One Repost at a Time
Have you ever reposted something on Instagram because it perfectly described how you felt, reminded you of something important, or said something you couldn't quite put into words? I know I have.
Spooky Season
Halloween is right around the corner. It is officially spooky season. But, I think my favorite thing about Halloween is that there is no right way to do it. Everyone “Halloweens” differently, but everyone has fun at the end of the day.
Friendship Across Species
Hello, dear readers, and welcome to spooky season!
In order to usher in the time of aliens, vampires, and zombies, here's a quick excerpt from a story that I wrote called ‘Friendship Across Species,’ about a human and an alien called a Grisei as they travel the galaxy together.
Still Running
I really have no idea why I run.
When you think about senior athletes, you generally think of people who are really dedicated and passionate about a sport they’ve played for much of their adolescent life
The Effect of Change
Change - something that, for many people, isn’t seen as a good thing. It can feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar, even scary. For me, when I think of change, I think of the physical action of altering an object, whether that means moving it or shaping it into something new, almost like a block of Play-Doh.
Friday Night’s Alright For Fighting

Apple Cinnamon Bread
At this moment, while I’m writing this blog, the house smells of delicious cinnamon and apple delight. When my siblings and I were younger, my family would go to the pumpkin patch every year; once we outgrew that tradition, we made a new one.
My First Week of Senior Year Through My Camera Roll
I started my senior year of high school a week ago! I can’t believe it’s already started, and I feel like I’ve been here a month already.
The Summer Refresh
As the summer came to a close, I decided that it was time for me to finally deep clean my room, to completely start fresh with a room that looked practically brand new.
The Price of a View
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to spend a week in the mountains with my family. The Great Smoky Mountains, to be specific, and it was beautiful; high-elevation landscapes, greenery covering every bump and hill, vistas around every corner and back street road.
Next Chapter
When I’m with my peers, we ask each other questions like: “What are your plans for next year?” or “What’s your major?” These are all very relevant questions this summer, with the looming transition from high school to the years that will follow.
Application Turmoil
Many of you reading this already know, as I have continuously mentioned, I am a rising senior. And so, what my current summer into senior year consists of is hanging out with my friends, various internship work, and my current favorite: college essay writing, or lack thereof.
Rest Isn’t Earned
I was so scared entering my junior year. Everyone said that it was going to be the hardest year and to be ready. So I did everything I could to be ready.
Behind the Scenes
When it comes to theatre, or any storytelling production, we take a lot at face value -
Cross Court
I always enjoyed playing for the tennis and badminton teams in high school. Whether it was getting out onto the court or spending time with my teammates, these sports stand out among so many high school experiences.
Love Makes the World Go Round
Please don’t have children. I am serious. Please don’t have children if you can’t love them unconditionally.
Those We Remember
Every year on the last Monday of May, it has been a long favored American tradition to honor those who have died.
