They don’t agree on anything, they’re always bickering…even though we live together, we don’t do anything as a family because they’re not getting on.

Are you allergic to small talk? Do those awkward silences feel like they last for ten years and make you want to pull off your own ears? Does your brain start throwing random suggestions at you of things to say, each more ridiculous than the last? Part of becoming a social butterfly is knowing how

Ugly girls are a bit like unicorns and the troll that lives under your bed in that they only exist in our minds. Do you only take pics on Snapchat because you are horrified at the thought of sharing an unfiltered selfie? Do you think all of your friends are way prettier than you? Are

In 2012, a few months after sitting my Leaving Cert, I ended up in a course and a university that I hadn’t planned on being in. Three and a half weeks in, I ended up dropping out and moving back in home until I could start again a year later. I took it extremely hard
