I’ll start by saying that my coworkers are all fine and we all get along well. They aren’t the issue at all. The problem is our barn owner. I really don’t like being told that my horse is a reject and that I ride incorrectly. Part of what I’m mad about is that all she […]

I’m going to sleep after I write this, but I’m worried. As of now I’m seeing that SWAT and the nat’l guard are being sent to minneapolis and are being instructed to use violence if necessary (clearly they believe it will be “necessary”). I’m also seeing reports that certain Nazi groups are headed that way […]

The best part about working and getting grad gifts is that I now officially have my own money to spend how I’d like for pretty much the first time in my life. I don’t have to pay my parents back and use their cards. This feels pretty great. I’m not totally independent yet (if I’m […]

A fun thing that I’ve been seeing on Instagram a lot today was people starting to post their little “goodbye marquette :,(” posts. I have…many thoughts on this. Honestly, everybody who says that high school was the best four years of their life clearly are going to peak in high school and they don’t seem […]

So! My dad snapped on me at dinner just now, because I haven’t had a good attitude recently. By that, he means that I’ve been quiet. Not rude, just quiet. Today he came to my room to tell me that the Pitt shirt I ordered was too big and I should give it to him. […]

I’ve been immensely unproductive, school-wise, but honestly it’s not like I haven’t been doing anything. I found a bunch of nice arrangements of songs I like, so next time both my parents are gone, I might sit down and read through a few of them. Obviously I’ve been working too, so that eats up a […]

1. my parents get mad at me for turning the ac on but it’s 80 degrees in my room currently and im gonna die of heatstroke in the middle of the night 2. since my parents insist on keeping all of our windows open (hence the no ac) i have to do combat with dime […]

I think oversized t-shirts are going to go out of style in a few years, which is a little sad because they’re very comfortable. Hopefully, obnoxious expensive tennis shoes are going to go out of style too because there is no way to justify spending $300 on a pair of shoes that you don’t even […]

Look, I’m not saying that I’m going to completely ghost my friends from high school once I leave for college. That’s not what I’m going to do at all. HOWEVER, if certain specific ex-teammates could stop trying to interact with me that would be fantastic. One of the seniors from last year WILL NOT STOP […]

I somehow managed to swing a job this week. Three days a week, I’m going up to the barn to clean and see Ollie and I get paid to do it. It’s just minimum wage, but let’s be real, I’m a.) getting paid and b.) getting out of the house. I can’t ride, but it’s […]
