Answering questions about life in post-grad
This year’s word is hope. Hope is a defiance against all of the disappointments life sends our way. It’s the ability to believe that there will still be a dawn after the darkest night. The past two years after graduating college felt like entering a fog that was ever getting darker. Even now, there is … Continue reading growing up and the end of summer
In your twenties, it’s not uncommon to feel lost. In the outside world, everyone’s in a different stage of life. Some of your friends are in school, some are working their first jobs. Some have moved states and others are living at home. I’m about to turn 24 next month, and lately, I’ve been feeling … Continue reading feeling lost in your twenties
It’s officially July. I’ve been out of school for a while now, but I am no closer to figuring out what’s next for me. It’s been weeks since I visited Virginia, but two nights ago, I had a dream of a dear friend and I at our favorite place, and I miss it. This post … Continue reading summer thoughts on my mind
“You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out - perhaps a little at a time.’ ‘And how long is that going to take?’ ‘I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps.’ ‘That could be a long time.’ ‘I will tell you a further … Continue reading jayber crow | quote series
I honestly don’t know how to write this post. It’s one I’ve been wanting to write for a few weeks but things got in the way and I don’t think I have words for it. It was definitely a gift from the Lord, and that’s something I’m quite sure of. Lately, I have a thing … Continue reading Home sweet Home: Charlottesville, VA
I’m officially done with grad school! It’s been two weeks since I graduated. Second semester was much harder and way more stressful. My health had some major dips and finishing my master’s project was anxiety-inducing. But I also got to go to Ireland (mostly for free!) and it was an absolute delight! I’m so excited … Continue reading second semester of grad school reflection
As I’m writing this, it’s late Wednesday night after a day of graduation and festivities. I graduated May 15, 2024!!!! There’s been lots of photos taken, fun songs like Congratulations by Post Malone, scrambling to find friends in the midst of crowds full of families and students, and the like. I didn’t think it was … Continue reading I graduated-columbia class of 2024!

At the moment, I’ve become quite obsessed with a few things. So I figured here’s a chance to tell you what has been consuming my mind (in a good way!). This will kind of be a random list of items, but maybe you’ll enjoy it. #1: Burt’s Bees Vanilla Bean Lip Balm This one feels … Continue reading my current obsessions
March 2024 was a huge month for me. And it revealed a little bit of a pattern to me. I guess God likes to use the month of March to shake up my life a bit. Last March, I was accepted to grad school and rejected from a job I was so confident I’d get. … Continue reading March 2024 in review
So I took a wee trip to Ireland this past week! For my Covering Religion course, we applied for a grant that would allow us to travel to Ireland and cover religion internationally. The grant meant that, for the most part, the trip was paid for. So on Saturday afternoon, March 9, we all headed … Continue reading the emerald isle
The firefly only shines when on the wing, So it is with us--when we stop, we darken.

I read the Anne of … Continue reading my favorite fictional world: Mitford edition
