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 …

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, …
After sleeping off all that buttery Thanksgiving food, I headed up to Los Angeles for the weekend with he who must not be named. Friday was a bit more brisk than I'm used to in SD, but thankfully the sun was out, making it a beautiful day to explore Venice Beach and the surrounding boardwalk. …
Even though the year is almost over, these last few months have felt busier and busier. Looking back on November, there's so much to write about, but little time to share it all. I think I'm going to start going through my monthly highlights to hopefully cover events, good books, movies, pics, etc. that I …
