Answering questions about life in post-grad
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!
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
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
Well folks, sometimes life hands you a bad hand. This blog post was supposed to be a recap of a trip I had planned for months, but NYC transit flooding meant that I stayed home. So instead of sharing with you the wonder of a new place (the trip is now set for next spring, … Continue reading i like their thoughts
This is another post like one I wrote over a year ago called 12 thoughts. I basically go through my Notes app and find Notes that might interest you or I want to expand on. So here goes. 001. I think I want to start a little podcast called The Chit Chat. It won’t be … Continue reading thoughts from my notes app
Hello friends! In New York City, after a weekend of an almost endless torrential downpour, we finally have blue skies with bright green trees again. My last post was about the lovely world of Avonlea and how our world has lost some of its beauty. Which means it was very serious. So I figured a … Continue reading Things I’m Loving Lately
“Spring had come once more to Green Gables—the beautiful capricious, reluctant Canadian spring, lingering along through April and May in a succession of sweet, fresh, chilly days, with pink sunsets and miracles of resurrection and growth.” Green Gables, Anne's home in Avonlea. Even now, I can see myself there. The tall grasses and clear blue … Continue reading My favorite fictional worlds: avonlea edition
Don’t be afraid of a quiet life. A small sustainable simple life is resistance against the vanities of the world. Plan on being hidden. Set your life up to have a few friends who hear you when you speak. Go to an insignificant church where they still have potlucks. Don’t buy any hype. You can’t … Continue reading a quiet life | quote series
This year, especially after graduating, I’ve been reading A TON. I’ve been reading instead of scrolling and sometimes instead of doing job applications. Reading has always been (even more so now) an escape for me. A haven away from the concerns of life. And though I’ve never wanted to become a book blogger, I love … Continue reading books + the things i’ve learned from them vol. 2
