I don't know what it is about January, but it truly feels like the longest month ever. In college, September was that month for me. I'd always scream-sing "wake me up when September ends" to my roommate because it felt like it dragged on forever and was usually a pretty miz month for some reason …

I’d also argue that finding friends is more difficult than dating. At least with dating, you can kind of sense whether the other person is interested in you and if you’re interested in them. With “friend dating” (frating? I’ll workshop that one later), you might have no freaking clue.
A lot can change in a year is an understatement, especially when I look at my last year and everything that happened. So what have I been doing since the end of 2021 and almost the entirety of 2022? Imagine a TLDR (too long didn't read) version, but blog style since this platform is still …
Months ago, through tears pouring out my eyes, I cobbled together a sticky note on my computer, trying to express what I was feeling.

I will admit that am impatiently awaiting Spring and the return of the sun. Hopefully this will be my …
January officially marked my first year in Portland. Since starting this blog, I have lived in Spain, New York City, England, Italy, San Diego, and now Maine! It has been a crazy five years, but I am grateful that I've been able to experience so many amazing places—and even the not so great. I'm not …
In just a few days, my Euro trip—along with thousands of other travelers—has come to an end. I’ve gone from country to country where borders are closing and entire communities are going under lockdown to prevent the further spread and destruction of the Coronavirus.I’ll admit that initially I didn’t understand the severity of the virus …
It's 9:00 PM in Prague and ironically I'm not out enjoying the beautiful city. Instead, I'm sitting around the kitchen table in the hostel with a girl from Japan and two Canadians who are all trying to figure out their next destination.
