Diary meets planner meets to to-do list. Bullet journals have become quite popular recently. So many of the kids at school as well as my teachers have started using bullet journals to organize their thoughts and lives.

Three Years Later, Thank You All So Much!
This is crazy. I can’t believe I’ve actually kept this up for three years now. Well actually on Wednesday it’ll be three years, but it’s fine.

Whether you’re just now reading this one or you’ve… Continue reading Three Years Later, Thank You All So Much!
Why I am a Self-Critic
Recently in AP Lang, we had a creative writing assignment inspired by a piece by Zitkala-Sa titled “Why I am a Pagan”. I chose to write about why I am so hard on myself and here is that piece. Enjoy. Heavy breathing. Sweat dripping. Mind racing. There was no way I’m going to pull off… Continue reading Why I am a Self-Critic
On Fam: A Word I Absolutely Hate
It’s lit, fam. You’re the best, fam. There’s no better fam than my fam. Oh, I’m sure there is and I’m also sure that there’s a better word to describe those we refer to as family. Fam is a word I despise and every time I hear it, I cringe. It’s like hearing styrofoam rub… Continue reading On Fam: A Word I Absolutely Hate

Dear Santa, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you! There goes another year! This one’s been a good one, now that I’m not wearing that silly boot anymore!

Empowered Poem
I played in a tennis tournament yesterday that went really well. I feel like I’ve been struggling a bit lately to feel confident in my playing, but yesterday helped boost that. I may have won three of my matches and lost three of my matches, but everything I learned will help me improve my actual… Continue reading Empowered Poem
Creative Writing Piece
In my AP Lang and Comp class, we’ve had creative writing time on Wednesdays since the beginning of school. I feel like outside of this time in class, I haven’t had much time do write because I’ve had a ridiculous amount of homework the past week or two. Yay for not going to bed until… Continue reading Creative Writing Piece
Rising to Fulfillment
For the final project in my advanced language arts class this year, we had to create a new model for a person to reach self-actualization. Â We had to argue why it was better than Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and explain the new steps of the model. The model my group created shows how a person… Continue reading Rising to Fulfillment
To Eat or Not to Eat
For the second half of my first semester this school year, my language arts class read Hamlet by Shakespeare. One of our assignments was to translate Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy into something relatable and understandable. I chose to translate mine into “To eat or not to eat” and here it is. Enjoy!… Continue reading To Eat or Not to Eat
A Holiday Letter to Readers…
It’s that special time of year! Every year my family sends out a Christmas letter to family and friends updating them on how we’re doing and our journey throughout the year. My dad always writes the letter and he does a great job making it entertaining and worth reading. I figured I might write my… Continue reading A Holiday Letter to Readers…
