Did you know that starting on the tenth, this entire week of dates has been a set of palindromes? Take a look, they read the same way backwards as they do forward: 7/10/17, 7/11/17… 7/17/17. What a crazy life we’re living isn’t it? Anyway, that was your fun fact for the week and today I…Read more Life is like a Palindrome- But not Quite

How to “Do Good Work”
Almost two weeks back home now and I've been catching up on my reading lists little by little. By now, I've read at least 2,500 pages between about 5 books, added far too many quotes to my quote wall, and found one book that I am discovering so much in that I just had to…Read more How to “Do Good Work”
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
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…
Eighteen going on Ninteen
“And there are people who forget what it’s like to be sixteen when they turn seventeen. I know these will all be stories some day, and our pictures will become old photographs.” A week ago, I pinkie promised Nick that I would not throw him a surprise party for our birthday. So what did I…Read more Eighteen going on Ninteen
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
To This Day
But our lives will only ever always Continue to be A balancing act That has less to do with pain And more to do with beauty Back in 2013, I was a sophomore in high school and somewhere along my needs for procrastination, I found something that changed how I looked at poetry and at…Read more To This Day
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
More than a label, More than a month
I could have sworn that this quarter just began a week ago, let alone Black History Month, yet somehow there are three weeks left before these classes are over. This is my final post on the black history month subject. But that’s the thing, it isn't simply a subject to me— just because we spend…Read more More than a label, More than a month
Black Excellence
In the spirit of Black History Month, I did some writing after the spoken word performance last Wednesday. Before I knew it, pen was running on paper and this is what I had left in my hands. It's funny how you find inspiration in all the places you never think to look. This year, I…Read more Black Excellence
