This world is not perfect. Far from it, in fact. There is so much pain and suffering on this planet, and it is unbearable to think about all of the different problems people are facing right now. The world is full of evil and death. How do we find light in the darkness? How do…
Hey guys! My eyes hurt from looking at paper. On Thursday, Kinley came over for a full day of DC scrapbooking, which is an assignment for social studies. Seven hours and two rolls of double-sided tape later, we had made two DC scrapbooks…and a disaster of the dinner table. We also baked this crazy thing…
This is Daisy. She is my gorgeous canine companion who spends too much time playing fetch with Dad, and not enough time doing anything else. She is 4 years old, and she is a mix of Australian Shepherd, Boston Terrier, Labrador, and Pomeranian. Today, Daisy got a lot of love. I took her for a…
Remember last week, when I told you about my weekend plans? Well, it finally happened! Yesterday at three, Claire picked me up and we went to Fred Meyer to get some polaroid film for her camera. She makes a junk journal full of life experiences, which is so cool. We went to Chipotle to grab…
Today, my friends and I did not have normal classes. Because next week is Spring break, we have a distance learning day, meaning we have an assignment or two from each class to work on today. Kinley invited me and Mikka over to her house to do work together. We made a breakfast platter full…
Today, I did something new. I had just eaten a rather large meal of soup and sushi and decided to take a walk. I usually run a 1.5-mile loop in our neighborhood, but today I decided to walk. I turned up my “chill” playlist and took a stroll down the now blossom-lined streets. The weather…
If you know me, you know I pack an avocado for lunch. My friends are eating these beautiful hand-crafted sandwiches and tasty snacks, and I’m eating an avocado with Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning. I eat avocados every chance I get (my poor worship team has seen me suffer trying to peel and avocado with…
This year, I made a friend named Claire. She is a Junior, and she is one of the sweetest people I know. She is a huge supporter of mine, and she is excited for next year, when we can be in zero-period choir together. We were talking about our plans for spring break yesterday over…
The DC trip may be over, but the entertainment definitely isn’t. Here’s a recap of the best moments from the first week back! These are my random hilarious moments and fun anecdotes from me! A little while ago, I had a dream that my best friend, Mikka and this random guy from school, Clive, were…
It all comes rushing back. The laughter and the sunshine. The feeling of the grass under my feet as I chased my best friend around the park, trying to get my bike helmet back. “Duckie, give it back!” I was laughing so hard my side ached. “Try and catch me,” he sang. “If you can,…
I’m back from DC, and I do not feel reset. Let me note, I am not a procrastinator, but this week, I’m putting off EVERYTHING. Yesterday, instead of cleaning my room, I laid on the floor and talked to Emily about cleaning. I googled random facts I probably didn’t need to know the answers to,…
I’m officially back from Washington, DC, and I had the best time! My roommates, Uma, Kinley, and Sam, were great, and I bonded so much with my classmates. My day group was my friend, Ann and her mom. We got so many sugar-free vanilla bean Frappuccinos and smoothies throughout the week, and I ate the…
