You guys, I could cry. I hate to start another post out with "ya I'm actually not dead just inexcusably BUSY" but almost a year later, here we are again. I would say a lot has happened, and for me it has, but mostly it's just college being college in that I really don't know what free time is anymore. No but in all seriousness, most of t[...]
We have finally made it to the final post recapping some of the major things I wish I would have learned and taken to heart sooner in high school, with this post specifically focusing on the things I wish I would have known about senior year. You can read parts one and two here and here, and even though these posts are all TOO LONG, they[...]
Welcome to another post recapping all the high school drama I went through! No, actually my high school years were painfully uneventful, which I suppose could be good, too. Ultimately, I know that God works everything for good, including all the loneliness and pain I felt. I started recapping the things I wish I would have known my fresh[...]
Well, it's hard to fathom that the day has come so quickly where I'm writing this post, where I'm the senior about to graduate. I still remember this post that I wrote, when I felt it was surreal how I was already the eighth-grader ready to take on high school... Wow.

Well, another long time and no writing. A lot has been happening since then, with the most notable being I’m so excited to announce that I am a Cyclone! This summer, I was able to apply for early admission to Iowa State University and I was accepted. I’m so thrilled to be getting the ball rolling there; it feels like I’ve been wa[...]
Hey everybody. I'm back from the dead. No, just kidding. Or not. Whatever. There are two things I hate doing. One is blogging on the phone. I love Squarespace's blog app - they do everything right danggit. It's just not the same, though. And I can't make my images for each post. More for the to do list. Two is blogging posts that are[...]
After an awesome week with my Gramps and Grams and cousin Amanda, I went with my good friend to shop for the weekend! We didn't get as much as we normally did, but we got what we needed and wanted most, and that was our most successful trip on those terms! Summer isn't officially over yet, but it's close. School starts soon, and m[...]
It's not easy for me at school. Fortunately, I'm doing fine with the education part, but it's the social part that's hard. It is not easy being a Christian in today's world - and actually living it out. So many kids in my school have 'Follower of Christ' or 'God Comes First' in their Instagram bios, but at school?
