Last Class

On Tuesday, September 3rd, I start the last class of my BFA at Full Sail University. WOW. How the time has flown. On March 28th, 2011, I began my journey as a Creative Writing student. I entered the program with insecurity and trepidation, a 26 year old getting a late start on a life’s passion.…

Bruno Mars in Concert!

Had to share this awesome photo of Bruno Mars and his band from last night. Doesn’t this picture just look like it’s straight out of the 70s? I love it. My fanhood (is that a word?) has increased tenfold for Bruno after last night’s concert in Orlando. He was energetic, talented, and put on one…

The E-Book vs. The Printed Book

I’ve been on a major reading kick lately. For anyone that knows me, they can vouch that I’m an avid-reader by nature, normally polishing off one novel per week – on top of my school and work commitments. For my birthday, my husband surprised me by purchasing the four major Kerouac books I’ve been dying…

Opportunities

I’ve sent out samples of my writing to multiple companies, colleges (yes, thinking about grad school), and potential employers. This is really happening, folks. I found out last night that the owner of…

Haunted

For three consecutive nights, I’ve had disturbing, ominous nightmares. I’m a very happy, upbeat person by nature and I currently have no major stress in my life, so I’m not sure what the cause of these midnight hallucinations might be. I’ve often been told that when you dream of painful or dark things, it often…

The Beauty of Silence

One of the things I marveled about during my hot air balloon ride last month was the weight and the power silence can have. There were sixteen people in my carriage, all chattering away, and it wasn’t until we were thousands of feet off the ground that people noticed it. The stillness. True, utter silence.…

Publication #23! Dress for Success: The Interview.

I’m pretty excited to announce that I’ve had a second article picked up for publication on Full Sail University’s blog. You can view the full article by clicking here. This article specifically addresses the dos and don’ts of dressing for a job interview for young adults. I’m thrilled for the opportunity to write directly for…
