How does graduating with your bachelor's degree at 19 sound? Terrifying? Yeah, that just about sums up how I'm feeling right now. As a second-year student and a senior, or seen-more, if you will, I've got my hands tied. On one, my senioritis has taken hold, and I'm ready to be done; but on the other I feel like there is still so much more to ... [Read More…]

All of the days are starting to run together and the homework keeps piling on faster, like an oven conveyor belt at a sandwich shop. I'm working on the side of the oven where the sandwiches come out, all melty-cheese and crispy bread.

It was a fully packed few days of filming, with my crew working from about 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., fueled by coffee and Jack and Jill ... [Read More…]

Day 6 (since Sing Song): I am still alive. Everyone who stood next to me at Sing Song fell ill as soon as the weekend ended. Professors were sniffling. I couldn’t pay attention in my 8 a.m. class because of the mucousy coughing. But I am still alive. How did I do it? I prioritized my immune system starting the first day of school. There isn’t one ... [Read More…]
