My Lips Were Shaking

A year ago I was definitely in my end of freshman year mentality. I didn’t see myself as cute. I didn’t understand the public relations world well and I was lost in certain ways. I didn’t even make it to the Live with Kelly semi-finalist level and it hurt. No matter how farfetched something is,Continue reading “My Lips Were Shaking”

Tears Stream

My grandmother cried as I stood in front of her. My mom smiled with happiness that I was there. I surprised them both by coming home for my uncle’s memorial and funeral. It wasn’t a financial luxury I had but I knew it would make all the difference for them. Friday brought familiar faces backContinue reading “Tears Stream”

A Look Back: Find Comfort & Confidence

Here is “A Look Back” at my past week through my weekly photo journal post! Find comfort and confidence in your life!  We have a winner! Sometimes we just need to be in touch with our inner child through go-karts, laser tag and arcade games! Week after week I’ve burnt the pancakes I made! I’m finally learningContinue reading “A Look Back: Find Comfort & Confidence”

You Know How the Story Goes. . .

I knew I wanted my next post to be on friendship and yesterday, it came to me that I not only wanted to write about friendship but an unsung hero in my book. This weekend I looked at the PRIDE (LGBTQ) Student Union Facebook event for its general body meeting and I flashed back to myContinue reading “You Know How the Story Goes. . .”

I Snooze, I Lose

I didn’t expect to have a story related to dating so soon but it is crazy how timing works out. When we wait to grasp something we want until later, many times we lose our chance. Friday night I was proactive but it was a little too late. Last semester I developed a crush onContinue reading “I Snooze, I Lose”

Second Time Around

I cannot believe that I am about to return to Tallahassee to start my second year of college! Last school year gave me all these amazing experiences that made me grow in ways I didn’t expect. I have so many hopes for this next school and can’t wait to see the differences this second timeContinue reading “Second Time Around”

Around the Bend

As I washed dishes last night, I thought about the 8 am class I was substitute teaching this morning and how tired I would be with less sleep. Then, I thought how I will handle the busy schedule I have this fall? The answer is simple. The same way I handled everything thus far; withContinue reading “Around the Bend”

Full Circle

They say everything comes full circle. Today I am packing up my room in Tallahassee to go back to Pensacola this weekend. I didn’t know what to expect when this summer began but I knew this day would come. As my Tallahassee summer ends, my Pensacola summer will begin. I truly feel this is aContinue reading “Full Circle”

Oh the Places We’ll Go

As I sit in my Tallahassee apartment, I look back at the beginning of the school year and how much life changed since then. I learned so much about life and was able to have some great experiences. I remember in August when my mom left in the car to go back to Pensacola andContinue reading “Oh the Places We’ll Go”
