My online life and real life have been parallel for as long as I can remember. They were two streams that never met. Two roads that never intersected. But now, that time is over. My “secret” online life has been found for the most part and I am terrified. I am afraid of what this

I am currently at the place in life where the lines between childhood and adulthood begin to blur. No, I am not in my adolescence. I am in my 20s. I argue that this time is as equally confusing and possibly more confusing than adolescence. Being in my 20s means that I am no longer

Today is my one year anniversary of starting this new wordpress blog. I deleted my previous account because there were people following it that I wanted to avoid.

Dealing with change is the most difficult thing for me. I always fall back on the familiar. Old habits really do die hard. My entire academic career should have prepared me for this moment. Yet, I have never felt more unprepared or scared in my life. I was always ready for graduation. I looked forward to never

Life as a twenty something is even more complicated than it was in my teen years. I want to refer to this as “the limbo of the lost.” I am not saying that all twenty somethings are lost. I’m saying that I am lost. I have a bachelor’s degree in a subject that I love.

The digital era has left me feeling old before my time. I find myself nostalgic for a “simpler time.” This is ludicrous for someone who is only twenty two years old. As Drake said, “I’m really too young to be feeling this old.” I should not be craving the simplicity of my childhood simply because life is
