I'll keep it short...
This will be short, but I'm so happy on endorphins right now I need a creative outlet...I really like today. Even though I had to get up early, I was like a giggly school child while swimming. At one point in between sets I was out of breath (beat red cheeks n' all) and I yelled "WAHOO!!!" for. no. reason.

"This Is Life. Doors Open On The Left At Life."
At times in life it scares me how often my mind races and changes lanes..One minute I never want to leave Chicago, the next I'm scratching the door like a caged animal, the next I love journalism, following moments later I'm convinced I want to go into real estate (laugh here).

I think what I love about school best this year is how much I'm ac

Skinny Jean Saga & Anchor Clothes
It's funny what we stress out about these days.Yesterday I found myself having anxiety of things I absolutely have no control over right now. But oddly enough, when I explained my anxiety to someone on the phone I laughed at the end of the speech, "oh my god- out loud it sounds so ridiculous." In journalism school they teach us to read everything out loud, even in my print classes. Often times I struggle trying to learn as much about both as I can, I write for broadcast in print classes and print in broadcast classes. My love of conversational writing has no place in a newspaper, or so I've been told.Alas, the world keeps turning. I cannot sto
