Reader’s Advisory: The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck
Yes, we Millenials suck sometimes. But you know what we are good at? Not giving a shit about things that don’t actually matter. Especially things that don’t actually matter in our own specific lives (I’m looking at you AP Calculus. And you, insert basically any celebrity name here who is famous for nothing). Elderly people…

Childhood Throwback Part II
Obviously I wrote this one before someone actually agreed to date me (I’m as shocked as you are): “Everyone does weird shit when they’re a little kid and don’t know any better. Or even when they do know better and just choose to rebel against society’s (their parent/guardian’s rules). Seriously, EVERYONE does. So don’t try…

Childhood Throwback (Little Emily was an A-Hole) Part I
Over the last couple of years, I have written little snippets here and there about my childhood and what a weird arse-hole I was. I don’t really know why, maybe it was therapeutic?

The Rosé Effect
There are always those things in this world you positively lust for, because to you, they scream the epitome of elegance. You think if you can only go there, eat that, own this, then you will somehow be a better person or be in a better place than you are now. For awhile now, two…

11 Examples of How Drunk Emily is Like A 1 Year Old Puppy
Not only does this weekend mark my first day off in three weeks, it also brings with it a party to celebrate my birthday (yes, all hope is not yet lost, there will be celebration!) and my gaining of an abode that is not the guest room in my parent’s house. As I assume there…

Throwback Post #2: Fish Funeral
It has occurred to me that last week marked the one year anniversary of the tragic demise of my beloved fish, Mofo 2.0. In honor of my dearly departed fishy friend (who I owned for no less than nine months), please accept this mini entry I wrote a year ago upon his death: “I am…
