I am kinda at a loss for finding what to say in such a time as this. What do you say to a year that took 1.8 million from a virus, a year that took forests and cancer victims and the health of millions, a year that personified the incapacity of the people we elect [...]
I have this Post-It note above my desk that reads “be flexible and take a deep breath.” And it’s funny, because no matter how many times I catch a glimpse of this reminder stuck to my wall, I am surprised by it’s message each time. Learning how to put my big girl pants on and [...]
Much like the way I approached senior year, this post is late. But I realized that the past year has been one of the most influential that I've had, so I ought to give it the attention it deserves. So, here is what I learned my senior year of high school (and June 2020). Dream [...]

Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony Favorites: Saint Valentine Big Black Car The Stable Song Lonesome Dreams by Lord Huron Favorites: She Lit a Fire Ends of the Earth In the Wood Mylo Xyloto by Coldplay [...]
You know those moments that are just too pure to even try to explain? Those moments that convince you that you are more than just neuroscience? Like trying to describe it or put a label on it would just be an offense to its existence? I feel like this week was full of those moments. [...]
How to spell sophomore The number one thing I have to remember is the fact that I am here to get an education and (try to) have a great time while doing it Panera is the best place to study even though their coffee is always lukewarm. Testing sucks! Mental breakdowns will happen! My expectations [...]
