Can I ask a serious question? Why are a lot of people in this generation so obsessed with labels? Whether it is clothes, shoes, accessories, or even just people in general, I know so many people who are fascinated by labels. I don't get it. I find pleasure in not fitting in any one category. … Continue reading Brand Names and Labels

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!! Or, if you're against Valentine's Day, then Happy Single's Awareness Day! Since I know love is on everyone's mind today, why not talk about it? Even though it is not on social media, I know most of you know that I have been dating the same guy for a year and … Continue reading Relationship Advice

Over the weekend, a few dorms on campus were open for touring before next year's housing applications become available. Because my friends and I were curious and because we had nothing better to do on a Saturday, we went through three dorms. Two of the dorms seemed more like hotels than dorm rooms and the … Continue reading Contentment and Challenges

This is an important day for me (which is why this could not wait until Tuesday). One year ago today, I was in a car accident. This is my story: I was driving home after being with some friends from church, helping them work on a project. I was driving north on US 31 (in … Continue reading One Year Later, One Year Stronger

I've always been told I'm mature for my age, and I can't help but agree. A lot of people my age like to party and get drunk, and frankly that's just not me.

Once I returned to my dorm after my classes, I was trying to think of ideas I could use to write on my blog. It wasn't that I didn't have any ideas (I have quite a few, including … Continue reading Writer’s Block

My weekend started out just like every other: dinner with my friends, then attending the free movie on campus every Friday night. However, this was not my normal style of movie and I was unsure about it. I went ahead anyway because my friends were going, and I did not have any better-sounding options.

It feels good to be back on campus. Don't get me wrong: I absolutely loved being home and the three weeks I had back in Indianapolis were excellent. I enjoyed sleeping in and seeing family and friends. However, it is nice to have a routine again. Nevertheless, I will say that on Sunday, I was … Continue reading Back to School

Yes, you read that right. It says revolutions not resolutions. Resolutions, in my opinion, have a negative connotation. People set resolutions for themselves, and then most of them get broken in a couple of weeks or months. So, that being said, I have a challenge for you here in 2017. I am setting "revolutions" for myself … Continue reading New Year’s Revolutions

This topic has been on my mind a lot recently, so why not write about it? I'm not going to lie: it is kind of terrible to be a millennial teenager at times. We are bombarded with so much media and headlines. I do not think a day goes by where we do not hear … Continue reading Self-Worth
