Successful Completion

There are probably better things that you could do with 50 minutes of your life, but that’s how long YouTube says it will take to watch all 31 of the videos that I uploaded during VEDA. It’s that time of year again: time to sit around and think about this massive time suck project that […]

Wine, Pinocchio, and Bonus Content

It’s likely that I will keep talking about my summer overseas at length in the coming months, because that’s a good deal more glamorous than the view from the desk where I’m currently sitting. (A view that includes a stack of thesis books, some encyclopedias nobody has opened in a decade because Google, and a […]

Obsessions & Goodbyes

On Record

Last summer was a down period for this blog. It was a weird time wherein I had too many feelings to know how to wrap my arms around them and unload them into this space designed, primarily, as a receptacle for my abundant feelings. In October, I started to make my way back here in […]

the view from here

It has now been 24 days since I woke up at 6am to leave my house and set off on a trip spanning 5 countries, 11 boats, and 10 beds. Or approximations of beds. 11, actually, if we’re vaguing up the terminology to “approximations of beds” because I napped a bit while sitting upright on […]

LEG DAY EVERY DAY: Adventures in Italy

It has been an insane few weeks. Since I last posted: I landed in Paris, slept on the couch of a (very kind) stranger, signed some school paperwork (so everything is also super officially official now!), took a train to Torino and then Rome, spent a week in Italy with 40-some-odd wonderful people, headed to […]

noisy airport / noisy life

A brief update on my life, brought to you from an immensely noisy airport. Normally I try to contextualize videos when I post them to the blog, but there’s that whole time and never having enough of it thing to contend with. A couple things, though: (1) I AM SO SORRY FOR THIS NOISE. 100 […]

Celebrating all the things without being an asshole

There are a lot of things that people around me want that I’m not entirely sure I’m interested in. I don’t want a lot of things that I think my people in life want for me. I’m probably doing a fair bit of projecting in that last statement because the best people in my life […]

Everything is different/the same forever.

I have been to a lot of weddings in the last year or so. Weddings on weddings on weddings. For a person who is single, my Instagram is overflowing with photos of floral arrangements, bridesmaid dresses, and bachelorette party hashtags. I’ve got another one coming up next weekend and another one at the end of […]

Family, goals, and moving targets

My big brother has been kind of a moving target in my life — the embodiment of goals and ideals that, by design, I can never reach. He’s four years older and that has meant that for the last decade he has been setting a standard of achievement. Future achievement. Stuff to worry about later. There’s something […]

I don’t get out much.

It has been a busy few weeks. Sometimes in my quest to record everything I get so overwhelmed by creating a proper narrative for each event that I record nothing. I’d hate to let that happen now, on the heels of a couple very busy weeks. I’m bundled up in my over-air conditioned basement after […]

Adult? #AirheadsNeeded

This post is sponsored by Airheads Candy. I received compensation for creating videos and blog posts. As always, all thoughts, feelings, and general absurdity are entirely my own. – Last week was just part one of two in this “LOLZ I’m an airhead” series. I could really make this go on and on forever, but […]
