Thrifting - The New Mall Experience
The first gem I found myself was a little black blazer with cheap shoulder pads and two buttons on the front that I could only button one of. Prior to uncovering my diamond in the rough, I was overwhelmed when I walked into thrift stores. Unfortunately, thrifting was my dad’s favorite hobby, so he would drag me along almost every weekend to participate.

Bartering in the 21st Century
While it feels like the world is far down the path of feudalism and we, the serfs, are working more hours in a day and more days in a year than ACTUAL medieval peasants, I feel it’s a great time to bring up my thoughts on bartering in the 21st century and tip your mind’s needle in the direction of getting involved in your local exchange culture.

Three Tips for Being Successful
I’ve been thinking a lot about success lately. By most people’s definition, I would be considered a failure. I didn’t finish college, I’m not working a traditional 9-5, I’ve never run a business that actually made any money, I’m not a part of any thriving friend groups (or friend groups at all for that matter.) I have a bad haircut, am out of shape, and am exhausted most of the time. I don’t consider myself a failure, though. I consider myself very successful. My thought process on success has drastically changed over the past year. How could it not?

Accepting My Woman-Sized Body
I didn’t really have much sex or biology education. I didn’t really know that the little pooch I’d been hating on and trying to get rid of since I was 6 years old was actually my uterus and was supposed to be there. I didn’t know that having different sized breasts than the rest of the girls my age was pretty normal. I just didn’t know. I’ve spent my whole life hating the body I was born in and thinking that I wasn’t enough; I’ve spent too much time thinking I was too chunky, had too short of a waist, my thighs were too fat, my head was an ugly shape, my cheeks were too chubby, and that if I could just *fix* all the little things, that I could have a chance at being happy.

The Hope for American Democracy
As she opened her eyes, the brisk air filled her tired lungs. She wiped the eye crusties off and remembered that she hadn’t removed her mascara and bright crimson lipstick last night. She looked across the room and her roommate, Evellynne was passed out on the emerald velvet (faux velvet) couch with her stick-straight purple hair hanging in her face.
