Mandatory Self-Care

This weekend I opened the wild party while simultaneously inundated with homework from my theater classes and my gen ed’s. This is stressful on my body, and yes of course, I waited until Sunday to even look at, think about, even smell my homework. When I go to classes...

Sunday Scaries

Sunday, for most people, is one of the scariest days of the week, next to the dread of mourning Monday. Sunday is the day for catching up after a weekend of socializing, it’s a preparation day for the rest of the week, and it’s a fear and anxiety inducing day because...

Honoring Your Fears

On Monday, September 13th, I start weekly rehearsals for The Wild Party at Penn State Centre Stage. I’m both excited and incredibly scared to say the absolute least. I’m fearful for a few reasons: that I’m going to fall apart once the show starts, that I’ll fall back...

Try reading this without smiling…

Ok, so ya’ll want to know the tea? Spring break didn’t happen and a lot of us are on our last few brain cells. I’m feeling more burned out than an asthmatic walking to the bathroom from their bedroom—and yes, I can joke about asthma because I do have it. Not a...

What a good energy drink looks like!

in my BISC4 class, we’re learning about the harmful effects of popular advertised energy drinks like Gatorade and Monster. What do we know about these energy drinks? That they’re high in sugar content, they’re high in caffeine, excessive in filler...

READ IF YOU WANT GOOD MUSIC

On my first summer break home from college, I spent a lot of time revisiting friends from high school. That summer was not a good summer I will say, I was in some of my worst mental health ever and I felt so alone and confused. A lot of my outings with friends really...
