A Tribute To The Best And Worst Year Of My Life
Twenty-Twenty Two. Quite an eventful year. I’ve been putting this off for quite some time. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t want to talk about it or because I have too much to say. Whatever it is, I’ve finally mustered up to do it. Growing up, I loved watching “Dancing With The Stars”.…

The Chronicles of Verona
Study Abroad – a time where forever memories are made, the good and even the bad. Now I don’t mean bad in a literal sense here. I mean yes the familiar things but besides those downs, you can have memories that are stressful and chaotic but make your stories in a few years, amazing. My…
