52 THINGS TO DO IN BIRMINGHAM

Posted on November 11, 2020 Leave a Comment

“I believe cities have personalities. They tell a story. They somehow exude a feeling.” Last month I completed a year-long goal, where I would do a new thing that I could only do in Birmingham each week for a year. I called the project “52 things to do in Birmingham,” but shortened it for the […]

Goodbye Health Insurance, Hello 26

It seems that another year has passed. Not only is my birthday today, but in 3 days we will finish another revolution around the sun and toast champagne to 2020. Every year on my birthday for the past 3 years, I have written a blog post while waiting to board a delayed flight to Orlando […]

Entry- Level

Posted on August 7, 2017 2 Comments

I have officially lived in LA now for over a month, but I swear it only feels like a couple days. Technically I am now a California resident (I have my new license ID, license plates and angry DMV tweets to prove it). I have been told that my blog posts are getting shorter, but […]

Patience Iago

Posted on July 26, 2017 1 Comment

Most of you know the iconic quote, “patience Iago,” from the Disney classic Aladdin. Just when Iago thinks they cannot get a hold of the lamp, Jafar reminds him to be patient. I remember my parents quoting the line every time my sister and I would be inpatient children growing up (and still today). Although […]

As promised here is the next blog post! The next day we went to the Golan Heights. (Remember when I mentioned that in the last blog post) These mountains are surrounding the Jordan River and are the boarder between Israel and Syria. The exact trail was called Nahal Banias if you are curious to look […]

About One Month Away

It feels like I haven’t written one of these in forever. I have been so busy traveling and working, that I forgot to send some updates. There are so many amazing things happening right now in my life, but all I can think about is the fact that I have to graduate in a month. Do […]

The Curious Incident of the Unemployed Graduate

Posted on February 22, 2016 Leave a Comment

Lately I have been getting the same question over and over again: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO AFTER GRADUATION? I DO NOT KNOW! If you are graduating soon then you understand the very real struggle of the dreaded question. Some lucky individuals have a job lined up, but for some of us we are […]

Proud to be an American

Posted on July 14, 2015 Leave a Comment

So surprisingly my life has gotten way more interesting than my last bird seed ridden post. I partied in a VIP club, witnessed the 9/11 Memorial, strolled around the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and visited the Natural History Museum. I AM 21 YEARS OLD FIRST OF ALL! A friend of a friend of a friend got […]

My Bonnie flew over the ocean

Posted on May 18, 2015 Leave a Comment

I am sorry that I could not write this sooner, but I did not want my sister to find out I was coming home earlier than planned. I ended up surprising her at dinner before her graduation. Now that I am home in Philly again, I wanted to give some last words and reflections. I […]

In Bruges (It is the title of a movie and a city in Belgium)

Posted on April 21, 2015 Leave a Comment

For anyone who does not know, Bruges is a small town 30 minutes from the coast in Belgium. It is sometimes called the Venice of Northern Europe because of its various canals that run through the city. For our 2 year anniversary, Dillon and I took a weekend trip here. I won’t get all mushy […]
