Hello and Welcome

I guess I should start by introducing myself.  My name is Yamile (pronounced ja-mee-lay) and I am a crazy twenty-two year old who lives in New York City. I went to NYU for Psychology and Social Work, and left with a lot of debt and a greater respect for 'life experience' - something I think most college prone drones don't value as much as they would have you believe.  I spend most of my time daydreaming and thinking about why people behave the way that they do, because it fascinates me how most people will say and do two different things.  I like to believe I see things about people a bit more clearly than they do themselves, which is why so many people come to me when they need advice about boyfriends, work, life choices, or just to vent about a bad day.
I created this blog as a way to reach out to a larger community, because, in all honesty, I really love giving advice to people and helping them in my small (or great) way.  I've never really been one to toot my own horn, in fact most of my life it's been something of a struggle for me.  But here I am, saying flat out "I'm not perfect" but I have some pretty good ideas about a lot of things.  Each post has a little bit of advice and a lot of my own opinion about things; I am by no means right about everything.
