Barely Abigail’s Guide to ~ Dating ~

I haven't spoken much about my *love life* on this blog because I. Know. Nothing. I had little dating experience when I got to college four years ago, and boy, did I screw up after that. In an effort to keep sane, I have repressed many of these experiences, burying them under awkward encounters with …

The Fig Tree Conundrum

It's currently 1:21 a.m. I have a final in T-6 hours and 39 minutes. I also have a headache. Obviously, it's time to write a blog post on an account I haven't touched in three months. On that note, hello! Long time, no see. I'm having a few issues I'd like to work through with …

Well kids, it’s been a while

I think it's safe to say that my first round of Blogust is a massive face plant. I think that's okay, though, it leaves room for improvement. Right? Right. I'm all moved in to college and almost completely through my first week back. Classes are actually pretty great, I started a new job in my …

Getting Crafty

So, I did it again. I missed a day. I even had great post lined up, I just had no time to sit down and write it. Sorry, guys! You see, yesterday, I went for the chop. Half of my hair is now gone and I mostly love it but have a few misgivings. I'll …

UPDATES and STRESS

It's still August 11th my time, so this post totally counts towards Blogust. Many things happened today, depending on your definition of "things". If you're thinking of a productive accomplishment with a physical effect, then you and I are not on the same page (unless you're talking about when I had to clean out a …

365 Days Ago.

After having lunch with a friend today, I have fully grasped how ready I am to go back to college. I've been getting ready for the past month, crossing things off of my "Prepare for Junior Year" list, but today, it hit me hard. However, as excited as I am to head back, I can't …

Barely Abigail’s Guide to Starting Your Day Right

Today, I woke up with 15 minutes to get ready for work. I threw on some clothes that didn't need to be ironed (as much as the others, at least), brushed my teeth while putting shoes on, and grabbed my makeup bag so I could put my face on in the car. I ran through …

A Lake House, Brimming

Yesterday, I was able to reunite with childhood friends that I haven't seen in months. We all grew up in the same church together, singing in the youth choir, but have since gone to different colleges, pursued different career paths, etc. All six of us have changed, some more drastically than others, yet sitting in …

Quarter-Life Crisis and MBTI

I was working on my resume the other day when I had a small existential crisis. What were my strengths and skills? I know how to use Microsoft Word..how will I get a job with just that?? Then what if I don't get a job, I'll have to sell my body to pay my student …

BLOGUST

So. I haven't posted in a few days. I'm feeling like I'm hitting a creative dry spell. In fact, this whole year has felt like a inspiration famine...I've had multiple changes and challenges to combat and had to put all of my energy towards functioning properly. It's been a wild ride, and though I feel …
