I just read through my previous blogs to see what I was doing before I fell off the face of WordPress. It turns out that the last time I wrote was in the beginning of summer and now...summer is over in four days. WAT. Now let me rack my brain and phone for pictures to …
What's more exciting than having your best friend come visit? Having them visit on their birthday! To be fair, this is the second time this year one of my blonde best friends has celebrated their birthday here. Since Katie is super old now (just seeing if you'll read this :P), we decided to have a chill …
A few weeks ago, I made my second trip ever to the Midwest for Easter weekend. Although it's fun making new traditions in San Diego, I think that during that being with family, close friends, and the like makes the holiday feel more real. Last year, my friends hosted an Easter brunch. For some reason, …
"Do no harm, but take no shit." Back in graduate school, one of my mentors introduced me to this quote. Maybe it's the Chreaster (Christmas/Easter) Catholic in me, but I'm always surprised when I hear people in power/charge swear, so I was initially taken aback. I was also puzzled because I'd never heard the phrase before, …
Okay, so this past month hasn't been mad in the sense that there's been so much to do and so little time. It has driven me mad though since I spent about half of it sick. I'm very ready for this month to be over. It has felt like the longest stretch of time so …
I'm pretty sure I blinked and February was over. I know it's the shortest month and everything, but it was quick and packed full of events. Here's a quickish updates and some photos to recap! Girls in Politics After a relatively dreary week, I opened my email up one day to a surprise opportunity--Girl in …
This past weekend I headed to the blustery East Coast to enjoy four days of reprieve from the January slump in Washington, D.C. Prior to this trip, my only time visiting D.C. was in 8th grade. Picture an entire class of 100 and something students piled into multiple buses for a six-hour drive full of …
I've officially been a Golden State gal for a year. To say time has flown by would be an understatement. Booking a one-way ticket to California is one of the best decisions I've made so far in my life. It helped me transition from a college student, floating around into a semi-functioning adult. With the …
I'd like to think that I'm a happy, friendly, and mostly positive individual. Of course, I have my off days. Doesn't everyone? In my day-to-day life, I'm usually pretty upbeat but focused on my tasks and goals. Whether it's for work or pleasure I read often, which naturally requires concentration. If I'm studying a sign, …
While I'm fortunate enough to be living with one of my roommate's from college (Kelsey), one of my other former roommate/teammate/and best friend, Sòlene, lives all the way in France, so I don't see her as often. In fact, the last time I saw her was back in May of 2017 I blogged about it, …
