Things I Think to Share With You On My Lunch Break
I use the list form when I’m too lazy to work everything into one cohesive storyline. And this post is only because I’m bored on my lunch break and figured I needed a bit of an update over here. So here are some things I’m thinking of. -I’ve been missing Europe a lot lately. I…

Things I Require In an Apartment
So I’ve now looked at a total of three apartments in The Great Apartment Search. Though I found a seemingly PERFECT one that both my potential roommate and I are in love with—it’s just too expensive to be worth it right now. We’re mostly looking at apartment complexes, a thing I’d never considered before. They…

The Great Apartment Hunt
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my current living situation and whether or not I’m happy with it. I’m finding that I’m not as happy as I could be, and since this new year or whatnot is supposed to be about continuing to learn how to be an adult and do that whole “finding…

In Which Ashley Goes to the Gym for the First Time In Months
I’ve always been some sort of “skinny.” I’ve never been a beanpole or had what my mom refers to as “chicken legs,” and though I sometimes wished my thighs were a little smaller or my arms and stomach a bit more toned I’ve never quite worried about my weight. I was always content to assume…

The Art of Losing
Another short I wrote. This one is entirely fictional. I was overly excited to lose my baby teeth and the shiny coins that resulted in the tooth fairy’s visit. And I wasn’t born with a full set of teeth, though fun fact: I was born with a full head of hair. I think this is…

A Thing I Wrote a While Ago
I wrote this while still in college. I like it, I’m just putting it here so that I don’t lose it. I’m going to post a couple of these, just for fun. Just to save. Semi-fictional. I wrote it after I had lunch with an ex, where upon getting in my car I wondered why…

Resolutions a Little Late — The Art of Being Alone
I keep finding new New Years Resolutions I should add to my list. I suppose “Resolutions” on the New Year are just full of false hopes. Nobody keeps them past January without some serious self restraint. I like the idea of trying to better yourself without some sort of magical start date. At least, that’s…

A Random Gift from an Old Friend
Yesterday I came home to find a box from Amazon waiting for me. I assumed it was a textbook my brother had ordered for next semester, but it was mysteriously addressed to me. A friend I haven’t seen since graduation (and, admittedly, probably even longer than that) sent me Mindy Kaling’s new book, “Is Everyone…

Dream Job Ponderings
What is my dream job? It changes. A Lot. I feel that as a young 20-something this is the question I’m most asked by anyone who is mildly interested in my professional goals. Honestly, since about age 5 it’s changed drastically. What I “want to be when I grow up” has gone anywhere from the…

Happy New Year!
Happy New Years everyone 🙂 Issues from last post have been resolved, and I think we’re on the same page now. Which is good, because that hopefully means things go back to being fun and happy. I welcomed in 2012 with some new friends at a low key party with much good food and awesome…
