My Internet Friends Get Me

Social media ain't all bad.

My Internet Friends Get Me

There comes a point in our lives where we ask ourselves "are there any real people left in the world?" At 22 years old this was the exact question I asked myself and never in a million years did I think the answer to my question would lie in a social media app.

I know this might sound crazy, but stick with me okay? Almost three and a half years ago I joined Twitter. Yes I know, very basic of me but whatever. I joined because all of my friends were on and it was just another way to keep up with people from high school that you didn't really care about or stalk people you actually hate. Little did I know I would connect with strangers from around the world who share common interests with me and were there for me when the people at home weren't. There really is no better feeling than have support from someone, it just so happened to be at first I didn't really know these people.

Yeah yeah, I know what you are thinking and I completely understand because I thought I was crazy at first too but who really cares how you make a friend? All that matters is that they are true, right?

As I look back on the last 4 years I realize that I met some of the greatest, most supportive and loving woman in the world all because of a phone app. I have gotten the chance to meet tons of these girls in person and it is like we have known each other for years. I have met people who are going to be friends for a lifetime and that is the most amazing feeling in the world. These girls get me.

So thank you Twitter. Thank you for being a killer friend. Without you the world will be less, well, blue.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
