The Question on my Fellowship Application...
If you had no obligations or financial constraints for the next six months what would you do?
I don’t think 200 words is enough to explain all the traveling and exploring I would do. If only… What would you do?
Funky Town.
Do you ever wish you could fast forward time? I know I should be living up these last few months of college, but I feel like I’m unproductive. I just want to be out “there” doing something. Whenever I’m sitting still and not writing or editing I feel like I’m wasting time. As if at 22 I’m supposed to be out there making a name for myself. But I’ve just...

fullawakening:
I feel like it’s often way too easy to get caught up in the struggles we face, to complain about how things aren’t going our way, to let our emotions or feelings rule us, and to go down a path where we lay the bricks of our own unhappiness.
We do this to ourselves. If we …

Blue skies are here.
Life has been going unusually well lately. I say this hesitantly because I feel like if I say it too loudly my good luck will stop and things will go downhill. Cause ya know, that’s how things go. But in all seriousness I haven’t been this happy in a long time. It’s a good feeling.
I love my classes. I thought I would hate journalism by the end of the second week because all...

My mother told me this weekend that I act a lot like Liz Lemon. Best compliment ever.
This is how I'm spending my Sunday evening:
Eating chips and salsa
Stalking a cook county commissioner online for my investigative class hoping to find a hidden scandal so I can have a good story for my midterm project.
Searching for broadcasting jobs in small Oregon towns.
Reading about fonts and typography.
Writing essays to get on Obama’s campaign.
Blogging about Rahm Emanuel and the Jewish jokes he makes at...

I like lists. Lists are my favorite.
I totally could have been cast in Shindler’s List because I love making lists. That’s how Liam Neeson got the job. Don’t believe me? Click here.
I survived the first week of school, which wasn’t much because I only had one day of classes. This semester will be a full one, but ya know what else is new. Besides a full semester of credits I’m running our news...
This is it.
The final semester begins in just a few short hours. I’m soaking up my last few minutes of freedom before the insanity begins. Hello, senioritis, I shall conquer you.
Soul Meets Body
I don’t think there is a prettier view of Chicago than from thousands of feet in the air overlooking the city at night. I love flying. I forget how beautiful the world is and how miraculous it looks from the sky and above the clouds. I told myself I wanted to end winter break missing the city. I hoped that I would come back to school the next semester and be ready for the months ahead....

Home.
Winter break has been wonderful so far. I’ve gotten to sleep, not worry about school at all, see my friends & family, watch a bunch of holiday flicks & relax. I don’t remember the last time this happened, or when it will happen again in the future. I am going to enjoy it as much as possible.
