In the three years my boyfriend and I have been together, we have not taken a vacation together. I have visited him at school and he's visited me, and we have driven up to his house at school over the summer, but we've never taken a full on trip together, let alone with either of our families. In a few weeks, he will join my family and me on an eight hour road trip to Maryland. Continue reading
I recently posted about my friend who was dating an inexperienced guy. (Find the post here.) For a quick update: they are still seeing each other, and they still have not kissed since the first (and only) time they made out. Last night, as he was walking her to her car, my friend was getting excited because she thought he would finally go in for the kiss. Instead, he leaned in for yet another awkward hug. He tells his friends that he likes her, so at this point she has had it. She has decided she needs to "man up and do it." This morning, she quite exasperatedly asked, "is this how most guys feel all the time?" Continue reading
My current obsession is the Netflix original series Orange Is the New Black. If you haven’t seen it, here’s a brief synopsis: Piper Chapman is a prissy, well-to-do New Yorker with a secret. 10 years ago, before meeting and getting engaged to that guy from American Pie, she was in a lesbian relationship with an international drug runner. Piper got involved in the drug business, got caught, and got 15 months. She and her fiancé are definitely struggling with her sentence, and it makes me wonder: what if my SO was behind bars?

I was on Tumblr the other day and came across a very interesting post that I wanted to share with you all. It reads, "I think virginity is the most over-hyped, illogical concept I’ve ever heard of, let alone one of the largest double-standards in history. I have no idea why people over-hype the fact that someone hasn’t had sex, or why they equate it to 'innocence', 'virtue', or 'honor'. It simply means you haven’t had sex, it doesn’t say anything about your character." Continue reading
I admit that I might have an idealized view of marriage. I only had a glimpse of my parents' marriage for six short years before my mother passed away in a car accident. So, the progression of my understanding of what a marriage is might have been considerably slowed after that. I think I did that on purpose: the six-year-old version of me just wanted to believe that my parents were madly in love and never disagreed or fought. That is what a marriage is, right?

My boyfriend and I have been friends since junior year of high school and it wasn't until 9 years later that we realized we had feelings for each other. We have sex pretty much every single time we meet up, which is not a bad thing. The things is, I feel like he's too pushy and rough. I don't know what turns him on automatically, but out of nowhere while I'm talking to him about... I don't know, puppies?.. he'll get horny and just jump into trying to have a deep make out session and then have sex. He's already hard and he just tries to take my clothes off and put it in.

Yesterday I bubbled up and broke into pieces inside. I met up with my boyfriend after I went out with my girlfriend for the evening. I wanted to see him but I was angry. So angry that I couldn't look him in the eyes. In short, disgusted with him. Fed up and every other word used to describe being somewhat finished with another person's bullshit. Prior to seeing him we hadn't conversed in almost two days. He was with his young daughter, he said, which is no excuse for the lack of communication. I think he forgot that cell phones have since merged into a sort of third anatomical limb to the human body. There is no excuse for not getting in touch and not texting. This was not like him; something felt off.
I was pissed and fed up and text him the night before. I told him I was finished with work and asked him if he was. I sat at the bar and waited for him to respond to me, left and then ten minutes later, after I had already gone, he appeared. I was already home, long gone. He never answered my text or by the time he answered, it was too late; I had waited a while for him to text me back. He told me he came to surprise me. I thought it was sweet but deep down I thought, what the fuck? Couldn't you just answer me? The following evening, which was last night, we saw each other. Continue reading
I was having dinner with my friend, Maya*, and she was telling me about her friend at school. He is dating a girl in the grade above us, and she is looking to apply to medical school. Since she is a year older than her boyfriend, she will of course be going to medical school first. Her grades are very good and her parents are willing to pay for it, so technically, she could apply to any med school she wanted. However, she is essentially letting her boyfriend make the decision.
