Alumni business

While a lot of this happened yesterday, I spent extra time throwing things together for a more fleshed out blog post now. Just after Graduation a few weeks ago, I joined the Cal State Fullerton Alumni Association. https://twitter.com/jdrochlin/status/1130923180040736768?s=21 See? Tweeted and everything to prove it. After a good amount of time spent resting, helping with …

Statistically surpassing 2017

About three days ago, the amount of views my blog has accrued this year surpassed the total from 2017. With a lead-in sentence like that I'm sure you're expecting this post to be an exercise in prideful self-fellatio. To an extent I suppose it is, but part of the reason why it's cool is because …

Wrapping up Gaming

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. You heard it here first. I'm officially done with Gaming... In American Culture. You know, that class I was taking for fun with my friend Mimi this last semester? Despite it neither fitting into my Comm major nor my Psych minor. As you may recall from this great post, that …

No love for these bridal heroes

Good afternoon, world! Been a while. I took the last few days off because I was spending extra time with my grandparents and... https://twitter.com/jdrochlin/status/1130184130459721729?s=21 That. After one whole day doing absolutely nothing post-Graduation, it's about time I jump back into the saddle for my daily writing exercises! What better catalyst for that writing resurgence than …

My new Let’s Play channel

What's up, gamers. T1meslayer here with a channel update for all y'all. A few months ago I launched a series of toy unboxing videos with my sister that has gone on to achieve great acclaim. That first video has almost 100 views, and that not-LEGO Mimikyu was a star in my class' Dungeons and Dragons campaign. …

Graduation hardware

It's honestly not an exaggeration to say that I might pass out at graduation this Sunday from some heat-related illness due to all of the things I'll be carrying. That sounds like I'm looking for an excuse to brag, but I swear I'm not. The Department of Communications commencement is going to be held out …

That time of year again

Hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day! We Rochlin children celebrated by getting my Mom breakfast donuts (as requested), went out for lunch and then had fancy home-cooked pasta for dinner. A very food-focused affair. Spending the morning and afternoon with her (as well as the night with my friends losing hours to Minecraft) left me with …

Meeting expectations

If my life were a series of Sesame Street episodes, the word of the day would be: Meetings. Pretty much as soon as I woke up, I joined Mom at a local Starbucks to have breakfast with Tatjana — the wife of Magic Moreno, who I spoke to for Gladeo not long ago. Worth reading if …

The penultimate week

My apologies for the absence this last weekend, oh loyal viewers — wherever the five of you may be. I took a little time for myself following the Honors Conference (both my panel and a few friend's panels I attended on Saturday) to focus on the last few assignments I have to complete before the …

My Senior Honors Project debrief

These graduation milestones are really starting to gear up. Today's adventure took me out to Fullerton with my parents so I could officially give my Senior Honors Project presentation. It has been literal years in the making. After I spent some time reflecting on my novel and compiling the work behind it into a PowerPoint, …
