My love of words runs deep. I love how certain words sound, how the syllables roll off the tongue. I started writing at the age of 16, mostly short stories and poetry. In college, I started out as a Business major. Then three years into a four-year degree, I changed my major to English and never looked back. Needless to say, I turned a four-year into a five-year degree, but my love of writing overpowered my initial want of being in advertising. I interned at a TV station during my senior year in college, thinking I wanted to be the […]
Ode to Tina Fey

I was on the newspaper staff for one year, and I was President of Sigma Tau Delta, the National English Honor Society. My senior year in college, I all but vanished from college life. I only […]
Let Life Break You
Recently, I have been discouraged by how hard life is sometimes. When I found this quote by Louise Erdrich about letting life break you, I began to rethink my views on life. I know life can break me, and no one can protect me from it. Solitude will also break me, even though at times I may long for some solitude. I have to love. I have to feel. I have to be willing to risk my heart. I have to let life swallow me up. I also like the image of just sitting under the apple tree and listening […]
