Guest Post: Costco is Purgatory

I imagine Purgatory to be like the Costco food court – disingenuous bursts of impossibly bright red bringing to the mind the intense flavor of cherry cough syrup and gleaming white countertops that are supposed to give the impression of cleanliness but whose smooth surfaces only feel grimy. Under the fluorescent lights and against theContinue reading “Guest Post: Costco is Purgatory”

Guest Post: 0200

I can’t sleep. When I lie in bed at night, it’s like I’m doing everything I’m supposed to not be doing in order to go to bed. Thoughts become a flash flood that was never on the forecast, and I was the poor soul that went camping by the riverside. Thought 1. The One that Escaped.Continue reading “Guest Post: 0200”

Down The Rabbit Hole

“You’re incredibly bonkers. But let me tell you something: all the best people are.” The one thing that you should never try to argue with is the fact that you are crazy. As in crazy, it could mean a flaw: you’re too spoiled, too artistic, too emo, too smart. Yet, it could mean a perfection:Continue reading “Down The Rabbit Hole”

We won’t get to have those precious 30 minutes with our mutual best friends, the people we knowContinue reading “The Last Forever: Goodbye, HIMYM”

Kate Carroll: The True Cost of Being Prom Queen

Prom: an uninspiring weekend where you play make-believe as royalty. You’re pretending that you are something with a $600 dress you’ve convinced yourself that you’ll wear again, until someone vomits on you. Time, energy, and focus are wasted on an overhyped event that ends in disappointment, disaster or mediocrity. Some of us aren’t even theContinue reading “Kate Carroll: The True Cost of Being Prom Queen”

Guest Post: Smoke and Glass

I feel like I’ve killed my grandmother or something. My parents mope around the house sighing and staring at each other meaningfully over steaming cups of tea. “This girl,” their eyes say, “who is she?” Surely this cannot be the small doll-like child that we introduced into the world. The one who could make anyoneContinue reading “Guest Post: Smoke and Glass”

Guest Post: Aporia

So quick backstory. This is Earth, about a thousand years later. We’ve averted the global warming crisis of 2032 and 2503, but because of this, Earth is now an inhabitable wasteland, save for its middle atmosphere, where humanity now lives. Having built a floating city using anti-gravity technology developed in 2380 when humanity tried toContinue reading “Guest Post: Aporia”

Guest Post: The State of the Senior

I didn’t get into college yet. There’s a mountain of homework that I haven’t started yet, at 6PM on Sunday. I’ve been furiously writing as many supplements as possible, in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, I’ll finish seven of them in two weeks.
