Open Audio Article Player Click here to listen to this article! One morning, I saw a photo on social media of five girls, who I thought of as close friends, celebrating another friend’s birthday. It’s crazy how a simple photo can ruin your day when you let loneliness and insecurity take hold. My thoughts spiraled: Do they hate me since I wasn’t invited? I bet they have a group text without me … I invited them to my birthday party — why was I not invited to this one?

Is edgier fashion replacing traditional summer dresses this Boulevard season? A longstanding SMU tradition is wearing white to the first home football game. This is followed by just about anyone seen roaming the Boulevard on game day—students, professors, alumni. But when did the White-Out tradition begin? According to the Daily Campus article “I’m Dreaming of a White Boulevard,” the first official whiteout occurred in 2009 when over 3,000 white T-shirts were handed out by students and faculty.

Sneak Peak at “AM I ENOUGH?”, Free Chapters
As many of you know, I’ve been on this journey to publishing a book for quite some time. I’ve learned through this process God is good, age is but a number, and God will always provide in His timing. I’ve also learned writing about your personal struggles for the world to see is HARD. I’m a private person (despite what this blog may seem). So writing this book was vulnerable for me. In this book, I admit my mistakes, flaws, and sins.
A Letter To the "Netflix and Chill" Generation
Unless you live under a rock, then you have seen many funny tweets, vines, and viral memes about the term "Netflix and chill." If you don't understand exactly what this concept is, then I can quickly explain it for you. "Netflix and Chill"-- action verb-- is the term a guy uses to cover up the fact that he wants a girl he finds attractive to come over, hook up with him, and then leave. Netflix may be played as background noise and a conversation starter, but all he wants her for is a hook up.

Modest Is Not Hottest - A Look Into Why The Classic Christian Saying Is False
I used to always tell younger girls modest was hottest… One of my old articles for The Odyssey is going viral again currently…and in it I say “modest is hottest”. I’ll be honest with you, completely honest: I still struggle with dressing modestly. This summer I have purposefully been trying to work on the way I dress. Last winter, I still had my favorite short leather skirt. Last month, I still had my favorite trendy crop top that was probably a little too cropped.
God’s Letter to the Woman Who Thinks She’s Ugly
I know your thoughts. When you stand in the mirror and complain in your mind about how your “hair is too thin”, your “thighs are too large”, and that your “nose is weirdly shaped”– I hear it. I know your thoughts on your stomach and your pimples that seem to get only worse when it is your time of the month. I hear you complain about wanting a bigger butt and a smaller waist. I see you stalk random people on social media who look like you wish you did. I hear you compare yourself to other girls.
Wait For A Man Who Doesn’t Put You First
One of my friends growing up got that ring, and was officially engaged to the man of her dreams. We gushed over sushi about the day her man got down on one knee and asked to be hers forever. It felt like yesterday we were jamming to throwback songs together in the car, driving to high school, talking about homecoming, and dreaming about the kind of guys we would hopefully end up marrying. I asked her a quick question while I pretended to know how chopsticks work.
