How to Make Friends with Card Games

Posted on2020-09-082020-09-08Leave a comment

When I was just starting college, I was terrified. I’m way more introverted than extroverted, and I worried that I wouldn’t be able to make friends or meet people easily. My first challenge came even before classes started – orientation. A whole weekend in an environment where I didn’t know a single soul. Luckily for Read More …

Last spring, I had the incredible opportunity of traveling to Japan. It was a wonderful trip, and I can’t wait to return. I have traveled out of the country twice before, both times to Paris, France.

Current mood:  Embers by Owl City.  Current weather:  Rainy and cloudy, but the sun’s showing in the West.

Some Poetry

Posted on2017-02-13Leave a comment

Recently I came across an old notebook of mine which I had used for doodles and creative writing.  I had some poems in there that actually sounded pretty good, so I thought I’d post them here for people to read.  They are free-form and don’t rhyme.  Here they are, I hope you enjoy.
