Weekly Report

This week, I’m going to use a blog format I really enjoyed from someone else in PLA. It’s called Weekly Report, where I’ll share what I read, ate, played, obsessed over, recommended, and treated myself to throughout the week. It’s a fun way of summarizing...

Finding Clarity in the Crowd

My reflection this week is based on a crucial conversation I had in the silliest of places: a concert. Yesterday, I had the privilege of seeing the one and only, Drake, live from the BJC! Little did I know that by seeking a fun experience with friends, I would leave...

A Spring Abroad

This Spring Break was a dream come true. Throughout the semester, it becomes easy to centralize our aspirations and lives around our academics which makes breaks so much more important. I believe our academic breaks must be used to relax, heal, and put ourselves...

¡ THON !

Happy THON everyone! This year has been my first year being involved with THON! Last year, I was able to attend the Danceathon for a few hours and it was one of the most groundbreaking experiences I have ever lived. Being a part of a movement much bigger than myself...

The Reality of FOMO

Throughout one of my new endeavors in college, I’ve been tested personally and professionally to the extent that I have had to reduce the amount of extracurriculars that I am a part of. This week I have experienced the depths of FOMO and it has truly taken a toll on...

Perseverance

One of my longest and most profound wishes my whole life has been to be a sister. Due to growing up a single daughter and my challenges with my accident, I grew up rather rapidly because I was always surrounded by adults. I don’t regret a single moment in my life...

Be the Underdog!

I feel like it’s human nature to compare your past and your present while aspiring for the future. If you don’t compare who you are to who you were, how can you see the growth you’ve done? The thing with my theory is that it’s flawed because I don’t know...
