Last year, I wrote a post entitled 20 Things in 20 Years. It can be summarized as half-way decent general life advice that resonated with me at the time. I really like that post. But let’s be real, a lot has happened since then. The past year, has been a year. My mom keeps telling …
Thoughts, Feelings, and Reflections; Looking Back and Looking Forward
By the time you are reading this, I will be on a plane heading back to school. It’s weird to write that. It’s weird to think about that. Three days after this is posted, I will be moving into campus for the second half of my junior year. This past semester went really well, academically. …
A Virtual Christmas Card- 2020
Through it all, this year has really brought into perspective what is important and what I want out of life. I hope it did the same for you and yours. Happy and safe Holidays! Hoping for the best in the New Year!
The Last Week of the Semester; Thoughts, Feelings, Reflections
Somehow, someway, we made it to the last week of the semester. By the time you are reading this, I will be on reading period. My university gives us the Thursday and Friday before finals “off” to study and work on projects. Meaning, I will be knee-deep in essays, projects, jury videos, and studying for …
This year, I am thankful for
This year I am thankful, A week-long break from school, time to relax, recharge, and recenter before finals. All the opportunities that have come my way this year, whether they panned out or not. Music, both that I am making and that has gotten me through this year. People. Friends, family, everyone that has got …
We’ve Made It Half-Way; Thoughts, Feelings, and Reflections on the Semester this Far
I think it’s about mid-way through the semester. Although, no one really knows without fall break to schedule and plan around. Mid-terms grades are due the 21, I took one mid-term two weeks ago, another isn’t until next Tuesday. Please send help. Our fall break was taken away when we all thought we would attending …
5 Years and a Few Guitars Later: A Reflection
5 years ago, September l I started playing guitar. (This also means that the 5 year anniversary of me breaking a guitar is coming up on October l, but that’s a different story) It is weird to think that I have been doing anything, on a nearly daily basis for 5 years. I mean obviously, …
A Reflective Rant
What’s that saying about best-laid plans? According to Professor Google, “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” I don’t think that’s what I am thinking of. But that’s not really the point here. It’s 2020, let’s be real, you can plan all you want but what you need to be able to …
College – Tips, Tricks, and Advice
I am currently a junior in college, in a way does that statement seem accurate. But that’s what it says on all of my forms, so I guess there must be some truth behind it. Three years ago, when I was going into my freshman year; I read a lot of blog posts and articles …
Thoughts, Feelings, Reflections; The New Semester
I am writing this a week before you will see it. At this time on Monday I will have just finished my first class of the new semester. It’s weird to think about summer coming to end, so uneventfully. It’s weird to think about how we all thought three months ago that this semester would …
Pivot!
I am writing this knowing that by the time you are reading it will either be happily looking for shoes for my fall semester, or sweat pants. I am pretty sure I know exactly what the email that will be sent at exactly 4:32 pm Seattle time tomorrow will say. I’ve read the governor’s statements, …
WwwWOooOAaaAHhhH! (We’re Halfway There!)
Yeah, that title was “cheesy” and could also be described as “low-hanging fruit”. At the same time, we are official past the halfway of this *insert adjective here* year known as the 2020th year of our lord. It’s the point in the year where we all understand the meaning of Blink-182. I believe in fostering …
