May 15th, 2026 “Wow, it went so fast!” This is the most common response I receive when I tell someone that I graduate from school this month. And, with all due respect, this has not been my experience at all. No, this has been two of the longest years of my life, in the veryContinue reading “Not So Fast: My Time At DCTC”

Undone: My Graduation Speech
May 7th, 2026 Whoa! My heart is bursting. A massive and sincere thank you to everyone who came out to Commencement and supported me tonight; I love you all so much. A wonderful evening and every single person I saw and talked to was so lovely. My speech went fine, but! A whole page wasContinue reading “Undone: My Graduation Speech”
Star Wars Day 2026
May 4th, 2026 Happy Star Wars Day! I have a million photos from a galaxy far, far away to choose from but I want to share this selfie from one of my favorite ever Star Wars experiences with my favorite ever Jedi (then not-a-Jedi, spoiler). Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano, was at TwinContinue reading “Star Wars Day 2026”
Dreaming of Denmark
April 22nd, 2026 I’ve been dreaming about Denmark. Years ago, I took a DNA test and it confirmed a lot of what I knew: Norwegian (what up lefse), German (natürluch), a little Irish (obvs), and British. But it also revealed that I had strong Danish genes, which is delightful to me: LEGO and I shareContinue reading “Dreaming of Denmark”
Guthrie Theater Trip, Part 2
April 11th, 2026 I’m obsessed with the Guthrie. Not lowkey. Like, the highest key. Last year, our Creative Arts & Writing Club took a trip to the theater to take in a tour and see Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. As a former drama club president, it was easily one of the highlights of my first yearContinue reading “Guthrie Theater Trip, Part 2”
BPA State Leadership Conference 2026
March 8th, 2026 I participated in my first Business Professionals of America State Conference yesterday and it was a blast! I was definitely a theater kid in high school (ahem, drama club president here) so, between that and always having a job, I didn’t really have time for any other clubs or organizations. When IContinue reading “BPA State Leadership Conference 2026”
Loons Opener 2026
February 28th, 2026 The key is to keep your feet warm. This is my second year in a row going to the Loons home opener (yes, Allianz Field is an outdoor stadium; yes, our season currently begins in February). Last year, I wore normal ass socks inside normal ass shoes and I hung on toContinue reading “Loons Opener 2026”
Now Hireable
February 23rd, 2026 It feels impossible to believe that in just about two months, I’ll be graduating from school with my AAS in Graphic Design. This unexpected and wildly rewarding part of my journey is coming to end. That being said: I am currently and actively weighing my future. I’m bookmarking jobs and workplaces ofContinue reading “Now Hireable”
We The People
January 28th, 2026 When’s the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? This isn’t a flex or a question of condescension; I don’t actually know if I had ever read it and our Constitution front-to-back in my life until this week. (I found this cute pocket version at my local Barnes & Noble.) ItContinue reading “We The People”
How Could They Understand?
January 25th, 2026 I barely sleep, I’m stressed out all the time and I’m not sure how any of us can be expected to function in any capacity; never mind that the constant need to feel functional is just a side effect of the late stage capitalism. First of all: hi to all the newContinue reading “How Could They Understand?”
