What Prison Break Reminded Me About Myself, Wentworth Miller & Everyone Else
This past month I’ve been watching Prison Break for the first time which, if you’ve ever seen it, you know by “watching” I mean barely leaving my room to participate in society. I’ve been totally consumed by the storyline and the characters and have had ongoing battles of turning my “I need to help the… Continue reading

5 Lessons I Learned from Hamilton & Lin-Manuel Miranda
Yesterday I saw Hamilton at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles and it’s safe to say my jaw has yet to stop hanging open. It lived up to all the hype and was somehow able to be better than I expected. For amongst the talent of the actors and actresses, the incredible music provided by… Continue reading

If You’re Willing to Start from the Ground, You Can Build Anything
Can I have a show of hands for anyone who has been personally victimized by country duo, Dan & Shay’s song “From the Ground Up?” Right, okay, that’s what I thought. Let it be known that my hand it also up. In case you’re unfamiliar with this song, have a listen: Or, if you want… Continue reading

Fighting Hate With Love
Female. White/Caucasian. Middle Class. On any given form, this is how I would be identified. These are the statistics I would represent if I participated in a poll.

Calling All Humans, I Want Your Garbage
Calling all humans, I want your garbage. No, not your actual garbage. Not your literal, tangible, probably rank garbage. I’m talking about your figurative garbage.

Music Can Still Heal, Love Can Still Prevail
In yesterday’s blog post I talked about KROQ’s Weenie Roast & Fiesta, the concert I attended over the weekend. I talked about all of the different aspects of a concert or music festival and some tips on how to maximize your experience.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of What Other People Think We Need
Like the skills required to dissect a frog, there are many lessons from my K-12 education that I’ve found a way to forget. However, there are also those I can’t help but remember: Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, the symbol for silver on the periodic table, and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

Give Up Your Guilty Pleasures
When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I wanted to be liked and accepted and I thought the only way to achieve that was to like and accept the “right” things. Be it the clothes I should wear, the movies… Continue reading
