27-year-old New-Yorker with insomnia in the city that never sleeps. Ironic huh?
I’m Bri a 20-something-year-old in NYC, surviving the “best times of her life” in the most interesting of ways. CupofBri is a lifestyle blog for Zillenials who don’t quite fit in with their older siblings, but still find it weird that there are people born after 2000. It’s a rough guide to surving your twenties and mainly meant to help other confused Twenty-something-year-olds during their quarter-life-crisis.
A not-so-recent college graduate stuck in very post-grad life. Apparently, the key to adulting doesn’t come packaged with your Diploma. Who knew?
I started blogging in 2014, a family member suggested it as a great outlet for when college started to feel a little less than ideal. However, between cheerleading, real responsibilities, and the lack of motivation, I found other outlets. When I got into my major I missed writing just to do so. I wrote for HerCampus, Blasting News, The Odyssey, and just about any other place that would allow me to. There was certain freedom from it that I couldn’t explain, and then, I graduated.
Surprisingly, a degree will not open all of the doors, and when those college years are over real-life starts knocking HARD. I moved back home, experienced everything from Anxiety to Imposter Syndrome and never found myself in the field I fought so hard for. I’ve worked in retail, social media, Starbucks, Hell, I’m even a Flight Attendant. Through all of this, I realized I wasn’t the only one. My friends shyed away from opportunities, experienced meltdowns, couldn’t acclimate to life outside of school, and I realized what I really wanted to do. So, I gave blogging another try.
I started taking this blog seriously at 22 and then the year 2020 came about and I used that opportunity to do a complete 180. In retrospect, 23 isn’t old at all, and sure, sometimes I have to convince myself that 25 wasn’t the end of the world, but that is what this blog is for. I am a tea-drinking insomniac, just hoping to help others on their journey to figuring it all out. How do I like my tea you ask? Well, sometimes Green, mainly Black, but always with a shot of tequila at Sunday Brunch.
Stick around for the journey, maybe we can figure out our Twenties together. If not, at least stay for the tea suggestions and a proper laugh.
