Why Frosh Week Was Awesome and Showed Me Why High School Sucked
Frosh week or O Week, whatever you may call it, is the university way of welcoming students to campus by showing them all that’s available to them in the most hyped up fashion possible. Now say what you will, but my experience was truly astounding. I met the most genuinely welcoming people I’ve ever encountered, and was able to step up and out of my comfort zone because as soon as I set foot on campus I knew I was home. I know starting a new chapter in life can seem daunting and literally paralyzing. If you read on though, I promise you’ll have an awesome first week at university, hopefully a better high school experience, or if neither of those apply to you perhaps you’ll get something out of this anyway.

Bedroom Challenges
The following I wrote after nearly completing my debut album and decided to publish a book. Bedroom Challenges is set to be released in early 2020. The concept is to first be a poetry book with one half lyrics, and one half journal, so people can be mindful as they go and not feel bad about defacing a book. Because I'm a musician, on top of this book of poems are the songs that sprouted from them, which you can see if you come to a performance!

Why I Tri
I am going to preface this entry with this. I am not naturally... anything. Not many things come natural to me other than a sense of determination and (sometimes) a very positive attitude. I promise you no matter how far I seem to have come since working my way to being slightly good at triathlon, it still takes a lot of willpower and grit to keep up the pace.

Being Busy: The Pros and Cons
Being busy is a wonderful thing. It both prevents stress and causes it all at once. It just depends on how well you're able to balance all your tasks and how much you truly enjoy what you're doing. By "busy," I mean busy as in: Leave the house before 6 AM and not return until past 7 PM busy. As someone who is well-versed in being very busy, I thought I'd compile a list of pros and cons to being busy, as well as tips as to how you can effectively be busy while staying calm, cool, and collected. Or decide to not be busy at all! The choice is yours.

Here It Comes
It's the moment I've been waiting for since as long as I can remember, school as I know it is coming to an end and I couldn't be more excited. For so long, all I could think about is how much I dislike school, and how badly I wanted to grow up and live my own life—instead of someone else's fixed agenda. To me, school hasn't felt fulfilling. It hasn't felt like it was preparing me for the "real world;" whatever that is. But school wasn't all so bad.
