about

i'm alyssa. i write.

alyssagoesbang is where you can see my personal experiments in writing.

another place they let me write is at the twenty life. i write articles about being a girl. i don't usually know what i'm talking about.

i also write and edit articles and resources for college students, college-bound students, and their families. i, surprisingly, do know what i'm talking about. but i'm not going to make you read it because it's not very interesting and i'm not allowed to talk dirty.

i also write on random shit in public places. we call it the poetic vandalism society, and you can see it all here.

i hate saying "blog" and "blogger" to people who aren't bloggers.

i'm an enfj.

and an aries.

and a yogi.

i love apples, the new york football giants, proper grammar, inappropriate humor, and doing the right thing.

new york city is my favorite place in the world.

i love dave matthews band, lady gaga, and explosions in the sky.

most things that most people do are my pet peeves.

i swear way too much.

but, after working as a nanny for the better part of a decade, i can turn it off in an instant. this is helpful when i visit my grandparents.

i'm 22. three weeks ago someone legitimately thought i was 16. two weeks ago someone asked me if i was 31.

i hate being cold, but i love the excuse to wear leg warmers (judge me.) and drink tea under one of my hundreds of homemade blankets.

whenever people ask me where i want to be in 5 years, i have no idea what to tell them other than "peaceful." i don't have hard and fast career goals. i am a writer, currently freelancing, and in love with this industry. if i can still have some sort of role in it in 5 years, i'll be happy. i'll be on bookshelves one day, but whether that's the fiction, non-fiction, humor, essay, travel, self-help, or religion section, i still can't say. be on the lookout.

i believe that words can be at once incarcerating and transcendental.

i'm a blogger with no purpose, no platform, no agenda. i'm not a mommy, i don't craft, my cooking isn't good enough to blog about, i can barely dress myself let alone help you with it, i'm technologically impaired, and i hate talking politics with all but, like, three people i know. i just write about some things i like, and i don't write about a lot of things i like. because i said so and this is my place so deal.

i have nothing but adoration for the people who take the time to read my words here; i appreciate all of you who stop by & comment. you encourage me so much.

i love to play.

i love to love.


oh and for the love of god, if you're hiring, email me.
