Korigans Life by Korigan Pipke2026

chapter 1 (all about me)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-03-06 14:27:29 UTC

Hello, my name is Korigan Alice Louise Pipke, yes I have two middle names, I was named after Billy Corrgan the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins and a group of mythical fairies called the Corgan fairies. I have two older brothers one is 15 years older and the other is 4 years older, so I am the youngest and the only girl, given I am the favorite and most spoiled. Growing up I had my dad and mom and both brothers around my dad struggles with addiction and has been using since before I was born he was in and out of rehab my whole life and never decided to make the change and be a good father. Despite everything I've been through, my personality rocks, and part of it is because of what I've been through. I've always been told I am very mature for my age and that left me being misunderstood by the people my age around me, I still feel misunderstood a lot of the time and like I'm weird or different because my drain works and thinks differently than my friends and partners. I've learned how to manage it and be understanding and patient with people, it still bugs me though. Now to the things I enjoy, I really like spending time with family and friends and my boyfriend of course, but I also love arts and crafts and being goofy and loud and creative, I work at Lamberts Cafe and I've been there for almost two years now and I still love it, I've been in competitive cheer for eight years, I used to love it a lot more than I do now it was my safe place from home but I'm just not as into it anymore but I'm still doing it because I do still have love for the sport. I'm a junior in high school, everyone told me the junior year was going to kick my ass and that it was the hardest year, but it's been a breeze for me, all my classes are mostly easy and everything just feels like busy work. I've kept all As all year and that's something I am extremely proud of. The moral of the story is I'm just a girl.

chapter 2 (suddenly, I became me)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-03-06 16:17:26 UTC

I was born on August 18th, at Cox Health in Springfield Missouri. I don't remember much from my childhood, I think I tried to forget most of it. I remember little things like spots in my memory, something my mom has told me is when I was born there was a mark on my chest, she started to become worried asking the doctors what it was, and they told my mom it was nothing to worry about, that it was just a third nipple. It doesn't look like a nipple more like a weird birthmark or something but it's not too noticeable. The little I can remember are memories made with my brothers and the neighbors, we had a trampoline out back for my whole childhood with a treehouse above it. Me and my brothers used to jump from the tree house onto the trampoline and see who could go the highest, my brother always beat me in every game we played. He made a game called Janecwa, it was a wrestling game, we would throw the ball in the air and see who could catch it first and then we would fight over it. Me and the neighbor kids would spend every day together climbing trees and playing in the dirt, we would make forts out of the wood laying around, and play in the hose. I wasn't allowed to wear a bikini at their house or say omg or Heck or Santa? That was because their house was VERY religious. I can remember when my brother started to drift away from me and eventually, he stopped talking to me in general, he got tired of getting told on but he would shoot me with BB guns and basically beat me up. I don't remember having any family dinners or holidays or trips or anything of that nature. We did have them but they never felt like a real family it was almost like my mom, me, and my brothers were a family, and my dad was just the angry man living with us. The one good memory I still hold on to about my whole family is Christmas time, every year we would make perogies and have family dinner, we still make perogies every Christmas just without my dad. My grandma moved to Ozark to live closer to us recently and my soon-to-be stepdad moved in, so family events feel full and loving now, I couldn't be more grateful for the family I have now and the amazing time we spend together.

chapter 3 (my favorites)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-03-06 16:44:02 UTC

I have a lot of favorite things, my favorites change all the time though. My favorite color at the moment is purple, it was green when I was 16 and my stepdad and mom got me a green 1999 Toyota Camry, my car is another one of my favorite things I covered the inside with pink seat covers and I have an army of toys stuck to my dashboard. My favorite food is pancakes it has been pancakes for a while, I have the biggest sweet tooth out of everyone I've met, but I really love steak and ribs and pretty much all kinds of meat as well. My favorite sport is cheer, duh, I don't really enjoy watching sports it's boring to me, I was in school cheer for about two weeks and it was so different compared to competitive cheer and the girls were not the nicest so I quit before the first game. I can't say I have a favorite person I love all of the people closest to me more than life itself, but if I had to choose it would be my boyfriend he is my favorite person, he makes me feel safe, and being with him is the only thing that makes my mind stop racing, seeing him and hanging out with him is the only breath of fresh air I have in my life at the moment. Another one of my favorite things is being creative, I love to paint and draw and make crafts when I have the chance, I also love to bake and cook, creating things for others to enjoy makes me happy. My favorite brand is Vans, I have been wearing vans for years, I can remember my first pair of vans and how much I loved them. They were a black pair of normal hightop vans with a white stripe and little white skulls covering the sides, I wore those shoes every day for a little over a year and a half until they were completely ruined and I had to retire them. My favorite season is summer it holds all of the best memories and it's when I'm the happiest. I wouldn't say I have a favorite type of music because I listen to almost everything, my all-time favorite song is Numb by Linkin Park, I could talk about music for hours it is one of my most favorite things in this world. That's only a small sliver of my favorite things, but that's a good stopping point.

chapter 4 (before I was, there was.)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-04-08 15:24:13 UTC

I don't know much about my family tree, what I do know is that both my parents are from Minnesota. They were both born and raised there and moved to Missouri together around 25 years ago. My dad is adopted, so there's not much I know about his side of the family, but he did have a DNA test that resulted in him being part Swedish, so I guess I'm part Swedish. That's all I'm aware of, though. I also don't talk to my dad or my dad's side of the family, but I see most of my family from my mom's side every couple of years. They all live about 9 hours away, but I love seeing my grandma's sisters and cousins. A lot of my family that I see most often are just really close family friends, so I call them my aunts and cousins. That's all I know about my family tree.

chapter 5 (I grew up here)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-04-08 15:35:35 UTC

My family and I have only lived in one house since I was born besides when we moved out for a couple months because of my dad, but for the most part I have only lived in one house, We still live there now and it is filled with so many memories good and bad. Our house is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom average home. I don't remember much of my childhood, but I can remember going over to the neighbor's house every single day. We would play in the hose and make mud pies we would build forts with wood laying around, we would roll down the valley in their backyard, we would go on bike rides and sled in the winter. When I was starting my teenage years the Dennys moved in up the street, that's when I started doing cheer miss Kelly was always so sweet and cared so much for everyone who was inher daughters lives she has 3 daughters and they are the ones who taught me most about cheer they tougth me how to stunt and tumble and they suggested I be on an actual cheer team with them. I remember the things I did around my house and in the neighborhood, but not much from my home. My house now is a peaceful, happy, safe place now that I love.

chapter 6 (family story)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-04-15 15:06:37 UTC

I was at work one night draining the oil from the okra frier, and the pan in the bottom was filled with crumbs from the night before, so when I went to drain the oil, it spilled over right onto my foot. It soaked through my shoe and sock and gave me second-degree burns on my toes. About a week or so later, my stepdad was taking me somewhere, and we stopped at Kum and Go. I went to the little medicine isle and grabbed the only cream that said it helped with burning. When I went to the cashier he was looking at me funny but I didn't think anything of it and I got my things and went back to the car, when I got in my step dad kinda got quite so to break the silence I told him I got cream for my burnt foot and he busted out laughing. The burn cream I grabbed was preparation H a butt hole cream clearly I didn't read the packaging close enough before I bought it and that explained the look the cashier was giving me. Casey thought it was so funny, and he made sure to tell everyone he saw for the next couple weeks. I was so embarrassed that I didn't go back to that Kum and Go for weeks after.

chapter 7 (I'm really in love this time)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-04-15 15:24:06 UTC

About 7 months ago a kid I have on snapchat posted Craig on his story for his birthday with his at attached I added him because I thought he was super cute when he added me back we hit it off right away about 3 weeks into talking I was at goodwill in Springfeild and I asked him if I could come by and meet him for the first time he agreed and after that I continued to come see him for the first month we were talking we would just hangout in my car because he was scared to tell his parents because of past circumstances. He finally asked me to be his girlfriend and told his parents about me, after that I was over at his house every week and it's still the same now I see him at least twice a week and I couldn't be more happy in my relationship. In the beginning, my mom wasn't very fond of the idea that I was at a boys' house all the time, and she thought I was looking through rose colored glasses and giving him too much grace and attention. She thought that I was putting way more effort into our relationship than he was, but she finally came around. I love Craig more than anything. he is the only person I feel like I can talk to, and he makes me so happy, and my mom sees that now and is happy for me.

chapter 8( lets take a vacation)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-04-15 15:32:37 UTC

My idea of a vacation is going to summit. Summit is the biggest cheer competition of the year it's in Orlando, Florida, and you have to earn a ticket to be able to go. I've been in cheer for 8 years, and for 5 of those years, I have gone to summit. Most people take an extra couple of days before or after the competition to go to Disney, but I've been 5 times, and this year we are going to the beach instead. This is the only vacation I can remember ever going on, but it's always the best time, and it's always just me and my mom it's my favorite time of the year and it's the only vacation we have time for. The competition is one day, Saturday, and if you qualify, you make it to day 2, which is Sunday. We always take a couple of extra days after the competition to go to the parks. Like I said, we are going to the beach this year, and I can't wait.

chapter 9(if I could live my life all over again I would)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-04-24 15:19:58 UTC

If I could live my life over again, I would probably try to find a way to get my dad out of my life sooner, or I would punch all those kids in the face that bullied me, like my mom told me to. I would also fight for some of my friendships harder and not get so upset as often. One of the biggest things I would change if I could do life over would be to keep the relationship with my brothers and hold onto it as tightly as possible. My brothers and I used to be so close, and we would spend time together all the time, but as both of them got older they wanted to get away from my mom as fast as possible, now I understand why but when I was young I just wanted my brothers around and now we hardly talk to each other I see them on holidays but otherwise I don't hear from them. I love my life, and overall, I wouldn't change a single thing that happened in my life. Everything that's happened to me, every cause and effect, and every lesson learned made me the person I am today, and I wouldn't change a thing about myself.

chapter 10(glimpse into my future)

koriganpipke2026 — 2025-04-24 15:40:07 UTC

For my future, I want to start by graduating from high school. I only have one year left, and in my senior year, I'm taking all fun art classes. After high school, I want to start serving at Lambert's. While serving, I want to find a tattoo shop and start apprenticing to become a tattoo artist. For my future career, I want to be a tattoo artist the most, but if that doesn't work financially, I want to go to cosmetology school or esthetician school to learn to wax and do facials, hair, and nails. While building my career, I want to get my own place. I want to start with living in an apartment maybe with my boyfriend maybe not. Then I want to buy my own house eventually, I'd like to be married by 30, and I'd like to have kids before I'm 35. I am scared to be an old parent, and I want to start my life so that when I retire, I can travel. I still haven't decided if I want to have kids yet. I've thought about only having pets and adopting kids and having kids of my own, but I have no idea what the future holds, and my wants may not happen, but I have faith that my future will make me happy.
