Answering questions about life in post-grad
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. Through the gift to readers that is Libby, I randomly decided to start reading At Home in Mitford in September of 2022. It was one of the best reading decisions I’ve ever made. I read the Anne of … Continue reading my favorite fictional world: Mitford edition
Hi friends! It’s been quite a day (a Tuesday when I write this to you). I had some health things that came up, so I just wanted to say take care of yourselves and check in on loved ones. It sucks that so many I love live far from me and I have to relay … Continue reading death, love, and grief
I’m taking you through a Tuesday in my life during spring semester. This semester has been so hard. My reporting is competing with my Master’s Project. Not to mention my part time job (which is thankfully lightening up its load). Send prayers and good thoughts! January 30, 2024 On Tuesday morning, I ate breakfast and … Continue reading tuesday of spring semester | columbia chronicles
I mentioned at the start of the year that I wanted to read more classic literature as one of my resolutions, and so I figured I would share with you the books I want to read this year! Reading Goals for 2024 Anna Karenina I randomly bought Anna Karenina a few blocks away from Columbia … Continue reading reading goals for 2024
The posts that I missed writing when I graduated college in May 2022 were the end of semester reflection posts. These posts gave me an avenue to look back on the semester, see the gems I had, celebrate the wins I experienced, and mourn the losses I had. So it’s been a pleasant surprise to … Continue reading fall semester of journalism school reflection
We’re back to the fresh start feeling at the New Year. I recapped 2023 in last week’s post. I’m honestly more excited about the second part of 2024 than the first part (I’m dreading needing to finish my Master’s project.) While I have a few resolutions and intentions, this post is more about ins and … Continue reading 2024: In and out
It’s that time of the year, a time to assess the year that has gone by. The lessons we learned, the trips we went on, the moments we enjoyed (or didn’t). 2023 was a strange year for me. I started off the year still job hunting, but my heart wasn’t in it anymore, and now … Continue reading what i’ve learned in 2023 + 2023 Highlights
It’s the most wonderful time of the year—where I share with you the books I’ve delighted this year. My Goodreads goal was 100 books, and I made it to 103. I definitely won’t be attempting this goal again anytime soon . I really want to read longer books next year, but this was a cool … Continue reading my best books of 2023
I know I haven’t been the best at sharing my Columbia life, but I did want to share the last day of fall semester with you. Fall semester was hard, and was super super busy, but I’m glad it’s time to rest and relax (even while working on my Master’s project). Friday December 15, 2023 … Continue reading Last day of fall semester | columbia chronicles
