Living with roommates is always an adventure. I've lived with my share of crazy people, and sane people, and it's a vicious cycle that will continue until I can afford a place of my own. I shared all of last year's college year with three other girls in a suite: two girls per room, separated by a bathroom. This summer Hannah, one of the girls I shared a suite with, and Tiana, a girl who was on the...

A boy with whom I've had serious feelings for recently told me that he didn't want to date. It wasn't because of "me" but because of the whole "girlfriend" thing. He said, "I think I'll be held back." Talk about a low blow. His words made me think--was I someone who would another back? I am an incredibly passionate and determined person; leading me to think that if anything, I would encourage...

Life is like the ocean. At times, the waters are rough and the tides turn at the worst possible time, yet it can also have smooth sailing; pushing you onwards in the right direction. The biggest thing to take away from these storms at sea that you must always learn something from it. Humans are far from perfect. We make mistakes and fall down, but so long as we learn to get back on our feet, we...

My best friend/boyfriend of 1.5 years killed himself last January. I was the last one he ever spoke to, and I tried to get him help, though he adamantly refused saying it was "weakness" or that he was "fine."My best friend/roommate attempted suicide for the second time last weekend. She was having chest pains at first in the worst anxiety attack she's ever had, so I called the ambulance. When she...

I'm in this kinda-sorta relationship with this guy, let me explain... I haven't seen him in a while, from our conversations, I know he likes me a lot. We were just friends for a while because there's a good chunk of distance between us. Over time, though, things started escalating into him calling me terms of endearment. Over Thanksgiving break, I called him out on it. I couldn't take the cute...

I was seriously doing so well. I had established that this guy and I were friends, just friends. He's in Maine, I'm in Wisconsin, it was perfect. Then this week happened. For the past month, we've beenSkyping regularly and he's called me on the phone and we talk as he drives home from work, but I just remind myself that we're just friends. This week, though, he started call me "hun" and "dear" and...

It's almost 2 am. I've had an incredibly long day and am crazy fucking tired. Long story short, there was an all-out volleyball game played, a lot of traveling, and a lot of babysitting of drunks. I'm back and all I wanna do is sleep BUT I can't. Because my LOVELY roommate just told me I might have to "find somewhere else" because she might need the room. What?! I've been gone for the past two...

After tonight I'm just done. My roomie's boyfriend has been pushing for me hard to go for this guy on his hockey team. A guy who I actually have a crush on. Tonight, two of my teammates tried wingmanning for me. Basically, everything crashed and went up in a glorious set of flames. He told my roomie's boyfriend that he's not interested. Cool.Can't say I'm surprised.Long story short, "I'm not...

I'm the most awkward person in the whole world. For the most part, I accept it as being just another awesome part of who I am. But then, it becomes annoying when all I want to do something actually a little gutsy... Let me fill you in here.I have a huge crush on this guy here at my college. Huge. Crush. That's bad. Definitely not good for a an awkward person such as myself. Next weekend we have a...

So my roommate and best friend just got a boyfriend. She and him have him talking for a while, so it's been a long time coming. But last night I was thinking of all my girlfriends and I realized......they all have someone.I'm just over here like, "Hey, guys! This is Peanut... my stuffed elephant... we're cuddle buddies.... Yeah..."I mean, there's this super adorable guy up here who I met. It's...

So my best friend and boyfriend of two years committed suicide on January 9 of this year. It's been rough. There's a lot that is crushing about the whole situation. I was the only one who knew he was suffering from depression. I tried to get him help, but he refused to see a therapist, so instead I made him promise me that should he feel like taking his life, he would call me. Which he did. And...

OH MY GOSH I'M SO EXCITED! Haha so today I had a very long car ride to go see my brother at scout camp. It was two hours there AND two hours back. I ended up spending the majority of the trip plotting about this story idea which I've had bouncing around in my head for far too long. The biggest problem was the ending. I am wicked awful at endings. But then, it happened.BING BANG BOOMI knew. From...

I suppose before I get too carried away with this whole blogging concept (something which is much easier on Mibba than, say, Blogger), I should probably do a little introduction. Do people do that? ...I'm not really sure... but I'm going to!Alrighty, so this fall will be sophomore year at a college way up in da northwoods of Wisconsin. It's my home away from home, right on Lake Superior. About as...

So last night I wrote a blog entry about how difficult it is to be a romantic in this day and age... and I just want to address some of the comments left on the entry, because folks made some great points.dru's sick and tired pointed out that long term relationships redefine the idea of "romance." I would agree with her whole-heartedly here. My longest relationship was about 1.5 years long. For...

So I'm a bit of a romantic. This is a problem. Because, of course, in this current day and age you'd be lucky to find a romantic guy. Last year was my freshman year of college, and I think I encountered every douche on campus. Now, that's not saying much... I go to a really small college--there's only like 600 students so... (Discussion for another time). However, now I'm going to be on campus in...
