The Value of Routine

I am someone who really values routines.  Whether it is celebrating a holiday or doing the same actions every morning, I find that routine has become even more important to me during a time of uncertainty. At the beginning of the pandemic, I found myself so thrown out of my routines that my mental health

An Ode to the One Direction Fashion Show

For as long as I can remember, creativity has taken a forefront in my household.  I had the best birthday parties growing up. My parents are notorious for creating amazing gatherings, a manifestation of their innovative minds. Our family created storylines which influenced decor, attire, food, and activities. The most memorable of my birthday’s to

Weekend in my life: getting vaccinated and other activities

This is my second try at vlogging… I only said the word excited twice this time and added periods in some of my spoken sentences. Thank you to everyone who let me record them. I am very thankful for the vaccine and all the people working to produce and distribute it. Enjoy! Some links: Saint

I Learned How to Read Again…

Quarantine helped me rediscover my love of reading.  When I was younger, I used to speed read up to two books a day. Trips to the library were a constant and it certainly made my parents happy. After spending several months at home, I forced myself to try and read one book per month. As

The Brand Behind the Branding of Me

My wardrobe is a walking advertisement for Outdoor Voices. Outdoor Voices (OV) creates workout clothing and accessories for recreational activities. Not only do I love their products, but I also love their brand messaging. As a third-year advertising student, I find myself identifying with companies which uphold my values. In a sense, we both share

Redefining Lazy

Since the beginning of spring semester, I have spent almost every day trying to be productive. After an extended winter break, I didn’t feel like I could justify slowing down and taking time off. The on-and-off rainy weather this month has made my friends and I feel anything but motivated. The beginning of midterm season

Weekend in My Life: Vlog Edition

This weekend, I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried vlogging for the first time. Through the final video, I learned two things about myself: I speak in run-on sentences when I’m nervous We do a lot of baking in my apartment This was a fun experiment but I don’t think I will be
