Where I’ve Been In keeping my blog this semester, I had the chance to explore what it’s really like to be a writer on the internet. As helpful and interesting as reading about theory and rhetoric is in a classroom, there’s nothing like doing hands-on work that lets you really experience what you are learning […]
Recently, I attended the UGA Theatre Department’s performance of the musical Rent in the Fine Arts Building. If you’ve never seen it before, the musical written by Jonathan Larson centers a group of struggling artists and musicians in Brooklyn during the AIDS/HIV outbreak in the 1990s. The friends are all struggling to keep up with […]
In case you didn’t know, books are important. Books help us share ideas, communicate complex ideas, and come together over an important topic. I consider myself to be a book nerd, an environmentalist, and a feminist, and these are some of the most important books I’ve read so far: 1. Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall […]
I was raised in the church my whole life and the gospel reached my heart when I was in 6th grade. In college, I have been a part of multiple campus ministries, including Reformed University Fellowship. This ministry has taught me, loved me, and challenged me, and I’m forever grateful for it.

Here we are, the week after Thanksgiving, and the holiday season is upon us. The leaves are falling, the shops are full, and people are gearing up for their wintertime celebrations.

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the app TikTok, and chances are you also have the app (a billion people do), and if you have the app, you also probably spend more time than you are willing to admit scrolling through videos. You’re not alone, I’ve done my fair share of […]
Mostly due to the fact that I was twelve and this happened on the other side of the world, I was unaware that in January 2013, a bush fire ravaged the small community of Dunally, Tasmania and a picture of a family seeking refuge in the water went viral. Later that year, The Guardian published […]
Cool or Weird? Yesterday, when I was getting dressed for the day, I walked out into the kitchen to ask two of my roommates a question they are familiar with, “Cool or weird?” I was referring to my outfit, which was a double XL denim shirt handed down to me by my dad tucked into […]
So one of my new favorite after class activities is walking a ridiculously long route home. I’ll grab a large house milk tea with boba from Bubble Cafe downtown if I feel like I deserve the treat, and listen to a podcast. Even if it’s an hour-long episode, I’ll stretch out my walk home and […]
