5: Childhood games
Ok, I couldn’t do The Ugly today because, come on, it’s between my brother’s and my birthday. It just didn’t seem appropriate. Instead, I’m going to do the some of the games that my siblings, my neighbors, and I played when we were wee ones. 01 | Vroom Vroom Car. My brother invented…
Hey, hey, it’s my birthday!
Or as I fondly like to say: I’m not expecting much and I’m not planning much, but if I don’t get coconut custard ice cream from Ted & Wally’s today I’ll be disappointed.
5: The bad
It kind of seems trite to me to talk about ‘the bad’ during my college experience when, overall, I had a very lovely time. But I said I would do it, so I might as well. It’ll be short. 01 | Having to go to school when it was -40F outside. That is cold! Some…

5: Things outside my comfort zone
I’m going to post-pone “The Bad” for a week because I’m not in the mode for complaining. I’m in the mood for optimism, new opportunities, and taking a chance! Since I’ve graduated (approximately 3 weeks ago…) I’ve been thinking a lot about the things I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time for.…
5: The good
Am I talking about graduating too much? It’s kind of a big deal and it’s just starting the settle in. For example, the other day I was going to save this file for a random project I wanted to do, but when I look for a place in my documents I realized that I my…
Neat things: it’s been a while
01 | My favorite This American Life episode, “Origin Stories.” So good. It’s about…you know the origins of different stories. My favorite is Act One, about Julian Koenig, a copywriter and how his ideas were stolen for him. [57:27] [Source] 02 | My love of containers cannot be contained. I found this on a procrastination…
Scenes from a graduation party
Lots of family, friends, and food! My favorite part was probably playing frisbee with my cousins and uncles later. (I’m pretty good at throwing the ole’ frisbee). Thanks my lovely friends and family for coming and your wonderful gifts!
5: Reasons you should hire me
I’m applying for jobs right now and I feel frustrated. Does this resume really say who I am? How I work? What I can do? I think some of my strongest qualities have become cliched and that’s unfortunate. 01 | I am dedicated. No matter what I do, I can’t help but pour everything I…
