Answering questions about life in post-grad
Most mornings I wake up and I open my brown leather Bible, usually a chapter a day and perhaps a commentary on that chapter to gain greater context of the historical and cultural background of what happened in the text. I write in my journal, the blank kind that encourages me to write as big … Continue reading Rethink Your Habits: Find Purpose in Daily Routines
He once thought it himself, that he might die with grief: for his wife, his daughters, his sisters, his father and master the cardinal. But pulse, obdurate, keeps its rhythm. You think you cannot keep breathing, but your ribcage has other ideas, rising and falling, emitting sighs. You must thrive in spite of yourself; and … Continue reading quote series: wolf hall’s thomas cromwell
As students go back to school and the weather gets a tad chillier, I’ve been feeling nostalgic lately. For late nights spent at the Study Center, for worshiping with other college students on Wednesday nights, for weekend trips to small towns, for having so many of my dear friends in walking distance. Throughout my college … Continue reading a glance back at first year
It’s practically the end of August, which means for all intents and purposes, the end of summer. To me, August is like golden hour, this bright moment right before the dark and cold descend. August surprised me, which is ironic because my word for the month was indeed surprise. I got offered a 3 month … Continue reading life update of august 2024
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!
Hi friends! I wanted to do this in the style of @kimberly on TikTok–her brutally honest days in my life.
