What I Learned About My Future Husband from Lost

But one character whom I’ve liked since Season 1 of Lost is Jack Shephard. Honestly, he’s not particularly attractive. He often looks dirty, grimy, and sweaty (which is purposeful, of course, but is still a turn-off). Still, he’s my favorite character on the show because he’s unwaveringly strong.

Why I Don’t Like “Treat You Better” by Shawn Mendes

I've written about Shawn Mendes’ music once before, and I couldn’t help but address another one of his hit singles, “Treat You Better.” This song is a little dated, but it still plays on the radio. And honestly, it’s a goldmine for me—I have a lot of zingers that I could share with you about this song. Get ready to hate Shawn Mendes’ guts. (Just kidding. I’m not encouraging you hate him—just to evaluate his music with fresh eyes!)

To the Girl Who Feels Unsatisfied in Her Job

A couple weeks ago, I was tasked with a long, tedious assignment at work that has produced much frustration and discouragement in my heart. I’m so done with this assignment, but unfortunately, I can’t actually be done for several more weeks. Staring at a screen all day certainly seems bad for my physical health, but it also seems bad for my mental health. Is data verification what God truly destined for me? I believe that—at least for this season of my life—the answer is yes.

The Greatest Fear of New Authors

There’s now a checkmark next to “write a book” and “become a published author,” but there’s not yet a checkmark next to “find success.” I realize that success is a subjective concept, so here’s my version of it: being a well-known, well-loved published author. And I haven't found that success yet.

When Will My Life Begin? A Parody for Christian Single Girls

We all know that many Christian single girls go to Christian colleges to meet their future husbands. They may not openly admit that, but if you observe their behavior for a few months, you'll be able to see it. There's nothing wrong with wanting to meet Prince Charming while you're at college, and it's true that some couples do meet at college. But for the Christian single girls who go to Christian colleges and don't meet their future husbands—and I promise that this isn't as rare as it feels—I want you to know a few things.
