Hannah & Julie
roommates, technically adults, writers on the side.
To be completely honest, I’ve been a bit of a mess lately, my friends. A few weeks ago I got anxious about a few things, then I got anxious about getting anxious, then before I knew it I was bawling in my car because Julie had 1) asked if I was okay and 2) put …
So, ehem… do you have any plans for after graduation? It feels like I’ve gotten this question a lot lately, from people who don’t necessarily know me all that well. These distant friends and relatives all have a hint of anxiety in their eyes as they ask. They know it’s a perfectly reasonable question, but …
You guys, the strangest thing has been happening lately. You know those moments; you’ll be walking to the library, or making lunch in your apartment, or sitting in class, and all of a sudden the rush of things you have to get done just washes over you and you can’t breathe for a second? Well …
A few weeks ago, Julie and I were downstairs at the bar, ignoring homework and attracting a lot of attention on the dance floor. (Yes, we live above a bar. Yes, it’s true what you’ve heard about our dance moves—they’re bizarre yet infectious.) Julie grabbed my arm and yelled in my ear as she often …
So yesterday got away from me. I closed my laptop at the end of the day and it was already past midnight. So here it is, a day late: You guys, this Monday might actually last forever. I think it’s been Monday for several years already. It’s almost 8pm and this is the first time …
I’m not exactly sure when being “basic” became a thing. Every now and then, someone mentions basic bitches in front of Julie and me, and we’re always just a little bit perplexed. Who is basic? What is basic? Are we basic? Is basic starting to sound funny to anybody else? I bring up the basics …
Last week I was sitting in the library and my phone buzzed. It was a text from Hann. Several texts, actually. This is what they said: Sept. 24, 11:13am: Found a new coffee cart. Sept. 24, 11:13am: Vanilla-hazelnut flavor Sept. 24, 11:14am: Styrofoam cups which isn’t my favorite aesthetic Sept. 24, 11:14am: But this shit …
We’re heading towards the one-month semester marker, and this is where I usually start to get overwhelmed. I am overwhelmed. Is everybody overwhelmed? It seems like everyone I run into on campus is always just slightly out of breath. Hey, how are you? I’m great, SO busy though. Let’s get coffee sometime if I’m not …
Big news, guys, this blog is turning 2! In blog years, that means it’s 21. We (Hannah and Julie) are also 21, so all three of us are going to the bar as soon as we’re done writing this post. (Yes, we can now write about going to the bar without tarnishing our reputations to …
(Note: I wrote this post last night around 11:45. It’s a little all over the place, but it’s raw and emotional, you know? A glimpse at what finals do to the psyche. This is a psychological exposé, really.) The semester is almost over! Finals week is an uphill battle, my friends, and one time Julie …
