Summer Break

The first few months of 2015 have been a whirlwind, with barely a moment to take a breath and catch up on life. I spent nearly four months serving as the producer on the morning news show, The Daily Buzz, while balancing my full-time job as a Supervisor of Admissions. It was a dream come…

And so it starts…

On Monday, the Spring 2014 term at Rollins College officially starts. I will attend my very first MLS class on Wednesday, January 15th. I’m nervous. Anxious. Excited. Prepared. I’ve been waiting for this day since the moment I exited the stage from my BFA graduation ceremony. In many ways, I feel like most of the…

Accepted!

I’m in the home stretch, the final portfolio development classes, and in just 66 days, it’ll be time to walk across the stage, shake some hands, and pose for a picture…

Oh, those summer nights.

We’ve had some gorgeous sunsets here in Florida lately. This one is just ACHING for a story or a poem. Hope this serves as a writing prompt to some, a nice visual repose for others. Have an awesome Sunday! ~ Victoria Elizabeth

Even an optimist can use a hand some days…

In case you’re new here, I’m Victoria Elizabeth and I’m a die-hard optimist. Normally. Today, I was feeling a bit out of my element. You see, I received some bad news this morning (news that I’m not yet ready to share with the general public, unfortunately) and I found myself – for the first time…
