How to Use Art to Stay Sane in Today’s World
With the way things are right now it’s hard to not feel just completely awful. If it’s not the pandemic it’s the fact that we’re still arguing about fundamental human rights.

Things That Made Me Cry This Week
Let’s normalize emotions.
Here’s a list of things that made me cry this week:

Finals Week
I’m in finals week. Deep in finals week. Finals week of summer term. It sucks.
Not that finals week at any time doesn’t suck, it’s a madhouse with students struggling to remember everything they’ve learned, teachers struggling to get in that last lecture before the test, everything feels like chaos.
This summer I decided to take two classes.

Why I Take Acting Lessons
Do I want to be an actor?
Yes and no.
Yes, because it would be so much fun to dress up and play someone different every day. I love performing, I always have, and acting is so unique. Plus, who wouldn’t want to go to a job where you just get to have fun every day?
However, I say “no” because…

Be Positively Positive
I used to be a very negative person. I thought the world was doomed and so were we all so I didn’t care what I said or thought or felt. And why should I have? I didn’t see the need to be happy or positive or uplifting so I wasn’t.
Then I met my husband.
This guy is like a golden retriever in human form. Somehow always able to make you smile and only sees the good in people and can make the best out of any situation.
And I absolutely hated it.

My Fav Tater Tot Recipe
My favorite kind of tot is a Cajun tot. My favorite place to eat them is at McMennamin’s in OR.
Unfortunately, I live in Cali.
So I have to make them myself.
