Why Can’t I Just Do it Already?

I have been a writer my entire life. Writing, specifically creative writing, is one of the things I am most passionate about and is where I find some of my greatest joy. It brings me happiness, a sense of creativity, a feeling of accomplishment. So, if creative...

People Pleaser

Are you a people pleaser? Do you have a hard time saying no to things? Do you constantly worry about making sure that the people in your life are happy? Do you do all of the above? I’m definitely in the “all of the above” category, and something tells me that a lot of...

Being Open About Failure

This past week in HONOR 401, our class had the opportunity to visit the 3 Dots space in downtown State College. I really appreciated the change of setting, and I think it allowed for more creative and open thinking. Like our speaker, Spud Marshall, said to us in...

Week Two at Discovery

I’ve learned this past week more than ever that if you are given a ton of projects to do at work, the day will pass by quickly and then the week will zoom by even quicker. Though my internship with Disney was a ton of fun, there were often days that I didn’t have many...

A Lot to Discover! (See What I Did There?)

I am back again and ready to begin another blog series, this time about my third internship overall during my college career and the third internship that the PLA has so generously supported. Though it’s a lot of writing, I’m appreciative of the chance to write these...

Good Things Coming to an End

I am relating to now, more than ever, that famous quote that goes something like “how lucky am I to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard?” I just experienced my last weekend in Los Angeles, and today is my last Monday working for Disney Channel at The...

Appreciating Everything

I woke up in the cliched “cold sweat” in the middle of the night last night realizing that I only have one weekend left in Los Angeles, and yet there are so many things that I haven’t done yet and won’t be able to do in this short period of time. This panic slowly...

Loving and Living In Different Worlds

Coming back to Los Angeles this past week after spending just one weekend in State College was such a strange feeling! Not going to lie, Penn State and LA feel like two completely different worlds. I love both of them so much, and I’m more than ready to return to my...

I’m Neighbors with a Disney Channel Actress!

It’s already April, which marks the last of my months in Los Angeles. Time keeps moving quicker and quicker, and though I’m looking forward to coming back to the east coast with a lot of stories to share, I also don’t want this exciting adventure in my life to end. I...

A Big Week for Disney, A Fun Week for Katie

Every time I come back to write another one of these blog posts, I have to look back through the photos on my camera roll to remember all of the unique experiences that I’ve had over the past week. It’s gotten to the point in which it’s hard to even distinguish...
