Back in 2009, there was a popular song that came out called “I love College” by Asher Roth. The first two lines of the chorus are “I love college, I love drinking…” Back then I thought it was funny, as if alcohol and college were supposed to go together. Then I came to college and…Read more Blurred Lines and Good Times

Two Myths and a Lie: The American Dream
Week five of my college experience has now come to an end and it is unbelievable to me that it has felt like five days and five months at the same time. Anything but five weeks. I know that this is college and we are all here to get an education, but this is so…Read more Two Myths and a Lie: The American Dream
All in Good Time
Now that the second full week of October has almost passed, people are gearing up for what I can say is oftentimes the most social time of year, the time that I know everyone is looking forward to— the holiday season.

Last week Friday, I walked (skipped) out of my final day of work at Kohls incredibly excited to have an entire week off from work. I had so much planned, most of which included my book signing, sleeping, playing music, hanging out, and reading, because it was my last week in Folsom and I wanted…Read more The Art of Letting Go

Back in 2012 when the song "Little Things" by One Direction came out, I remember thinking of all the people I cared about and the small things they did that I loved about them. I also remember thinking of all the things I have done for people, of how small some of them were. A…Read more A Little Goes a Long Way

How were the wheels supposed to keep…Read more How to ride a bike
To be or not to be Enough
I was going to write a sentimental blog post tonight about everyone starting school back up again, friends leaving for college, and the next generation embarking on their journey into the real world but...
