They say that time flies when you're having fun, and this year… Well if nothing else, it has been an absolute whirlwind of classes, new people, far too many names, and of course, countless nights of fun to collide into what I now hold dear as the memories of my freshman year. Just like that,…Read more Farewell to Freshman Year

Here’s to the class of 2017
Last year, I wrote you a letter (If you haven't read it and want to, it's right here). This year, you get an entire blog post dedicated to you. Really, it is a very big thing, you should feel special. Because you are. Today is the day, you're graduating. Just like that, four years of…Read more Here’s to the class of 2017
How to build a life
Week 7 here at Cal Poly is over and it’s really odd to think about the fact that I almost didn’t end up at this school. Things would have been so different, from the 80 degree weather without humidity to the 4 weeks we still have left in the quarter. In all honesty, I got…Read more How to build a life
Time Flies When…
And just like that, week 6 of the quarter is now over. I would say finally, but it seems a little too bittersweet for that. We are now over halfway through our final quarter of freshman year here at Cal Poly and the atmosphere is starting to change ever so slightly. You know those moments when…Read more Time Flies When…
The Beginning of the End
Happy Cinco de Mayo, or what is actually the celebration of a battle victory from back in 1862. We are celebrating a lot today, from the beginning of May to the end of the school year. For a lot of semester colleges, this is the end of the road for their year. If you’re a…Read more The Beginning of the End
How to define Senior Year
A year ago, I was a senior in high school preparing to stare down the mouth of my final month of high school. Talk about mixed feelings. I was excited, I mean graduation was a BIG deal. The day we had been looking forward to since forever was finally catching up with us... My class…Read more How to define Senior Year
Break the Silence
Last week I talked a lot about what this month means to people, from Poetry to Autism Awareness. Though both of these are very important, if you live on a college campus or have been affected by this kind of situation, you may also know that this month raises perception to one more thing— Sexual…Read more Break the Silence
There’s No Place Like Home
I've been home for a week, and I've got to say, it has never felt so good. This week, I have done all the things I didn't have time to do over the quarter, like drawing, writing, catching up with old friends, and best of all, sleeping. I forgot what it was like to sleep…Read more There’s No Place Like Home
A Lesson Before Leaving
Maybe it's just the way time passes, but 11 weeks later, and I'm headed back home again. My finals for this quarter finished up on Tuesday and I am officially 2/3 the way through my freshman year. And they say time flies. This quarter has been quite a hard one for a lot of us…Read more A Lesson Before Leaving
Let’s talk about College
It's that time of year again, if you're part of the Class of 2017, then you know exactly what time I'm talking about— it's time to make some decisions. Even though I have two and a half weeks left in my second quarter of freshman year, I remember the stress of college decisions and acceptances…Read more Let’s talk about College
