It's possible I have over-extended myself. Between my job, running Writers' Society, working as a student representative, seeing friends, and running this blog, my university assignments have been falling through the cracks a bit. Why can't the days be longer? I don't have enough time for everything I want to do and unfortunately this means … Continue reading Through Cracks
I got some new books recently. I always try not to buy books because at the end of the semester my luggage is always crazy heavy, but it's counter-intuitive for a writer. Books are a necessity and there's just something about owning one and not just having a library copy that makes things better. The … Continue reading Research and Eagerness
This morning I got an email saying my last two assignments from last semester were ready to be picked up. I got a little excited and went straight to collect them even though I was late for a meeting. It would have been embarrassing if my marks had been bad. Thankfully they were not. In … Continue reading Writing for Fun
Yesterday I said I would be braver, so today I'm going to write about what scares me more than anything: my feelings. That was supposed to be funny. Things are never funny when I try to make them funny. It's a curse, really. I've been realizing more and more lately that there's a feeling sitting in … Continue reading Thoughts on Guilt
Today feels like the first day in a while that consisted of more than work and Criminal Minds. Last night I was trying to put together a simple cover letter that would be suitable to send to an agent when I finish one of my novels. It took longer than I thought it would. Hours. When … Continue reading Braver
Just because I'm busy all the time doesn't mean I don't still enjoy stuff. Here are this month's weeklies (because let's face it, these only ever happen every month anymore). Music: The perfect way to start off these 21st Weeklies is with a song from Twenty One Pilots, their most famous, Stressed Out. Suitable for a lot … Continue reading (#21) Weeklies
My last semester has been really busy. In between my job, classes, and studying, I've managed to find some spare time for socializing or working out. Still, I end each of my days the same: with an early bedtime. I love being busy, don't get me wrong. But often I'm too tired by the time I get … Continue reading Nothing to Report
I don't actually write poems very often. In my first year I had a poetry class that I had to do a bunch for and I've been dropping them here and there since I first started this blog, so it seems like I write more than I do. This time, however, I have some poems … Continue reading Some Poetry #2
I'm having a miserable day. Actually, it was quite a nice day. It was sunny, I saw friends, I had a cool class, and I hung out in the bookstore. But I've had a cold since last night and therefore feel miserable. You know when only one thing is making you miserable and then you … Continue reading Miserable
Disclaimer: The movie I just saw had a lot of swearing in it, so you can rest assured this post will, too. Well I'm scared to shit. I'm twenty-one years old. I still haven't completed my university degree. My subject of study is freakin' Creative Writing. I know fuck-all about Wall Street. So keep that … Continue reading The Big Short
