Reflection: Things I Am Thankful For

6:47 PM Unknown 0 Comments


Lately I've been spending a lot of my time thinking about being thankful. It seems odd that we have one day a year that we focus on being thankful but then take everything we have for granted the other three hundred and sixty four days, especially the night of Thanksgiving, where we in America spend our time fighting one another for the best deals (also known as Black Friday). I'd like to try to change my mindset to where I see the good in the bad and am able to find something to be thankful for even when I am taking everything I do have for granted by focusing on what I don't have. To start this change, I'm going to list things I am thankful for.

A Day in Philly: Eastern State Penitentiary and Rocky Steps

6:10 PM Unknown 0 Comments

On Saturday my friend Addye and I drove up to Philly to see our best friend Bridget. We spent the car ride jamming to old Now cds and catching up. Once in Philly, we took a tour of the Eastern State Penitentiary and went to the Rocky Steps for some exercise (and picture taking). We got a mix of bar food for lunch, including one of my favorite foods, french fries. After lunch, we went back to Bridget's apartment to relax before eating dinner. We wound up watching Hocus Pocus and watching Vine videos until we got dinner down the street at Jimmy Johns. Addye and I then drove back to Maryland, wishing we didn't have to leave.

Artists to Listen to

4:29 PM Unknown 0 Comments

I love music. Every genre. Every artist. Every song I hear. I can't get enough of music. Even though I listen to all music, there a few groups that have stood above the rest lately. If you want to learn more about the groups talked about in this post, I will have their websites linked somewhere in this post.

Books I Plan On Reading Nov-Dec 2015 Edition

2:41 PM Unknown 0 Comments

I love reading. It is one of my favorite things to do with my time. Reading is also beneficial, as it helps me improve my writing and helps educate me and improve my memory. Here is a list of books that I plan on reading by the time 2015 is over:


Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert

I have been reading Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love this month. I like Gilbert's writing style, and I love to read about creativity. I'm looking forward to this one for sure.

Facts About Me That Pertain to the Present

3:12 PM Unknown 1 Comments


                         

It's been awhile since I have posted on this blog (other then the post I made on Friday). I'm not the same exact person I was in the past so, I would like to share some facts about me that pertain more to who I am now.

1. I am teaching myself how to speak Thai. I will be travelling abroad to teach English in the next few months, and my ideal destination is Chiang Mai, Thailand. Learning Thai has been tricky because it is a tonal language, but I am getting the hang of speaking some of the basics (finally).

2. I have an undying thirst for knowledge. I've been doing crossword puzzles, reading, watching videos, etc to learn as much as I can.

3. I have a terrible short-term memory, so I am working on improving it. I'm trying to improve my memory through reading and memory based games/puzzles.

Since We Last Spoke

7:49 PM Unknown 0 Comments


Friends! It has been another long period of time since we last spoke. There have been many changes in my life, and I am finally in a place where I am ready to share them with you. Before I begin, I would like to express my deepest thanks to all of you that keep up with my posts. I haven't logged into Blogger in a couple of months, and I was amazed at the increase in traffic on my blog lately. So, now that thanks are out of the way, let's get into my life.

1. I am currently typing this post on my iPad Mini 4. I have wanted an iPad for awhile now, and for my birthday this year (October 13), my parents bought me one. I contributed to some of the cost, as I thought this gift was way too expensive for them to solely purchase for me. I got a new laptop back in the end of August, but I'm having issues with the wifi, so I thought why not give my iPad a try? So far, I am enjoying this (and not just because autocorrect is my best friend).
