It's finals week here on campus (and at most colleges)! You can definitely tell up here on campus. I feel like everyone is at the point where they are just so done with the semester, and I am right there with them. I love Muncie, and I love being at Ball State, but I've been … Continue reading Finals

Why I Started my Blog
This week will be six months since I first began this blog. That's a little crazy to me. It does not feel like it's been that long. Some weeks, I can't wait to write (and usually write it early and schedule it), and other weeks, I haven't fully decided what I'm going to write about … Continue reading Why I Started my Blog
Life Update
I want to do something different today for my post. A lot has happened in my life the past couple of months, and instead of just having a Facebook or Instagram post about it, I figured I would put it in a blog. Well on December 13, I wrote a post titled "Why I am an … Continue reading Life Update
Owning up to Mistakes
This past week, I have been thinking about what I want to write today. I had so many ideas swirling through my head, and even more in a box on my desk that I could not really decide which one I wanted to do first. However, this morning I was definitely sure of which one … Continue reading Owning up to Mistakes
What Feminism Means to Me
On Friday, I went and saw Passengers with four friends. (I know, I know, a lot of my blog posts have started with or dealt with movies in some ways. They provide a real-world example and an easy transition.) There is a scene where Jennifer Lawrence is incredibly irate and beating Chris Pratt. A few … Continue reading What Feminism Means to Me
Security and Lockdowns
This post is definitely different than anything I've done so far, but it has been on my mind all week and needs to be shared. This post might be "controversial" because not everyone probably agrees with me. I am not wishing to offend anyone, and I apologize if that happens. Last Wednesday, campus got interesting.There … Continue reading Security and Lockdowns
Movie Review: Beauty and the Beast
(I do not believe there are any full-blown spoilers in here, but there are some details that may have been previously unknown.) I was very fortunate to go see Beauty and the Beast opening weekend. My family was actually so excited for it that our tickets were purchased a month in advance! I was so enthused about … Continue reading Movie Review: Beauty and the Beast
The Weight of Responsibility
This past week off was so great. It is a little hard to be back on campus and getting back into the swing of things. Also, even though I was on spring break, I did not get much of a "break". I was up early most days and I often had things to do. Now, … Continue reading The Weight of Responsibility
What It’s Really Like to be Away for College
This post is kinda ironic since I am on spring break this week, but it has definitely been on my mind, due to one specific reason. Last week, my high school was in sectional play for boys basketball. They were down by one, and in the final second, a senior made a full-court buzzer-beater shot. … Continue reading What It’s Really Like to be Away for College
Ten Years and Four Years
Yesterday, February 27, marked another anniversary. However, this one is infinitely better than a car accident. This one is also a much longer-running anniversary. One of Facebook's features, On This Day, lets you see what statuses you have posted or what you have been tagged in. Well, at the beginning of this month, I noticed … Continue reading Ten Years and Four Years
