This past week I’ve become mostly a shut in, enjoying the social aspects of being at work and enjoying my roommates company, but otherwise, I’ve preferred to be Skyping family and journaling on my own.

As a campus ambassador (or tour guide) for the past few years for UW-Stevens Point, I often get the questions, “Is there anything you regret not doing while being a college student?” When I was first asked this question, I will admit that I was stumped, so I turned to my classmates and friends for […]

Hola chicos! Happy May! I can’t believe it’s already here, I will never get over how fast this semester has gone. I guess time flies when you’re having fun is the best way to describe it but it’s still hard for me to comprehend. In two weeks I will be taking my final exams and […]
