After making some final adjustments to my schedule last Friday, I had a bit of an adjustment with figuring out my new schedule and class work load. After a bit of work in the beginning of the week, I have seemed to make a schedule that will work for me …
When I think “pivotal movie moment,” I instantly think of this scene from Avengers: Endgame. The build up to this moment and the helplessness followed by triumph make for an incredibly epic moment. There isn’t much more to say about it other than the …

I’ve always considered myself to be quite creative, with the capacity to take on challenges in interesting and uncommon ways. I’ve never really struggled to create, but I have struggled to put a style to my work. Whether it’s a drawing, a song, a short story, a problem, etcetera, I’ve …

The first thing I did this week was making my first daily create. It took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to do with it. In the end, I took my inspiration from this portion of the assignment-

Normally, while I study or do homework, I play instrumental music in the background to help me focus. While I was shuffling between playlists today, I stumbled on an ocean sounds white noise video on YouTube. (Ok? And? … just keep reading. this will make more sense when you read …
Today’s daily create asked if we were at the end of a microfilm reel, and we wanted to rewind. What it is that we would be rewinding.
I envisioned being at the end of a Pringles can and wanting to go back…

I’ll preface this post by being the first to admit that I tackled the Daily Create assignments wrong for the better half of the week. I was unfortunately under the impression that we would check in on Twitter to see what the prompt for the day was and then we …

The prayer is just the Hail Mary in Latin, and all of the …

It was nice to come up here to the wilderness just to take a breath. No one ever made their way up here, and when they did, they were always gone once the spectacular sunrise was over. No, these summer midafternoons were mine, all mine. I could relax, …
