Good evening This week has been hard on me. I don't really see the point of getting into it, especially since this is going to be my first post in almost a year, but a lot of it stems from me not doing the things that I want to do. One of those things, for … Continue reading Jump
Big Life Changes
Hey, it's been a while huh? So big news! I graduated college! That's a pretty big deal! Honestly, college was the longest, wildest, most life-changing experience I've ever been through. These past three and a half years deeply changed me as a person. I learned so much about myself and my role in the... universe? … Continue reading Big Life Changes
Why I love historical cities
I recently had the opportunity to visit Savannah, GA (again!) Now, if you know me, you'll know that Savannah is one of my all time favorite cities in the continental United States. And basically the biggest reason for that is that it is a big old, beautiful, historic city. Savannah was founded in 1733, 285 … Continue reading Why I love historical cities
Summer Internships
This summer I've had the opportunity to participate in not one, but two internships, based locally in my hometown. I am incredibly lucky to be blessed with the network I have, without which I wouldn't have either opportunity. I love both of my internships because they are both directly related to the career that I … Continue reading Summer Internships

Lesson One: Be Kind to Yourself. Chances are you are your own worst critic. I know for sure … Continue reading Being Kind
Melody Monday
I'm going to try this thing where I make thrice weekly posts, but I'm notoriously bad at keeping a schedule. Mondays I'm going to talk about music because I'm a bit of a music snob and I'd love to share what I've been listening to lately! Hope you are all having a good Monday, if … Continue reading Melody Monday
The Only Way Out is Through
Being an adult means doing things you don't want to do. That's been a hard truth to come to terms with. Especially when doing things you don't want to do means tackling your fears head on, which is something I've had to do weekly this semester. And I know logically that I'm not actually climbing … Continue reading The Only Way Out is Through
On: Technology and Unhappiness
I recently read an article that said, "Teens who spend less time in front of screens are happier — up to a point, new research shows" Which got me thinking. Sure, that jibes, in fact I would almost come to expect it. Some of my happiest moments are definitely not tied to my phone. For example, Christmas … Continue reading On: Technology and Unhappiness
