I turn to the clock and the red LCD lights flash 2:00 a.m. I have yet to fall asleep. I rest my head on my pillow and have laid awake enveloped in my comforting sheets.
Thoughts constantly invade my mind. I'm constantly second guessing myself. I'm constantly questioning myself. Did I do the right thing? Did I say the...

Growing up, I did a couple pageants, one when I was six and another one when I was about ten. For me, it was just a day when I got to look extra pretty, but nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't until this past Saturday that I really experienced the smell of hairspray and desperation in a beauty pageant. It was something...

Back in the day a performance qualified as someone walking on stage and bearing their soul. It was about the music, and it was about the talent. Now an artist qualifies as someone who is so bizarre, so outgoing, so appealing they can sell anything.
Lately the music industry has been lacking in real talent. Many artists are...

Jan. 24, my lifelong dream came true.
I was headed to the gym when my cell phone buzzed with an email. I almost didn’t check it because usually it was nothing more than junk mail, but for whatever reason I decided to check it.
My stomach dropped like I was on the world’s largest roller coaster when I saw who it was...

From apps about how to kiss to apps dealing with the weather, there seems to be an app for everything these days. Some may see this as a bad thing, but I believe that having an app for everything is a useful tool and helps our continuously changing culture.
With new technology comes new problems.

When I hear the term a "steamy" relationship, I normally picture a scene in "The Titanic." In this scene Jack and Rose are running through the engine room, and they find a car where they have a romantic encounter. This is my personal definition of a steamy relationship, so when I saw a headline on a magazine cover that called...

Talk of decreasing the Arkansas lottery scholarship has been brought up by the legislative committee that oversees the money. The cut is to affect future recipients of the lottery scholarship.

The Bachelor is a typical reality show. Nothing close to reality.
It features overly expensive dates, breathtaking venues, romantic sunsets, and the absence of all things real.
The real world we all live in is nearly absent from this over-dramatized version of the search for love. The search for love is an age old quest...
