Moving Movies
The last movie that made me cry a little bit was Project Hail Mary. To be fair, it doesn’t take much for me to shed a couple tears when watching a movie! I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it though, so all I’ll say is that I really enjoyed it…

Adulting 101
After being an adult for so long, it’s funny to look back and consider when I really felt like one. But I think it first hit me when I was a couple years into college and decided to stay at school over the summer, renting my own place, paying all my bills, getting my own…

Authors for Dinner
Who to have for dinner? And what would I make??? I’d make lasagna and garlic bread. But then- who to have? The prompt didn’t specify whether they had to be dead or alive, so… Ernest Hemmingway pops into my head first and foremost, because it would be cool to hang out and chat about writing.…

Travel… Near and Far
I love to go on trips. I’ll travel to places under an hour away, or take longer trips requiring some planning and flights. What’s interesting though is how a trip to the same place can feel vastly different on a separate occasion. For example: A trip to a beach destination out of the country completely…

Life Changer
One life-changing tip: Small amounts add up. Whether that’s writing, studying, doing yoga, saving money, eating a little healthier, or going for a walk. Five minutes walking is better than none. One carrot stick is better than none! Five dollars saved is better than none. I used this tip a lot during nursing school. I’d…

Reasons
Does everything happen for a reason? Well, sometimes things just happen. That’s just life. And if I can accept life on life’s terms, things go a lot smoother for me and I have a lot more peace. But that doesn’t mean there’s a reason for everything. There are opportunities. I do think that when a…
