First Lady Michelle Obama talked about her experience with race and the media during her commencement speech at Tuskegee University. You can watch the full address here.

Michelle Obama is a remarkable woman, and I’m actually looking forward to when she is no longer FLOTUS, because she’ll be able to use her intellect, law degree, and incredible amount of experience to do amazing things that our screwed up society doesn’t allow First Ladies to do.

You go to parties where you know you will only stay an hour. Lean quietly against the wall, watching people with enviably easy laughter. Your smile is a cracked boat in a flooded river. Close, but still useless. You do not talk to strangers, just sit there like a begging dog beside the dinner table, with eyes that say “Please, come, be my friend. I am a coward, but I’m hungry.

I just found out the other week that they don't require a psych eval to get your concealed carry permit O.o

It is okay to want your own happiness. It’s okay to care about yourself the most. You are not obligated to sit there and smile and swallow every bit of shit everyone heaps on you. You are more than furniture, you’re more than window dressing, you’re not their shiny toy. You’re human, and you have the right to say “That was shitty of you”. You have a right to protest your own mistreatment and set boundaries for respectful interactions. The rest of the world doesn’t realize you have this right, and they will act offended and appalled when you exercise it, but it is yours.

College kids literally don’t care about walking in the way of cars at school because we’re like “hit me i don’t care pay my tuition.”

"Hit me my thesis is due in 12 hours and I haven’t started it"

"Hit me I have a final in an hour and I didn’t study"

"Hit me I’ve been on a 24 hour drinking binge and I’m invincible"

Finals and the Ballad of Love and Hate

Finals and the Ballad of Love and Hate

Last day of classes complete.

One study write-up, the practice GRE, a Forensic Psychology final, and a Program Evaluations and Outcome Measures final stand between myself and the End of the Semester.

Then Summer begins…

Then only three or four classes stand between myself and graduation.

Validation and Mason Jennings

I’m busy.

I often worry that, because I am so busy, I am not keeping up. That’s why it was especially nice to sit down with my professor to discuss some concerns I had with my final study write-up i was working on and hear from her that she thought my study was really neat and suggested I sign up for an advanced independent research “class” to run my study again (after a few tweaks I’m thinking…

I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.

She was desperate and she was choosey at the same time and, in a way, beautiful, but she didn’t have quite enough going for her to become what she imagined herself to be.

"I used to have really bad social anxiety. I’d be so afraid of saying something awkward and uninteresting, I’d stand on the perimeter of conversations and not say a thing. Which ironically came across as awkward and uninteresting."
