I’m sure most people find their friends fascinating, otherwise why are you friends? But of course, I believe my friends are objectively fascinating. …

Wow was this week jam-packed. Then again, I might have become a little obsessive with the assignments this week.

I never knew how empowering a superhero movie could make me feel because I’d never seen a three dimensional, complex superhero who represented me. I …

I would consider myself an avid yet extraordinarily amateur photographer. My favorite media for sharing photos is my Instagram and my preferred camera is my phone. What I really like about Instagram’s platform is it works best if the person posting is selective in his or hers choices. An Instagram page then becomes a personal art …

I’ve always been a fan of vision boards. Make them. Hang them. Mediate in their general direction. Usually this is a solo activity – partially because most people don’t seem into the vision board idea, and partially because I never asked. So when I stumbled upon a vision board workshop at a local arts collective with the promise of meeting …
