Frequently Asked Questions | This is Real. This is Me.

Since high school, people seem to be asking me a lot of the same questions. And by people, I mean family, friends, adults, co-workers, bosses, etc. You get the idea. So I decided to answer all of your questions folks.

And yes. People really do ask these with the added exclaimations. Also take my sassiness with a grain of salt but we all have those questions that just annoy the shizz out of us. So I am just going to put them all out there for you all. If you ever ask these questions, this is most likely what my inner monologue sounds like when answering.

Q: You're 20?! Wow, you look so young!

A: Yes, I am 20. I can show you my ID if you want? And as hard as it is to believe, I, in fact, already know that I look young.

Q: How tall are you? You're so small!

A: I am somewhere between 5'0" and 5'1.5" but what matters is what is on the inside people. The best things come in small packages.

Q: How much do you weigh? You're so skinny!

A: None of your business. If I were overweight you probably wouldn't be asking me this. Skinny people have insecurites too! In fact it is one of my biggest insecurities. But if you really need to know, I weigh...wait nope, still none of your business.

Q: Why do you workout? You're so skinny already.

**Disclaimer- this is referring to like the five times I have worked out, but I am trying to workout more often.

A: Because I want to. Just because I am skinny does not mean I am technically in shape. I could be skinny and unhealthy so I try to workout to stay healthy. No I am not working out to try to lose weight, in fact I try to workout to build up muscle.

Q: What do you want to do after college?

A: Get a job....a paying job, travel, get two kittens, stay close to all of high school and college friends, treat my mom out to dinner every once in awhile (dependent on if I accomplish that job thing), be happy.

Q: What do you think you want to do for a living?

A: Unrealistically, I would love to be paid to travel and eat delicious food without actually having to work. Realistically, I still don't really know. PR? Marketing? Fashion? Social Media? Who knows. Somewhere along those lines?

Q: How is college going?

A: Do you really want to know to details on how it's going? Or is this just small talk? Well regardless, it is currently going swell. Long story short, I hated it the first year, like not just homesick but was really unhappy but now I'm not so it's going relatively good.

Q: Do you have a boyfriend?

A: Nope. All I have at the moment are celebrity crushes and taylor the latte boy. But please do not feel bad for me or say that "awh it's okay, it will happen." While I appreciate the sentiment, I am not sad about single. I am not looking for a relationship nor am I against one. I am just living my life and if I meet someone along the way then I will just try to go with the flow when that time comes.

Q: What are you doing this summer?

A: I have a PR internship and am working at old navy (although I only have one shift this week so is that really working?), chilling with friends and fam when I can and sleeping as much as I can cause do more of what makes you happy right?

Q: Why are you wearing makeup right now? A: Because I want to. I do what I want.

Q: What's wrong?

A: Nothing? Oh yeah, I have a bad case of RBF (resting b*tch face) so my face just looks like that sometimes. Sorry 'bout that. I'm really okay most of the time though.

and lastly....

Q: Why are you writing this post?

A: No one has actually asked me that but I am asking myself now. I honestly don't know what inclined me to write this. Sometimes ideas just come to you and you just run with it you know? But I guess I am writing this because one, some of these questions are just annoying and some really should just not be asked. So be careful with what you say to people. Also this post encaptures my more sassy side, a side I have not showed as much on this blog, but like my friend Demi Lovato once said "this is real, this is me." Don't be afraid to be a little sassy and sarcastic. Sometimes you just have to be unapologetically youself. This is really me just trying to add some depth to this post but I still think this stuff is relavant. But all of these answers, though mostly answered sassily (is that a word?) are answered truthfully so.

You made it to the end! Do you feel like you know me any better? Did I answer all of your questions? I hope I did.

Stay healthy and happy folks and love yourself like Kanye loves Kanye

Until next time,
