I will never know how I managed to graduate college with a semi decent GPA. If I am working on a project that I am interested in, I will start work on said project as soon as I know I will be working on it every waking hour until the due date. Not a minute…

I don’t usually post many of my YouTube videos on this blog, but I’m really excited about this so I decided to share it anyway. A few months ago I started a collaborative YouTube channel with my friend Amy. Because we are two extremely nerdy people who enjoy talking about all things nerdy and educational,…

I just recently finished a diet bet with a friend, and we had been tracking our progress through our collaborative YouTube channel.

The funny thing, though, is that for the first time in a long time I’m faced with a decision that I don’t think I…

My days have kind of blurred by this week. I wake up and I go to work. After work I come home for an hour to change and eat. Then I go work again until I come home and go to bed. I knew this was going to happen when I started my new job,…

The last year and a half has been kind of insane. I studied in Oxford the end of 2013. I went from barely knowing what I wanted to do with my life to being pretty sure I was going to move to England to finish school and (maybe) live and teach. I applied to Grad…

If there has been a theme running through this blog and my life, it’s probably been balance. When I was in school I was trying to balance classes, work, internships, family time, study time, friend time, and the shiny unicorn of adulthood I’ve come to know as me time. But now, for the first time…
