Life in Lockdown – July 2020

Posted on by studyinglifewithgigi

It's been a hot minute since I've written a life update. Given that I'm still in quarantine, you have to wonder what the heck I have to update you on. Well, there are plenty of things that have changed. I finished Zoom University online for the spring semester, getting the best grades I've seen since I started at UVA. I have since had about a month to relax and work on my own side projects. As of now, I have started summer online classes, taking Media Ethics, Podcrash, Writing for Television, and Multimedia Production. I'm only taking two classes at once and I am also doing an internship, learning about dialogue and how to navigate difficult conversations with people who are in conflict with one another.

Why I Journal + Journaling Prompts

Posted on by studyinglifewithgigi

Beginning the journey I started journaling in 2015, kind of on a whim. I’m not even sure why I started.
