"Nothing. No ideas. Useless... empty... brain!" That quote from Big Hero 6 was how I felt yesterday. 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. Looking … Continue reading Peer Pressure

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

With my first semester of college over, I figured I would share some things I learned this semester outside of my classes, in hopes that people would find them helpful: Making friends is not difficult. I was fortunate enough to find my closest friends the first weekend since we were kinda forced together because we share … Continue reading What I Learned my First Semester of College… that did not Require a Textbook

Specifically, why I am a social studies education major. I've heard it from just about everyone. They ask what I'm studying in college, and their eyes widen in surprise when I tell them social studies education (history teaching). People usually then say, "I could never work with high schoolers," to which I reply, "I need … Continue reading Why I am an Education Major

It's almost finals week (or it is finals week for some). That means that the semester is drawing to a close. By next Friday, I will officially be done with my first semester of college! It feels like it has flown by. A lot of upperclassmen have asked me if I am stressed about finals. … Continue reading Finals…?

Reading the title, I know it sounds really bad. However, I promise it was not my fault. (I did not break or lose the phones). Let me explain. Last October, it was time for a phone upgrade. My dad took me to the Verizon store and we got me an LG G4. It worked like … Continue reading How I Went through for Four Phones in Two Weeks

Those of you that know me know that I love to read a lot. As a social studies education major, I delight in historical books, fiction or realistic. However, suddenly, things like reading seem less than stellar when I am asked to do it for a class. I lose the desire to read when it … Continue reading Book Review: Devil in the White City
