If you can’t tell by my uncharacteristic tardiness and unorganized posting of blogs this summer, I’ll let you know that my life has been too full to handle recently. Unfortunately, for you as a reader, it’s not going to get better anytime soon. But for me as a young adult trying to make my way... Continue Reading →
The Social Media Mentality
I feel like every time I go out of town, the news world blows up. Awful things happen. #AltonSterling #PhilandoCastile #Dallas Weird new trends pop up. #PokemonGo And I’m off in La La Land with little attention paid to my social media feed and even less attention to traditional news sources.

Watching Kid’s Movies as an Adult
Over the last week, I somehow watched an uncharacteristic number of children’s movies. And that was without the influence of any children. After viewing all of them though, it had me thinking about how different it is to watch children’s movies as an adult. Sometimes the jokes aren’t as funny or they seem too immature...

When You Have No Internet at an Internet Conference | VidCon 2016
VidCon is one of my all-time favorite experiences. Its 7th conference in 2016 was my 5th time attending, and I can’t see myself changing my annual West Coast excursion anytime soon.

What Happens When You Cry At Work
I cried at work today. In the CFO’s office, no less. It was not a proud moment. In fact, once I started crying I couldn’t stop. The tears just kept coming even though, mentally I knew I 1.) needed to stop and 2.) understood the reality of the situation and how I DIDN’T need to... Continue Reading →
An Open Letter to the Captain Hook Haters
Season 5 on Once Upon a Time has been an interesting one. Rather than exploring new characters or settings in a way that drives the story forward, Camelot and the Underworld were somewhat relegated to backdrops for the drama of the core Once characters to unfold. In Season 5A, we went to Camelot where Emma... Continue Reading →
26: Growing Up or Growing Old?
Being 26 is weird. Twenty-five was a scary milestone for me as you might have seen in last year’s blog post because I felt like it was a point in my life where I should have something figured out (if not everything). It’s a time in your life when half the world is telling you... Continue Reading →
