Something I’ve learned this semester is that grades are the greatest form of motivation I can get, apparently. I have had this blog since August of 2016, and I have struggled with posting on it. There have been small streaks of motivation to post, but otherwise it has been a struggle. The ideas never seemed … Continue reading What I’ve Learned this Semester

The Time I Almost Died at the Movies
Okay, to preface, the LEGO movies are so funny. I think that I prefer the first one to the sequel, but I had a better time seeing ‘The Second Part.’ Why? Because I almost died, of course. The scene starts with me going to AMC Clearfork with one of my best friends, Hannah. I used … Continue reading The Time I Almost Died at the Movies
Laughing and Learning
This semester, I have learned a lot about humor, comedy, and laughter. During crazy times, it’s good to remember that we don’t live in a vacuum where humor does not exist, though we may have to try a bit harder to find it. So here’s a list of some of the things I’ll take away … Continue reading Laughing and Learning
Musically (in)capable
Ever since I was a kid, I loved music. I would sing, try every instrument I could get my hands on, and took so much joy in hearing and playing melodies of popular songs. I had this desire to be great at music, which really isn’t in the cards for me as a person. I … Continue reading Musically (in)capable
My Favorite Childhood Cartoon Character [Assignment]
In discussion in class, I talked about how Timon and Pemba from The Lion King were my favorite cartoon characters, but at the end of class, I realized this wasn’t true. My favorite cartoon characters growing up were Donkey and Shrek from Shrek. I love the Shrek movies. I didn’t realize I loved them that … Continue reading My Favorite Childhood Cartoon Character [Assignment]

Self-Quarantine Selfie
Here’s a sweet selfie of me and my dog, Rocky. Rocky is an 11-year old yellow lab from the Rocky Mountains, hence his name. He comes from a family of show dogs, but since he was born on July 4th as the runt of the litter with a crooked tail, his destiny was not meant … Continue reading Self-Quarantine Selfie
John Mulaney & the Salt and Pepper Diner
This post is about an experience of uncontrollable laughter. It’s something I do a lot, as I’m sure I will be uploading after Spring Break the personal discovery of the Capybara that occurred yesterday. This particular incident occurred last semester during November, but the origins of it start much earlier. John Mulaney used to be … Continue reading John Mulaney & the Salt and Pepper Diner
Losing at Lent – My Past Fails of 40-Day Fasts
Today, Ash Wednesday, starts the season of Lent. 40 days and nights of fasting of some kind. Having been born and raised a Catholic, I have had many adventures of trying to complete this over the years, with limited success. In the spirit of the season, I thought I would hash out some of those … Continue reading Losing at Lent – My Past Fails of 40-Day Fasts
A Love for ‘Little Women’
I’ve found inspiration for this post after deciding that, for my Honors class this semester, I am going to write a parody of a film review that I don’t agree with for my midterm. And after much consideration and thinking about films that I have absolutely adored, I have decided on ‘Little Women’. Given a … Continue reading A Love for ‘Little Women’
