I struggle big time with fully putting myself out there.   “Putting out” to me means walking through life with my true self at the helm. (And not the sexual innuendo, although I’llContinue reading

    Something’s in the air right now! RIGHT?!   A sticky sweet something that’s driving everyone insane, wanting to pull their hair-extensions out, quit their corporate jobs, move to a faraway island and marryContinue reading

    Change isn’t easy. It’s not meant to be. Just like working out, without pain there’s no gain.   And look, sometimes you have to look at your flabby mid-section and admit you’ve beenContinue reading

    Without knowing what we want our lives to look like, we may never see our dreams come true, or our lives change in the ways we pine for. Scary!   So what now?Continue reading

  I’ve just returned from 10 days in the most beautiful Caribbean island of Grenada. Tan, toned, but not without a heavy heart.   Goodbye’s have never been easy for me. In High School, I’dContinue reading

    I’m gonna get a little personal. See, for as long as I can remember, I’ve been the kind of girl who just ‘went with it.’   I go with the flow! I’m open-minded!Continue reading

  Your 20s are hard. You’re a half-human, fumbling your way towards the promise of maturity and wisdom, tracking sh*t through the house because the piles are everywhere, unavoidable.   But with every mess I’ve made,Continue reading

  As an amateur dater, I’ve oftentimes found myself in relationships I wasn’t ever supposed to be in from the start. Relationships with men who were not in the least bit compatible with me, but who made myContinue reading

  Your 20s force you to picking your “focus” for life, which is insane! You’ve hardly picked a sexual orientation let alone a vocation to do forever. As someone who struggled with her own path, I’ve managed toContinue reading

    I can’t intellectualize turbulence. As much as I try to meditate on “let it go, you have no control, the pilot knows what he’s doing…unless he’s Denzel, but he’s not — you sawContinue reading

    A large part of your 20s is reminiscing about the younger years.  I recently caught up with some camp friends, and if you’ve ever gone to sleepaway camp, you understand the importance of those formativeContinue reading

  As I mature into my late-20s, I find more and more of my obscure pet peeves coming to the uneven surface. What was once acceptable flirtatious behavior has suddenly become eye-gougingly annoying.   AndContinue reading

  My 20s are solely dedicated to experience. I’ll try anything once, and dating someone shorter twice. But something that my 20s has personally proven is that sometimes the very activity you renounced as aContinue reading

    Guys! Today is the official ONE YEAR anniversary of SILIMT! Here are some of our most memorable reviews:   “Funny & Witty….A must-read for all ages!” – The Beverlywood Exponent   “A poignantContinue reading

  WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! A big coffee-cracked out congratulations to ERIN DAVIS for her insanely well-thought out and professionally executed coffee photo-collage. Erin deserves $200 in free coffee just to compensate for her time, effort, and supplies. (YouContinue reading

    Figuring out whether the person you’re best friends with, seriously dating, or blood-related to is truly good-natured can be tricky. People always put their best foot forward at first, and hold back theirContinue reading

  It’s our first ever SILIMT CONTEST!!!!   Mainly because we’re broke, and can’t afford to give stuff away.   But luckily the generous and swanky AHARON COFFEE & ROASTING CO. has not only beenContinue reading

    You’re probably worried about me. I would be. My last blog was all about starting fresh for the new year, and now it appears as though I’ve thrust myself into the midst ofContinue reading

    A milestone event with the prerequisite of either great success or an engagement ring is the half-anticipated mostly-dreaded masquerade of what have you accomplished since Senior year superlatives, aka your 10 year HighContinue reading

    In your 20s, one of the few things more elusive than your G-spot is your whereabouts on the sliding scale of human sexuality.   What tends to happen is sometime during your teenageContinue reading

    It’s no surprise that girls don’t ALWAYS love their fellow female. Especially in their jealousy-prime— their 20s.   Since your 20s are a real foundation-setting stage of life, overcoming jealousy is a real bitchContinue reading

    Your 20s are full of mistakes — from awful corporate career moves, to getting married out of college. Just so many errors.   When you’re facing a daunting decade of the inevitable pitfalls,Continue reading

    Part of growing up is picking a cell phone plan for yourself. Something stylish and sleek. Something that says I wanna talk, but not to a loser. Something smooth, not pretentious.   IContinue reading

    Your 20s are like unsafe roller coaster rides — the old wooden ones where you could die, or get some serious whiplash.   No one comes off a 20s roller coaster completely unscathed —Continue reading

  It’s absurd to expect to truly LOVE anything within a few months of knowing it, yet somehow we are expected to declare true love to our significant other within days.   Those three wordsContinue reading

  Every woman in her 20s has to learn to confidently deliver white lies. Don’t fight me on this. You’re still a good person.   As I navigate(d) the art of dating around, I hadContinue reading

  I changed my first diaper when I was nine years old, because my generation actually knew how to interact with fellow members of the human race (sans a personalized reminder to put the newestContinue reading

  Above all else, I believe your 20s is about learning how to be yourself.   Just like every chick in her 20s, my sense of self is determined by how much boys like me.Continue reading

  I’ve always admired the disgusting couples who look like they’ve been having fun since the day they met in middle school 20 years ago. You know who I’m talking about. Those two gushy lovebirdsContinue reading

  I hate it when someone answers my “wait, how old are you?” with  “guess!”   I’m not guessing. I know better than that.   Especially when my age-radar is faultier than my ‘99 Acura.Continue reading

  Your 20s are filled with distractions — roommates nudging you to skip class in favor of spiked 7-11 slurpies on the bell tower grass, or multitasking several crushes while dating your high school sweetheart,Continue reading

    As humans, with one of the most inconvenient anatomies of any creature on the planet, we have to quickly learn to mask some of our more embarrassing tendencies. As babies, it’s totally normalContinue reading

GUEST BLOG: Becky Garcia “Humorist” I’m not a professional alcoholic. I am, however, a Good Time Connoisseur. Maybe you like to drink, but I LOVE to drink.  And though it may seem like a silly thingContinue reading

At the start of my 20s I thought that any toad could be magically turned into Prince Charming. I would date the dumb jocks for months at a time, thinking I could teach them intoContinue reading

Like every great sport, there’s training involved. And I’ll admit, I had no idea how to play the game of showing the right amount of cleavage to my benefit at first. But that’s what growingContinue reading

As a rule of thumb — I’ve never found there to be ONE correct response to pain, loss, or anything for that matter.   When my hamster died in 4th grade, my instinct was laughter.Continue reading

Attempting to land a job is a bunch of crap. The whole process is wildly unreasonable and outdated.   An in-person interview with a stranger? Even Tinder allows you to see if you at leastContinue reading

A monumental milestone of my 20s was when I turned 18 and started binge drinking. By the time 21 rolled around, I was a professional.   Which made the subsequent milestone (age 24) that muchContinue reading

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much heContinue reading

Severing toxic ties with a soul-sucking friend is almost tougher than quitting eating late-night.   You know what I’m talking about.   It’s seemingly impossible to ditch that friend who talks non-stop about their personalContinue reading

It’s not that relationships ever get easy, but they’re definitely a nightmare in your 20s. You’re naked in a dark maze with slimy walls, groping for the realization that maybe one day you’ll get marriedContinue reading

My glorious 20s have thus far taught me that the best way to win, tax-free, in any predicament, is to blame it all on PMS. The rest is just commentary. If everyone knew how toContinue reading

The first Mojito I ever paid for myself. I know what you’re thinking. She bought her own drink?!?!?! This girl must have some real self esteem issues. Why wouldn’t she just wait for a guyContinue reading

How is Stevia not a food group? Right?   As a 20-something young person, I’ve found it difficult to transition from penniless student to a real adult.   Adult (noun): one who does not stealContinue reading
