One of my co-workers asked me recently if I was a moderator or an abstainer and it's kind of stuck with me (shoutout to you, Ang <3). She was asking, when it comes to altering my habits am I someone who has to completely abstain in order to succeed or am I someone who can … Continue reading Moderator or Abstainer

Home-Coming
Homecoming- (n.) the instance of returning home Well, that may be the dictionary definition of homecoming, but in south Louisiana "homecoming" is thought of as a celebration surrounding high school football where alumni return home for a celebration of community, family, and the memories of high school.

I Took a Nap
...and drank an Icee, and went back for seconds, and had a Reese's Pumpkin. Oops.

Wanted to go out but still had homework to finish and an 8:00 class the next … Continue reading YOLO

Because of that, its 9:04 Sunday night and I'm just sitting down to type this 🙂 (I'm still working on the whole procrastination thing). I wanted to do something a little different today. Instead of giving you my thoughts, and going on … Continue reading A Thought For Each Day
A Round of Applause
