Days go by

“Days go by, I can feel them flying like a hand out the window in the wind. The cars go by, yeah it’s all we’ve been given so you’d better start living right now… We talk about tomorrow, then it slips away.”  -Keith Urban, Days Go By
Today I registered for the final semester of my [...]

The last first day freakout

Today another year of college begins. If all falls into place as it should, this is the last year for me.
Should I be excited? Or terrified? I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. But apparently I’m growing up all the same. Life doesn’t stop to wait for you to figure [...]

Colorado, Paris, and the trappings of life

I feel that lately I’ve been hurtling through life at 110 mph nonstop. Days and weeks fly in a blur, tomorrow instantly becomes yesterday. News piles up. Deadlines come and go…things get neglected.

Unpacking Memories

Unpacking boxes that my mom got out of storage recently has unearthed a plethora of blasts from the past.
I found a lot of my old stuffed animals. Ringo the raccoon, “pretty baby” the cloth doll (made for me by my great aunt when I was a baby and named when I was a toddler), and Tom [...]

New Year’s Resolutions (are dumb)

“Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”- William Faulkner
Sitting in my room wrapped in a blanket, listening to music and sorting through some of my favorite quotes, I feel depressed. Not really depressed. Just…down. And reflective. If I did New Year’s Resolutions, now would be [...]

Damsel in distress? More like Eowyn, give me a sword!

“Gotta find me a future, get out of  my way. I want it all. I want it all. I want it all. And I want it now! …It ain’t much I’m asking, if you want the truth. Here’s to the future, hear the cry of youth.” -Queen, I Want It All
Thanks for the battle cry, [...]
