I'm a 21 year old English Education major with an affinity towards lemons with salt and Sylvia Plath. I love poetry and feminism and experiencing life and all it's idiosyncratic goodness. Hi, I'm Brandy.

I’m convinced that my major will always cause me a major headache. I’m do done with college.
This is the first summer where I’m done giving fucks about getting a “summer body”.

1. There will be several days that you daydream about stepping in front of a city bus. Don’t. It will not be beautiful. It will not be brave. It will be selfish. It will be broken. Your mother will cry.
2. Don’t write for him. Write for you. Write for others like you. Write so the girl that thinks about stepping in front of public transportation doesn’t. Don’t be selfish.
3. When you will yourself to sleep and it doesn’t come- get up. It doesn’t matter that it’s 3 am. There will be other 3 am’s. Take a shower. Take two. Wash him out of your hair. Write a poem. Read the same book you’ve read 202 times again. The 203rd time might tell you something different. Don’t stay in bed- you will think about the bus again.
4. Don’t kiss him because he’s broken. Don’t kiss him because his laughter never reaches his eyes. Don’t try and fix him. Fix yourself first. Be selfish. He can’t save you.
5. Date yourself. Take yourself out to eat. Don’t share your popcorn at the movies with anyone. Stroll around an art museum alone. Fall in love with canvases. Fall in love with yourself.
6. Dress up and wear red lipstick and get drunk with your friends. They’re the ones that will pick you up. Don’t kiss him. Or him. Don’t fall asleep on strange couches with strange boys. When his hand slides up your dress walk away. Hit him. Don’t kiss him. He can’t save you.
7. Get another tattoo. Get five more. Get another hole in your ear. Don’t listen to your dad. You will still be able to get a job. Did you really want to be employed by someone like your father? Haven’t you had enough of judgmental old white men anyway? Get fuck you tattooed in tiny letters on your hip.
8. When you feel the yearning for a new city- start over. Take 200 bucks and a three suitcases. Work anywhere that will have you. Meet strange people and forget your name. Call yourself Ruby. No one will know the difference. Remember to call your mother. Don’t be selfish. Come home when you find yourself in the strangers and the small one bedroom apartment.
9. Don’t whisper evil things into your own ear. Other people are going to shout them at you. Be your own hero. Keep a sword on your key ring.
10. Don’t step in front of a city bus. It will not be beautiful. Live. Stay up all night with a boy that promises you everything and means it. Live. See shitty local bands with a friend. Wear a different band’s t-shirt. No one will care. Live. Have a baby girl with tiny fingers and tiny toes someday. Pour love into her until it’s overflowing. Live. Wake up. Staying in bed all day is not poetic.
Live. Live.
Live.
Do you hear that? It’s me. It’s your life. Wake up.

All my life, I’ve had an ocean of long, long hair and I FINALLY CUT IT. Without telling anyone, I walked down to the hair salon on Main St and told them to chop it. .
It sounds so cheesy, but as she was cutting off my entire ponytail I felt so relieved and free. Plus I donated it. I feel older and happier and lighter.
SO GUESS WHAT
As of today, I will no longer be living with toxic roommates that made my living environment a really stressful, anxiety ridden place!
And yes, I needed to whip out my gifs of the queens of Disney to inform you guys. But honestly, the idea that next year I’ll be living with actual friends makes me really, really excited.
After the past three years, I deserve it.
I’ve never experienced a more trying, emotionally-draining, and exhausting semester. I see everyone excelling and I’m left feeling incompetent and on the brim of a panic attack every five seconds.
I need tomorrow, I need passing grades, I need a feeling of relief in my chest.
To do list for the night:
- Finish grammar project/reflective essay
- Study for my linguistics final at 10:30am
- Avoid a mental breakdown
Angelina Jolie announces a double mastectomy to save her life, people get fucking pissed and act like she’s lost everything that’s made her worthwhile in the first place, AND YOU WONDER WHY I FUCKING HATE THE “SAVE THE BOOBIES” TROPE.
BECAUSE NO ONE ACTUALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE WOMAN’S LIFE. WOMEN JUST HAPPEN TO BE ATTACHED TO A PAIR OF BREASTS. WOMEN AREN’T WORTH SAVING—BUT YOU BET YOUR ASS THE PUBLIC WILL BE IN A RIOT IF A GOOD PAIR OF TITS IS IN DANGER.

fyi ‘wow u must be on your period’ is the most misogynistic reply to a debate that i have ever fucking heard in my fucking life and believe me one of us is gonna be bleeding and it aint gonna be me

Someone needs to come over and physically force me to finish this paper, study for my tests, and pack. Because so far this morning all I’ve accomplished is drinking coffee and watching Ellen.
