Flagstaff

Sometimes a get away is all you need

Flagstaff

Flagstaff. The city where I fell in love with you all over again. Its like the second we hit the higher altitude all the ill feelings went away. I instantly forgot about the screaming match we had a few days prior. I forgot about the bags packed and the one more "last time of us falling asleep with one another". I forgot about the ring you threw at me and the key to the apartment being left on the kitchen table. I forgot about all the nights that I fell asleep crying asking myself why I wasn't good enough. See the thing is all this forgetting can either be a good thing or it could come back to me and bite me in the ass. I am hoping its a good thing.


Flagstaff allowed us to fall for each other all over again. We shared kisses, you held me close to you at night in that hotel bed. You made me feel loved. It was like the "honeymoon" stage of dating all over again. We talked, we laughed until we cried, we reminisced on old times, and we just enjoyed being with one another.

Our trip was nothing short of amazing. We shopped, we went to this gorgeous brewery, we drank, and we spent the day downtown. It was nice. I was scared to leave though, scared that once we returned home things would go back to the way they were before our trip. I was scared the fights would start again, and scared that you would pack your bags for good. To my surprise things have stayed the same as if we were still in Flagstaff. Its only been a week but I am still happy. I think Flagstaff was good for us. I think it strengthened our relationship. I think it showed us what we had and we both can agree that its something we don't want to lose.

So thank you Flagstaff, for showing us what our love really means.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
