goodbye 2025!
Hello friends! Hard to believe it’s almost that time again to reflect on all of our choices from the past year and then make a list for all of the choices we intend to make next year (definitely NOT to forget about it within 3 weeks). Just kidding… kind of! Jokes aside, 2025 has definitely…

a long overdue update :>
To my 6 beloved readers, I apologize for falling off the face of the earth for the entirety of my first semester! I have some jumbled thoughts, they are still quite jumbled, and perhaps over the upcoming weeks of winter break I will reorganize them… for now, I’ll just share them as they are, along…

a birthday to remember:)

new hobbies and a beginner’s mindset

The saying “the days take forever but the years fly by,” really does hold true. Reflecting on these past few months, I have had a really wonderful summer with so…

on the other side of the open mic
In the same lines of my recent “daring to try” post, I’ve been doing my best to try new things and take some risks. With this, I am happy to say that I recently did something that my past self would have probably (metaphorically) died at the thought of — participating in a poetry open…

daring to try
This morning, I went on my very first group cycling ride — something that I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time, but hadn’t ever acted on. As someone fascinated with this sport, but totally lost on how to “enter” the community, I’d been resorting to cycling alone. I love cycling as a…
