I’ve got one week…
…to complete the following list. One month after I turned 23, I set 10 goals for myself for the year. Let’s see how I’ve done: Finish writing that post I’ve been mentioning for months. Never happened…not even close. Finish at least one piece of fiction I’m currently working on. Worked on them more, but didn’t finish. [...]
Goals for my 23rd year
It’s a pretty straightforward title. Here they are: Finish writing that post I’ve been mentioning for months. I’ve started it but I haven’t really done much with it for two months (no joke). Finish at least one piece of fiction I’m currently working on. I’ve got three in the works. One is almost done. I’m [...]
Unblocked
Tick…tock…tick…tock… That’s all I can hear, echoing inside my head. because the screen is no longer blank. A gong to the temple I call my brain, with nothing to drown it out.

No Apologies
No Apologies Not that sweet, but still pretty short. Without straying: Not to be underestimated. A quirky personality and easily frazzled, but not one to back down. Size has nothing to do with it. Size has everything to do with it. Not always thinking before speaking or taking action but ready to [...]
I’m graduated! Now what?
So last week my career as a college student at the University of Washington came to a bittersweet end as I graduated (Thursday, Department of Communication; Saturday, UW). Starting out as a freshman back in 2004 (good lord, has it really been four years?!), I didn’t really know where I was going or what I would be doing. [...]
The impact of technology on our lives through song and spoken word
This quarter has been all about how technology is taking over traditional newsrooms and extending it out into the general public. I got a little curious about how technology is affecting people in other places besides the newsroom. So, being the typical college student, I went on YouTube to see what I could find.
