Thoughts of a Second Semester Senior

As most students may feel during this time of their life, I too am looking forward to graduation. However, graduation isn’t the only thing on my mind but instead, of goals I have set for myself. There aren’t any in particular, but I (for some reason) feel...

I (seriously) Started My Thesis

Yep today was the day that I started to work on my thesis. Luckily, a class assignment has led me to develop my own research that just so happens to be the research I planned to look into for my thesis. I guess it took something like this to kick start my initial...

“Treat Yo Self”

I’ve never seen Parks and Rec, so I’m not sure if I’m allowed to use this title as the title of my blog post. But nonetheless, the semester is wrapping up and here I am reminded to physically take care of myself in a crazy time before Thanksgiving...

Month 1 Reflection

The beginning of a new month called for reflection in my life, especially as a leader. I’m the Vice President of Lion Scouts tour guides and for the month of September, I’ve been working hard to revamp, re-organize, and digitize our information for better...

Give Me Dignity

I watched another TED talk this week, and this one was by a younger person with a lot of understanding of how to live life. She was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth and was given a life expectancy of 10 years old. Now at 20 years old, she owns a nonprofit...

No Grit, No Glory

Wikipedia describes grit as a positive trait based on a person’s passion for a particular long-term goal, coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective. I recently watched Assia Grazioli Venier’s TED talk on “Never...
