I ask myself the simple question this morning of "How are you?" - I feel like I don't do this enough. We as humans don't do this enough. I find myself, more often, framing that question in a different way. How is life affecting me? How do I feel about ____? What am I…
I've been thinking a lot about my goals lately. I have new goals every day and oftentimes, they change based on what is going on around me/in my life. We should always be motivated to reach our goals, but sometimes I find myself just "hoping" that my goals are achieved. It's not that I don't…
As I have now completed my undergraduate studies at Rockhurst University, I am starting to think a bit more about my future. Where I want to go, what I want to do, how I can try to get there, etc. My goals - my dreams - are ahead of me. I have experienced something…
For as long as I can remember, I can't wait for next steps in life. I am always looking forward to everything that is going to come next, how I am going to do it, etc. I am someone who is borderline obsessed with organization - I just love being able to get my ducks…
Throughout this period of quarantine that we are all currently in, I was worried at first that I would be bored all of the time. Fortunately, I have been keeping myself busy. I am super thankful to be able to work still - I've had plenty to do every single day while working from home.…

As this is a time where the world has slowed down a bit, I am sure we are all reflecting a bit. This morning, I am reflecting on my reminders. I made a post when the year 2020 started about my 2020 "reminders". I don't like to make resolutions - I just set…
Throughout this quarantine time, I see and hear many people trying to find things to do to keep themselves busy. This is certainly a time where many of us have free time that we don't really know what to do with. Free time is never a bad thing - it gives us an opportunity to…
During this time of quarantine from the COVID-19 pandemic we are experiencing, I can tell that everyone, including myself, has many questions and worries about the situation we are in. I, thankfully, am blessed to be in a place where I have food, shelter, medicine, etc. Not everyone has that, and in a time like…
I'm sad. Sad that this chapter is ending so quickly. 4 years at Rockhurst is coming to an abrupt halt, as they have closed campus and moved to online coursework for the final 8 weeks of my college life. It doesn't affect me much in terms of daily schedule, as the only "class" I have…
