The Latest In Erin’s Life: New Semester Fiasco
January 17, 2022
This new year, I hoped to refocus my attention on my writing growth. All the things: be a consistent writer, become more confident, spend time learning, actually post on my blog every week. The first week was great. I achieved 2 out of 3 of my writing goals, which isn’t bad considering before I was … More The Latest In Erin’s Life: New Semester Fiasco
Lies About College and Other Updates About My First Week
August 31, 2020
Hi everyone! Before you read this post, be sure to go back to last week’s post about moving into college! I am overwhelmed by the response I got from that post, both on this platform and from social media. All your kind words really helped me get through this crazy and (probably the most) stressful … More Lies About College and Other Updates About My First Week
The Latest In Erin’s Life: Moving Into College
August 24, 2020
Let’s take a moment to process this week. Maybe you went back to school or work this week. Maybe you stayed in your room and binged netflix. Maybe you did absolutely nothing and have nothing to reflect on. I moved into college this week. And I’ve felt all the emotions. All the emotions except excitement, … More The Latest In Erin’s Life: Moving Into College
What Marching Band Taught Me About Leadership
July 27, 2020
Let us commence this wild ride called my high school band experience. I am honestly surprised this blog made it over a year without ever delving into this particular topic. But seeing as I’m not going to participate in band ever again, this is probably a good time to reflect on what I learned during … More What Marching Band Taught Me About Leadership
Day 1 of Online School
March 31, 2020
I know everybody’s tired of hearing about COVID-19. It’s cancelled our lives, it’s clogging up our Twitter feeds, and it’s actually hurting a lot of people right now. I started this blog for self-development. I thought it would be cool to be able to go back through my earliest posts and see how far I’ve … More Day 1 of Online School
Senioritis: I’m Not Staying Sane
February 10, 2020
Before school started, I wrote a piece titled “Back to School: How to Stay Sane Another Year”. Back then, I thought this post would be necessary and enduring. And maybe it was necessary at the time… but it feels useless now. It should have been obvious from the moment I set foot on campus to … More Senioritis: I’m Not Staying Sane
The Latest In Erin’s Life: Fall Break
October 22, 2019
You might remember a previous post called “Summer in Review” where I broke down my goals for the summer and evaluated the extent of achievement. That was about as close as you got to actually finding out anything about me as a person. And while I will still be sharing those types of posts every … More The Latest In Erin’s Life: Fall Break
I Work Really Hard… Yet I Fail Constantly
October 7, 2019
Let’s travel back in time to Sophomore year. As a naive fifteen-year-old coming out of a ridiculously easy freshman year, I naturally decided to take three AP classes, two honors courses, one fine arts class plus marching band (which was an entire class on its own that I wasn’t enrolled in). I joined every club … More I Work Really Hard… Yet I Fail Constantly
Maybe Being Directionless is Okay
August 19, 2019
Since Kindergarten, every child is asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?”. And all the ideas those five-year olds have are so creative and endearing – astronaut, pop star, or if you were me: ear doctor. But no matter how many times kids are asked that question, the answer never seems … More Maybe Being Directionless is Okay
