I create content for a living, both writing and producing video content, so it has been almost two decades since I've done any creative writing. My father has written poetry his entire life, so I was encouraged by him to keep up my creative writing as a hobby, but life happens, and the pen was put aside as the bills stacked up.
Even before quarantine started in March, I knew I was going to read a lot more in 2020, given that I started the year without a full-time job. What has changed since January is how I choose my books. Before this year, my book choices were primarily based off Reese Witherspoon's book club, or the …
Many of my friends and family know that I am a voracious reader. As a child, I could usually be found reading a book, even when it was bedtime, and I hid under the covers with a flashlight. No meal was complete without a book in front of my plate. No road trip could begin …
With the last calendar year filled with trips, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself at home for a long weekend. Since January, I've been to New York City, New Orleans (Mardi Gras), Pittsburgh (work), San Diego (family trip), Washington D.C., New England (Boston, Maine & Vermont), Las Vegas, and have another trip to NYC …

I wish I could get in a time machine and redo parts of my life. I loved college for the most part, but now working on a college campus, I feel like I could have done more and taken advantage of opportunities available only in college. Professionally, I know I could have done more when …
We live in a world where hate is the driving force. We live in a world where you are not free to love, but it is okay to hate. It hurts me to see people attack each other because their opinions differ. What's wrong with coexisting? With living next to your neighbor that is a different gender, race, …
Instead of Netflix & Chill (the G version), I will be going old school this holiday season, and reliving my college days. I have no internet or cable at home (financial restrictions and just plain preference - I'll get internet eventually), so I will be reading, watching DVDs and working extra hours. I have an …
I had my “awakening” in 2014. I had a lot of free time — being unemployed & having no money, so the free time led to a lot of self-reflection, and realizing what makes you truly happy. I am a different person than I was four years ago. I'm reminded of this whenever I check …
