I can’t believe that after all those years of thinking it would never come, my first week of senior year is now officially over. Even more insane is that during the back-to-school craziness, I managed to post on here three times. Three times! I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting from senior year. I … More A Reality Check
Hey guys! I’m here with one more post this week (I know – three posts in one week is a lot for me, but I guess I have a lot to say). This one has nothing to do with life advice or writing workshops – though I suppose both play a tiny role. I’m popping … More Check Out My Friend’s Blog!

Instead, I’m going to use this blog post as an explanation of why I find apologizing annoying. It’s not the regular apologizing I’m talking about. … More The Problem with Apologizing (for Existing)

We want to succeed in our goals, follow our passions until their fruitful endings, and have a wonderful, full life to look back on in which everything just magically happened without any obstacles.
