It’s really important to ask yourself why you do what you do. (Not why you order caramel cloud macchiatos at Starbucks every time) (Though this too is an important question) My latest why has been why I blog.

5 steps to beating burnout
Burnout is a real thing. Especially during the middle of the semester. I’m writing this post because I’m in the midst of a burnout right now.

She Won’t Remember You
The house was full of taxidermy. When you walked in the front door, there was a bear, his mouth frozen in something that looked like a smile. In the next room a fox posed on a stump, two ducks flew across the wall, and a white squirrel crouched on a display on the wall. Oh, …
