, my health insurance scheduled an appointment with a doctor via video call. It’s a free service it offers, and I get a $50 gift card as an incentive. We talked about basic things, and then I told her about some of the anxiety I feel and about…

The Best Books I Read In August

Including text books until I’m done with Grad School — A new school year is here at last! It’s my first one as a teacher in the West, and I’m pumped! In between planning and studying, I’m still looking for time to read. This past month, I saved $27 from using my local library. I read four books, but that’s…

The Barbie Movie Gave Me A New Appreciation For The Doll

She’s more of an icon than I realized — I’ll admit; I didn’t like Barbie when I was younger. Sure, I played with her when I was around other girls, but I ripped off their heads and buried them when I was alone. (What? I discovered death at an early age. Weirdly enough, decapitations freak me out now.) As…

The Best Books I Read In July 2023

Textbooks included — Grad school is turning out like I expected it would. I’m busy all the time but somehow finding time to read. I’m not in the library as much anymore. But you know what? I’m still finding wonderful books to read. You wouldn’t think it, but the textbooks I’ve had to…

Is The Story Of Arthur Truluv By Elizabeth Berg A Frederick Backman Copycat?

We’re talking about the book club pick for June — For wanting to make a series about the books my library picks for Book Club, I’m doing a shit job going to Book Club. You guessed it, I didn’t go again. I’m in a musical this summer, and Thursday nights are rehearsal nights. But May’s Book Club gave me an…

A Special Announcement For The Expat Chronicles

Hello everyone, First, I want to apologize to many of you. Many have commented that they want to be writers, and I haven’t replied to anyone. There’s a reason for that. I’ve had things come up in life. I started Grad School this week to be a teacher. I needed…
