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 …

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, …

Fun and stoles at the Honors Gala

I had a lovely afternoon with fellow members of the University Honors Program at the 2019 Honors Gala in the Fullerton Arboretum. This Gala was essentially a big send-off for graduating seniors in the program. It was one part a chance to sit down and eat Italian food provided by the Monkey Business Cafe (and dessert …

The last Comm Awards

It has been a long 12-hour day, so let's keep this brief. Tonight was the Department of Communications Awards Ceremony for the year of our lord 2019. Last year I attended the ceremony with Mom and had a great time. Won a few scholarships while I was at it. Only my Mom was able to …

Spring 2019 first impressions

Alternate Title: "Last Ditch Effort" Last semester I started what could be considered a tradition by writing about my early class impressions. Granted that "tradition" was started literally one semester before the end so it doesn't mean THAT much... But hey. Traditions. Given that it is my last semester at Cal State Fullerton, I actually have …

Saying Sayonara to 2018

I'm sure most people would agree that 2018 was a maddening political clusterfuck, no matter which side of the aisle or where in the world you sit. While I can't help but agree with the hope of moving past that in the new year... At the same time, I sort of disconnected myself from the news-y world …

Reading on Writing Tools

It's funny. After spending three-or-four hours locked away writing this ten-page paper for my Mass Media Ethics class, I looked outside and thought it was so late that I missed my window to write something substantial on my blog. But then I realized it's only 7:00 p.m. (as of the point where I started writing …

Like a chicken with its head cut off

Some of you may have noticed I missed a blog post yesterday, which probably seems hypocritical and dumb just a day after I literally wrote a blog post while sitting in the corner of a party where I was the only completely sober person. But I swear I have a good reason for it. And …

Life finds a Way

Don't worry, I'm not here to complain about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom again. Even though I'm sure I definitely could. In my somewhat exhausted, mediocre blog post from yesterday which I completely understand if you all skipped, I mentioned that one of the highlights of the day was finally finding a mentor for my Senior …
