Back at it again with the Bookworms for you today, here we go. This has been our first full month back at school, which unfortunately has me in all English classes— so while I’m doing a whole lot of reading, most of it is not for fun. That being said, my diversity in English Literature…Read more Once in a Promised Land– A Book Review

Finding a Way Back To Balance
It’s my junior year at a school that for the past two years, I kept trying to leave every chance I got; every day I stick around, I find myself running into more reasons to stay— my people. College has been rough, I think I’m allowed to say that, but it hasn’t been for nothing.…Read more Finding a Way Back To Balance

Remembering Madeline and remembering kindness.
Old Fashioned Love– Poetry
Here's a little poetry for your Tuesday, inspired by the older poetry I've been studying in class. It's interesting to realize that most writing was about religion back then, the faith and the hope people put into a power beyond them just to get through their days and their lives. Fascinating really. But, enough of…Read more Old Fashioned Love– Poetry
The Truth about Insecurity
I'm not the most secure person-- I second-guess myself, question my talent, doubt my abilities, and undermine myself. I'm only human after all, I think we all do this more than we realize. When I published my book two years ago, I didn't think anyone would read it, let alone like anything I had to…Read more The Truth about Insecurity
How to Start Something You Don’t Feel Ready For
Without hesitation. There’s really no other way to do it. When you go into something doubting your own capabilities, what you want, what might happen… You have to jump in head first. That’s what WOW was for me this year. I’ll be honest, the summer was rough with two summer classes I willingly signed myself…Read more How to Start Something You Don’t Feel Ready For
Firefly Lane– A Book Review
On Friday, I definitely said I was going to be doing a Poetry Place post today, but I was incorrect— that's what I get for not sleeping. Still got two more weeks until Poetry Place, sorry about that. Today is for Bookworms and Bookworms only. So do you remember that book I hinted at, during…Read more Firefly Lane– A Book Review
A Little College Advice
I wanted to give you all a recap on this past week because it's something I really want to share with you-- yet, with two days left of WOW, I'm realizing I can't do a recap until it's all over. Because there are too many moments still to come. So instead, I'm going to talk…Read more A Little College Advice
Pushing the Boundaries That Need Breaking
I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time. -- Michael Phelps I made a lot of goals for my first two years of college, but I ended each grade with a changed mind and questions of whether or not I met those…Read more Pushing the Boundaries That Need Breaking
Robert Frost and an Original– Two Poems
As I head back to SLO today, I'm thinking that sometimes transparency can be a good thing. I wrote the second poem here a little bit ago to play with a new style and in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day which is September 10th; for the love of poetry, I've included one of my…Read more Robert Frost and an Original– Two Poems
