; Sometimes I think I over-complicate everything. But something that really hit me over the head today (which I had heard on numerous occasions before, but it obviously never hit me hard enough) is that in all things, you just have to do it. In my fiction writing class there is this theme that is…
Lifestyle- Lessons and Thoughts
Scrambling for words
For my twenty-first birthday this year, the exciting thing I did was get to pick out some books at Hastings. This may seem sort of depressing for a twenty-first birthday but I really enjoyed just lounging around Hastings with my boyfriend and acting like a child in a candy store (or a Kassie in a…
A little bit of nerdy inspiration for your week
I recently bought a Lord of the Rings video game and it reminded me how much I absolutely love J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth. There are so many parallels between his fantastical world and the one we live in. Now I know that J.R.R. Tolkien does not have this speech in the book- but it is…

My dad once said that being bored is a state of mind (or something along those lines). In any case, I could never say "I am bored." It usually was followed by a chore, to help ease my boredom. So, now when I'm bored I do things like this.... ; So yeah, boredom can be…

Instead of having slumber parties with friends and…
Reminiscing
I woke up this morning and realized, that yesterday marked the first day that I set eyes on the lovely isle of the UK. No big deal. HUGE DEAL!! I could cry right now just thinking about it (the sad part is, I am being serious, not just over-dramatizing). England is to me like what…
