Wow, hi y’all. “Sorry” does not suffice for the silence I’ve left you all with. But I am sincerely sorry for not posting and further, not updating at all. I’m embarrassed by my lack of commitment towards my blog. I’ll explain more detail in a later blog post, I promise, but right now I need… Continue reading Help Me Get to Ukraine
Hey y’all. I’m sorry for the lack of posts on my end. I had midterms last week and now I’m finally on spring break so I have the time to write. The only thing I’ve been writing is about my anxiety in my journal. I want to explore this area and also share them. I… Continue reading GAD
(Possible trigger warning ahead) These paranoid thoughts keep destroying what little self confidence I have left and I keep trying to silence them but every time they fight back with “you’re not enough, you’re not enough, you’re not enough.” Constantly reminding me of my insufficiencies. I overthink every single social interaction, thinking knowing that I said… Continue reading silencing anxiety
The first women’s rights convention was recorded in 1848. Behind the scenes of this convention, Elizabeth Cady Stanton drafted the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions. The Sentiments demanded equality with men before the law, in education and employment.This was also the first pronouncement demanding that women be given the right to vote. After two days of discussion… Continue reading The Present is Female
Happy new year y’all! Ya know, I do a lot of reflections on this blog. Almost too many, like I’m annoying myself. I mean, honestly heidi, how many more times can you reflect this year. I write at least two reflections a year because of the change in semesters and then usually one more because… Continue reading A Necessary Goodbye to 2016
Honestly, I don’t know where to begin this blog post. I’ve been doing this series since my very first semester of college and thinking about that Heidi puts me in a weird place. Like I know that was me, obviously, but it’s hard to reconcile the two of us. Bitch was angry, sad, ignorant, she… Continue reading My Fifth Semester of College Taught me…
Hey y’all! Long time no post, I know. I apologize for my absence, I truly feel like I’m doing this too much. But to be honest, I’m not doing that great mentally. I know, it’s like “damn Heidi, does it ever end with you?” The answer is no, it doesn’t. I’m a chill person with… Continue reading Life Update
Hey y’all! I hope everyone has easily adjusted to classes starting back up. I just completed the first week of my junior year and man, it feels like I was plunked into the middle of the semester. The work load I have is unreal. But I know it will get done. I just have to… Continue reading Good Vibes Only
Hey y’all! I can’t believe students have already started classes. Thank goodness I don’t for two more weeks because I am nowhere near mentally ready to take on this semester. I think we all can relate to the pit in our stomachs when we think about school, (no? just me? okay no big deal).… Continue reading The Power in Humility
Hey y’all! I hope everyone has been having a great summer. If you feel you haven’t, don’t worry because there’s still time! Anyways, sorry for the lack of post last week. If you follow me on Instagram (@heiids), you’d know I was taking a staycation from blogging. I had been consistently posting once a week… Continue reading “I’m Not Like Other Girls”
In light of recent events, (read: two men shot dead by police in two days and five DPD police officers shot dead) I feel compelled to share a quick post with y’all. I am not here to tell you what you should or shouldn’t believe. However, I am here to spread awareness. It feels weird… Continue reading Silence is Deafening
Hey y’all. After spending a few days racking my brain on what to blog about and coming up short, I had an epiphany (not entirely true, but I wanted to use that word). I spent a few hours the other day walking around German Village in Columbus with a good friend of mine and we… Continue reading Empathy and Happiness
Hey y’all! Going to jump right into this post because it’s been on my mind for awhile. I encourage everyone to read this, not just females. For ladies, summer means shaving everything. I’ve experienced immense fear and shame over the fact that I have body hair. I started shaving my legs in 5th grade; I… Continue reading Female Body Hair
Today is my birthday and it feels a little weird to be typing a post all about my birthday. In reality it truly is just another day. I (hopefully) have more days ahead of me, though I try my best to expect nothing. I do feel that it is important to reflect on the year… Continue reading Twenty
