Ramen Noodles, Fake Smiles, and a Degree I’m Still Paying For: Welcome to Life!


Let me get this off my chest real quick before I snap.
Everybody LOVES to talk about college like it was the secret recipe to success. “Go to school, get your degree, and your life will be set!” Yeah, set... SET UP for debt, disappointment, and a lifetime subscription to Ramen Noodles, Beef OR Chicken flavor — pick your struggle.

I swear, every time someone brings up college, the camera in my head zooms in on a dusty old scholarship application I never finished because I was too busy trying to survive off dollar menu meals and late-night cramming.
Y’all act like I wasn’t out here hustling! I’m tired of people throwing around 4.0 GPAs like that paid the light bill. BABY — a 4.0 don't keep the fridge stocked! A 4.0 just meant you knew how to smile through the struggle while eating soup you made with a stolen packet of hot sauce.

And don’t get me started on these folks who say, “You should have gotten a business degree — it’s easier!”
Oh, should I have? Should I have just pulled a degree out my pocket like a coupon at Walmart? Y’all LOVE giving advice with hindsight vision — but when Sallie Mae pulls up asking for $30K, you ain’t nowhere to be found.

You’re a thousand dollars in debt because you smiled at the wrong time, because you took ONE loan you didn’t understand when you were 18 and thought you were grown. And now look: you’re an adult arguing with your microwave because it can’t cook Ramen fast enough before your next Zoom meeting.
And people have the NERVE to call it life like it’s some badge of honor.
Nah, it’s giving “bad contract I didn’t read all the way through.”

So next time somebody say, “College is the best years of your life,”
I’mma ask them if they enjoyed it with a side of overdraft fees and broken dreams — or if they were lucky enough to actually get the meal plan that didn’t expire at 4 PM.

Because THIS?
THIS ain’t what the brochure promised.

But hey…
I guess this is what they call life.

Cue sad violin music while I stir my noodles with a pen because I lost all my forks.

🍿 Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills (minus some ladies)

🍿 Once Upon a Time in Beverly Hills (minus some ladies) RHOBH used to be about glitz, glam, drama, and personalities with something to lose — or gain. At its peak, it had chaotic friendships, sparkling wardrobes, back-room blowups, and a twisted sense of loyalty. But lately? It’s beginning to feel less like “Real Housewives” and more like “Real House-of-Cards.” And this season — with the exit of Garcelle Beauvais — might just prove it. Garcelle wasn’t just another cast member. She was one of the few who seemed to bring a bit of heart and a dash of backbone to the chaos. And yet — after five seasons — she walked. Dramatically. Without a reunion photo. Without apologies. Saying bluntly, “I’m done.” Sweetheart, same. So yes — I’m done too. 🔥 Why I’m Ready to Drop the “Housewives” Label 1. Loyalty isn’t a thing anymore — it’s a sales pitch It used to be that friendships on RHOBH were messy and flawed but lived-in. Back-stage back-ups, side alliances, shady calls, bu...

Reality TV, Redemption & Receipts: What Are You Signing Up For?

Reality TV, Redemption & Receipts: What Are You Signing Up For? When you say yes to reality TV, what are you really saying yes to? Former two-time America’s Next Top Model contestant Lisa D'Amato is speaking out ahead of the Netflix documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, and baby… it’s giving unfinished business. And if you’re someone dreaming of going on reality TV (and I know you love writing about reality shows and how to get cast 👀), this conversation matters. Let’s break this down — and ask the real questions. Why Watch the Documentary at All? Lisa says she’ll be watching the Netflix documentary — but not for nostalgia. She wants to see how the experiences are edited. That word right there: edited. Because when you film a reality show, you don’t own the narrative. The producers do. She’s concerned the stories may be “softened.” That trauma might be packaged neatly. That accountability might feel… polished. So here’s the first question: 👉 ...
