October 17, 2017
Since my first day of kindergarten, I have endured bullying. In the beginning of the harassment, it was based entirely off my curly hair. Everyday a fellow student would come up to me and pull my hair or she would tell me how unpleasant my curls were. I thought this classmate would leave me alone after I we...

Rated 2.5/5 Emma Watson Belles Apparently Taco Bell is getting fancy on us, because they now serve Iced Vanilla Coffee. So now, I’m firing back at this multimillion dollar company (because they’ll definitely care) by upping the ante on my rating scale. Bye, bye, Disney Belle. It’s all about He...

The Kansas City Chiefs- the Ultimate Friend Zone

February 14, 2017
Everybody knows that guy. The guy that is so enamored with a girl that he can’t see past the fact that he’s got no shot to progress past “just being friends”. It’s the ultimate comfort zone. All nice and cozy, but in reality, it’s a trap. A trap that leads to false hope and heightened ex...
