Less Than A Week
It hit really hard last night that at this time next week, I will be at home surrounded by all the things needing to be unpacked and brushing off the last bits of college. I held my last TA event yesterday. I brought some games and a bunch of movies based off books to provide […]
Reality is Kicking In
Reality is kicking in. Hard. I have less than a month of college left. Holy crap. It really hit home the day after halloween. I’ve been sooo busy lately that I didn’t carve my pumpkins yet. And then I was looking at my calendar for some reason and bam. Time is dwindling down. Am I […]

Busy Busy
I’ve been a little quiet of late. With running four clubs, holding 3 jobs and an internship, whilst preparing to graduate, my time has left very little room for the important things. But I make time, because it is necessary to sleep, see family, and my roommates. What has happened in the past month? I […]

Another Summer Update
This summer has been rough off and on. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve stayed pretty busy with jobs and internships, which is perfect because I love to stay occupied. However, it has also been a summer of loss. In June, I had my Great Grandmother’s funeral service. She passed away back in December during my finals, […]

A Summer Update

A Summer Read
All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater My rating: 4 of 5 stars As always, Maggie Stiefvater created a magical idea out of a mundane background. Everyone has darkness in them. A dysfunctional family helps bring it into physical form for you to combat. However, it’s not in the way you think. I enjoyed this […]
Start of the Summer
Being home for the summer is always strange. It feels like an untethering from reality. I fall back on nostalgic notions, doing chores around home and trying to spend time with family. In between hanging with family, I work on remote internships, preparing for life post-graduation. But I don’t feel completely like an independent adult […]
Surviving the Last Stretch
Motivation is key but illusive at the end of the semester. I am not someone who usually lets the end of the semester stress me too much. If you allow the semester to send you into a panic, then it’s going to annihilate you. If you remain calm and set aside moments to allow yourself […]
Bittersweet Moments
Because I am graduating in the Fall, I am already having a lot of “lasts.” Last Spring Break, last Easter Break, last Spring Fling social events, and now last Literary Awards. As these happen, I know in the back of my head that this won’t happen again, yet I don’t feel as nostalgic as I […]
