‘Tis the Season to Break Up

Posted on November 19, 2019February 12, 2020 by Grace Barker

You’ve just arrived home for Fall break and your loved ones are greeting you. They help take your luggage in and give you hugs. They ask about your travels.

Who’s That Girl?

Posted on February 5, 2019 by Grace Barker

It would be impossible to count how many times my friends or I have said the words, “I don’t want to be that girl.”  This is the unwritten rule among girls to avoid exhibiting certain qualities, specifically directed at boys. “That girl” is needy, clingy, demanding, whiny, and overdramatic. Guys supposedly hate her and girls…

New Year, New Goals

Posted on January 2, 2019 by Grace Barker

The New Year is approaching, and that means the dread of coming up with a New Years resolution or the guilt that you’re not going to make one. Personally, I think New Year’s Resolutions are overrated and honestly depressing. I prefer small goals: they’re more attainable and you can work on them throughout the whole…

Who’s The “Mom Friend” of Your Girl Group?

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Grace Barker

It’s clear when you become a mom. People shower you balloons and flowers to help welcome you into the new world you have entered. But what about when you become the mom friend? Maybe it happens in one great moment of “momness” as you’re holding your crying roommate–or someone you just met.  Maybe you’ve developed…
