That’s right. Did you ever think you would see the day that John Tucker and Sabrina would come together? I didn’t, but that’s exactly what happened last night. And truthfully, it’s not that simple. It wasn’t John Tucker but Jesse Metcalfe, and it wasn’t Sabrina but Melissa Joan Hart. They were together, acting on … Continue reading When John Tucker Defends Sabrina the Teenage Witch
For seven weeks now, I’ve worked out 3-4 times a week. And just a week ago, my boyfriend and I committed to truly eating healthy. It’s hard (I’m on a greens and chicken overload and thinking about it makes me nauseous so thank goodness tonight was cheat night). But I am learning a lot about … Continue reading You Are Not Your Own
This is my second try finding a minute to blog in the last 24 hours, and with this sentence I am committed. This one goes out to you, Dr. Greinke, because you are probably one of the most important people who (not that, thanks for correcting me, I’ll never get “that” wrong again) reads my … Continue reading FATE
To the nervous upperclassman on his/her first day of class at a new school, You’re an upperclassman, you shouldn’t be nervous. At least that’s what you keep telling yourself, right? Actually, it’s okay to be nervous, maybe even scared. After all, this is your first day at a new college. I know you because … Continue reading An Open Letter to the Transfer College Student
Lately: I started nannying. Caitlyn Jenner overwhelmingly grabbed the media’s attention. I attended a leadership conference exclusively for members of my sorority. The Charleston church shooting devastated the African American community. I finally got the New Member Education curriculum for my sorority exactly the way I envisioned it. I decided to put on some serious … Continue reading Love Has Won (Not A Post About Gay Marriage)
I had never experienced loss before May 6. On that day, during my ecology final, I lost my 95-year-old great grandma. I was lucky to know her at all; I always knew that. And I never thought her passing would hit my as hard as it has, but it really does have me thinking. As … Continue reading A Matriarch
Philippians 4:6 says this: “The Lord is at hand: do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” I’ve been really anxious lately, and I’ve neglected my blog and writing in general. I’m anxious about the future of my sorority. I’m … Continue reading Jesus Freak
You’ll learn what it means to unapologetically be yourself, but you’ll continue to run into people who make you question who you are. It’s okay. You’ll also run into people who make you feel comfortable in your own skin like you never have before, but sadly many of those people only make a brief appearance. It’s okay. You’ll … Continue reading 22 Things Your Sophomore Year of College Teaches You
Proverbs 9:9 says, “Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.” This semester, I am (basically) a teacher. I’m scared and overwhelmed, but I’m also ready. I have four beautiful baby Phis in my New Member Education Program, I’m teaching the fifth book of … Continue reading To Be Wise
An end of the year/end of the semester post is due, but I haven’t quite been sure where to start. I’ve learned a lot – I’m always learning – and somehow this chapter of my life has left me feeling confident and confused, whole and broken. But very fulfilled. Is that possible? As far as … Continue reading 3,456 Miles

You are adored
