If you had told me even a year ago that I would be working in a mental hospital, I probably would not have believed you. Even in the modern age, mental health remains a very stigmatized issue, and it’s true that mental hospitals can sometimes be very scary places. However, psychiatric care facilities (the proper […]
MoreFirst of all, I want to preface by saying I actually really like Colleen as a public figure and I have been watching her content for many years. I never got into Miranda Sings (I had already aged out of that genre of comedy by the time Miranda was at her peak,) but as a […]
MoreGreetings! With Halloween behind us and autumn in full swing, I am really channeling my inner suburban mom and getting into the habit of baking and cooking delicious fall meals. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and I am going to need to perfect a side dish to bring to my dad’s house before then. […]
MoreHappy (almost Halloween!) I hope you’re all staying well and healthy as we continue to take unexpected turns and make strides in this pandemic. Have you gotten your booster shots yet? I’m probably due for one soon, as a healthcare worker, but I don’t have any concrete plans at the moment. I’m actually just getting […]
MoreI’ve been extraordinarily busy the past couple of weeks, as I continue to go through a transitional period of being and adulting. As I mentioned before, I’ve been sort of carousel-ing through different jobs since graduating with my Bachelor’s degree, but I think things are finally starting to settle down and feel more concrete.

MoreThe day I realized my life is not a movie and I am not the main character of the universe, I became very happy. I know that may sound like a very conceited statement to make, but if you really think about it, a lot of us have probably fallen victim to feeling like the […]
MoreAfter sixteen months of searching, applying, hoping, interviewing, and a *lot* of anxiety and tears, I am so excited to share that I finally received a job offer for a real, “adult” job. In fact, my first “adult” job since graduating college! I say “adult” in quotes because although I have been working since graduating […]
MoreYou’ve read the title, so prepare yourself for how simple this is. Objectively, you could make this coffee with any flavor or milk of your choosing, but I always use the Starbucks brand pumpkin spice syrup as I used to work for Starbucks and was able to get my hands on it. Obviously, not everybody […]
MoreAs I go back and read my old blog posts, particularly the entries in the fall and winter of 2019, I am reminded of the person I used to be before quarantine, Zoom meetings, financial hardship, and burnout. My problems were certainly valid in my undergrad years, but I do wonder how Old Me would […]
MoreDecember will mark four years for me as a vegetarian, but honestly, it has felt so much longer than that. I really don’t remember a life before tofurkey and beans, and although it can be challenging to eat at restaurants sometimes, becoming vegetarian is a personal decision I am very happy with. It has enabled […]
