Tomorrow, July 22, is Summer Leisure Day. Unfortunately, like I mentioned last week, things kind of got in the way of my summer plans. However, I still have found some time to enjoy myself. This past weekend, I was able to celebrate my graduation with friends and family. It was a great time, and I … Continue reading Summer Leisure

Getting Away
I'm back! It's nice to get out of town for a week, but it's also nice to be back. The summer is wrapping up for me, and I still have a lot that I feel I need to get done. I know this summer has been so crazy different because of the coronavirus and how … Continue reading Getting Away
Now What?
In America, and maybe some other places, quarantine and lockdown is beginning to end or at least ease. Whether or not you agree with the stance your state/country/city has taken when it comes to coronavirus is not the point of today's post. What is the point of today's blog post, then, is not about how … Continue reading Now What?
The Biggest Difference Between my Middle School and High School Practicum
I'm in the last week of my high school practicum. I have been with 11th graders in high school for the past four and a half weeks. They're a lot of fun, and I am enjoying my time with them. But I don't want to talk about them today. Rather, I want to talk about … Continue reading The Biggest Difference Between my Middle School and High School Practicum
Thankfulness
Last year, I did a post on gratitude and shared what I was thankful for. (Read it: https://battlekimoftherepublic.com/2018/11/20/gratitude/). This year, it's a lot harder to determine what to write because all the same stuff rings true from last year. However, there are a few things I want to add to this year's list: Teaching- This … Continue reading Thankfulness
The Power of Friendship
I wrote a post last July about Friendships (read it here), but this has been on my mind recently. I hope this is not too much of a re-hashing of what I said six months ago, but we'll see. My friends are incredibly important to me. They support me and comfort me. Talking, laughing, crying, and … Continue reading The Power of Friendship
How it Feels to be the Worse Roommate
I have a confession to make. Actually, no. I have a statement to make. A confession makes is sound like I'm ashamed. I'm not ashamed of it. I am the worse roommate. Please don't misunderstand. 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
An Open Letter to my Friends
This coming Sunday, August 5, is Friendship Day. I know I use Valentine's Day to talk about relationships, but I've never done the same thing with friendships. So I want to change that. I know I wrote about a month ago about friendships and qualities I look for, but I've spent a lot of time … Continue reading An Open Letter to my Friends
Friendships
Friends are some of the most important people in your life. I know, for me at least, I would not be who I am today without my friends. Maybe you're like me. You're a social person, and you can make friends with just about anyone. Awesome! Or maybe you're the opposite of me, where you … Continue reading Friendships
Sibling Antics
Since I wrote about my roommate for her birthday, I figured why not do the same for my sister's birthday? I have one sibling. She and I are 5 1/2 years apart, so as you can imagine, we didn't always get along. However, now we get along great for the most part. Our relationship still … Continue reading Sibling Antics
