Quarantine has been a lonely experience for everyone, but it’s crazy to see how differently certain people respond to it. I am an extrovert and I get my energy through being around other people, so to say I’ve been feeling down in the dumps would be an understatement. Only in the last couple days haveContinue reading “An Extrovert’s Greatest Nightmare”

Time to Suck It Up and Get Back to Work
I haven’t blogged in a while, and there’s really no excuse now that we all have 24 hours of free time a day. I’ll just fill you in on what my life has been for the past couple weeks. I had a trip planned to Florida over spring break, and I did end up going,Continue reading “Time to Suck It Up and Get Back to Work”
The World’s Stopped Spinning
It’s crazy to me how a week ago, the corona virus was nothing more than a joke to most people around here, especially people my age. Now, with each new day comes another plethora of cancellations and postponed events, and it really feels like the world, the world that never sleeps, has come grinding toContinue reading “The World’s Stopped Spinning”
Driving Pet Peeves
Driving has been one of my favorite freedoms/privileges to gain as a teenager. I saved up for almost a year with a job at Lion’s Choice(which I have some not-so-fun but funny stories from) and purchased my prized possession: a cream-colored 2005 Volkswagen Beetle convertible, which I named Lilo. The roof and windows need(ed) repair,Continue reading “Driving Pet Peeves”
Ohio State’s Morrill Scholars Program
This is just some exciting news in a blog post! After high school, I want to pursue Computer Science as my current major of choice. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if this were to change, but I know that Comp Sci is something I thoroughly enjoy and am decently good at. My top collegesContinue reading “Ohio State’s Morrill Scholars Program”
Blood Drive!
Last week, I missed my creative writing and website programming classes to donate at the school’s blood drive. The school hosts two drives each year, and this was my third time donating. The first time you donate, they notify you a few weeks after the donation to let you know what blood type you are,Continue reading “Blood Drive!”
Sick Hypocrite
Everyone seems to be getting sick everywhere. The flu is raging right now, and I would really hate to catch it. Every time that I’ve ever been sick, I always deny it for no good reason. It’s not a I-know-I’m-sick-but-I-don’t-care sort of thing, more of a I-genuinely-don’t-think-I’m-sick-til-everyone-tells-me-I-need-to-go-home thing. For instance, freshman year, we were doingContinue reading “Sick Hypocrite”
Failed First Kiss
This is a story I alluded to briefly on the get-to-know-you quizzes we made at the beginning of the year. It was the summer between my freshman and sophomore year, and I had just started a relationship with this guy who I had had a massive crush on for a while. For privacy reasons, weContinue reading “Failed First Kiss”
Skipping and S’mores
In the eighth grade, I went to middle school in Florida. They had strange required classes, none of which ever had actual importance. This year, I was taking a computer essentials class, which was just a (VERY) basic introduction to Microsoft Word. Needless to say, I worked much faster than the planned pace of theContinue reading “Skipping and S’mores”
The Pop-Stealing Club
When I was 4 years old, my older sister, Lucy(7 years old), formed a “Pop Stealing Club.” We lived in Ohio at the time, so “pop” was the only name we knew soda by. The members of the club were my sister, myself, and my little brother, Charlie(3 years old). We were sugar addicts whoContinue reading “The Pop-Stealing Club”
