Sometimes I prop up my scarf and pencils to look like Sigmund Freud and I ask him: what would you do?

9 o’clock, bro! The other 9 o’clock. Get me with my cool friends, bro! Get me with my Hennessy-infused black water. Get me with my Hilary Duff CD, bro. Take a picture of me ripping out page 367 from my bio textbook and shooting it into the compost bin. Get me hugging the librarian. We have brunch sometimes. Hey, if you really want something good for your visual podcast or whatever you need to get a shot of me Naruto-running through the young adult section OK?

You know what–look, I took photography in high school and I can tell you from personal experience: if you just tilt your cam down by like a 10 degree notch I think you’ll end up with more of like the vibe you’re looking to portray. I really think you should get some snaps of me on my board. Yeah I know this is supposed to be a library shot- I can just skate in here. Follow me downstairs to the creative table. Sometimes I come here after the Jets lose or if I’m just feeling weepy. I made a sick zine once from telephone parts and recycled readings from a Motherhood & Mothering class here. It’s very important to be a feminist. Take a pic of me next to this Bell Hooks text. Feminism is for everybody, dude. You should know that.

When I’m not pumping up at the gym or reading feminist works I’m here, alone in a study group room. Sometimes I prop up my scarf and pencils to look like Sigmund Freud and I ask him: what would you do? Take a pic, bro. Now get out of here. My book club’s meeting in ten and I’m only halfway through

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
