I'm just trying to be an adult and a kid at the same time.

[my book is better than my tweets @MichellCClark]

do not let your empathy for others drain you to the point that you no longer have the capacity to show up for yourself.

#thankyounext to the guy who told me my only purpose is procreation for renewing my motivation to study the next two weeks leading up to my PE exam. You're a dick and I'm so much more than that.

All these profiles out here saying "don't take life too seriously" but like, why tf not?

Do I date a guy with the same name as my dad and listens exclusively to the same music my ex did? It feels like a sign but I can't tell if it's good or bad.

Engineers are so easy. I asked them if anyone had woken up green day yet, and they all freaked out. Y'all this is so old and it was the first time they had heard it.

@meggyweed I beg to differ... it's just different. Some of us prefer the gooey swirl!

So it's great y'all guys want to hike for a first date, but for the hundredth time, I'M NOT TRYING TO GET MURDERED.

My boss calling our go-to geotech while on video with me: Hey sir! Uh ma'am! Geez I gendered the fuck out of that. Hey, you!

We have a cabinet full of coffee mugs at work, including one that says "World's Okayest Engineer" and if that's not the sarcastic vibe of the office, idk what is.

What does it mean when you graduate from Shinedown to Smash Into Pieces, Savage Lands, and Written by Wolves? Do I finally need to get a sleeve?

If you're gonna break your back for something, make sure it's worth breaking your back.

Both Harry Potter and I have our golden birthdays this year. Coincidence? I think not.

[Jessica Powell @Powell_17]

My body is so confused. I keep going back and forth between my arctic work environment where I wear a sweatshirt and drink hot coffee and listen to Harry Potter music to the car where I strip down to a tanktop and blast summer hits with the windows down. What season is it.

@GailSimone #MyBrag is getting my engineering degree and now I design houses. Taking a national exam in October to get my professional license and then I can stamp my own projects. It's still a tough industry, especially for females, but I'm killing it and could not be prouder.

This week sponsored by copious caffeine, pet insurance, and morally grey alt rock songs with "wolf" or "wolves" in the band name.

Half of the office has deadlines tomorrow and apparently that calls for popcorn at 930 in the morning. Like they have their own mobile popcorn stand.

Dad: I'm thinking about how I can keep you from ending up alone in a house with 10 dogs.

Me: What's wrong with that?

[Jessica Powell @Powell_17]

I'm at the point where my mom's coworker is attempting to set me up with her brother, who is 10 years older and has a daughter and a crazy ex and both my mom and I are like, well, you never know!!

[Jessica Powell @Powell_17]

The most supportive male coworker I've ever had:

Me: Wow it's so warm in here.

Him: Take off your jacket.

Me: I can't. Bare shoulders.

Him: Jessica... I will wear a tanktop tomorrow.
