You know what's really cool? Seeing yourself make progress and accomplish things you never thought you could do! When I started college three years ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do besides be a history teacher. Then I found out we had to add concentrations. I took geography, psychology, and sociology my … Continue reading Accomplishments and Progress

10 Tips from a TA
This is my third semester being a TA for an introductory history course. I did a post last year around this time called "Advice from a TA" (read it here).

Surviving the First Week of a New School Year
Starting a new week of college is a crazy experience! There is so much to do, see, and learn. People often refer to the first week of classes as "Syllabus Week," because professors often go over the syllabus in the first couple of days of the semester. Most of the time, professors try to ease … Continue reading Surviving the First Week of a New School Year

I'm not a bad roommate, but comparatively, I am the worse roommate. For starters, I am messier than my roommate. … Continue reading How it Feels to be the Worse Roommate

Well now that I'm officially no longer a teenager, I figured it was an … Continue reading How to… Adult
Writing Advice
It's Week 2 of my advice month! I'm almost a little sad that there are only four weeks in a month, because I have so much advice I want to give! But that being said, I need to narrow it down to what I think is the most useful. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how … Continue reading Writing Advice

Happy September! I'm about to start my third week of school, and there are people who just started this week. That's crazy to me! But I love September! In fact, it's my favorite month!
