July 28th, 2025 I finished my summer Ethics course this week, and to wrap it up we had to film a short video about what we learned. I feel so strongly about taking this class that I wanted to share it with you, too. Feel free to respectfully debate me anytime. “I had a fantasticContinue reading “Leaving Me Here On My Own”

Shadows on the Wall
July 22nd, 2025 I’m almost done with my summer Ethics class and I am intolerable. Allow me to annoy you with my pointed criticism of cultural biases (it’s like all I do these days). I’ve written several essays over the years about philosophy. I once talked about how all of it was pointless up toContinue reading “Shadows on the Wall”
Higher, Further, Faster
May 23rd, 2025 My spring semester (and first official full school year) ended on Monday. I did it. I took six classes this semester (the most I will ever have to take) and still somehow managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA. That’s pretty cool. But that’s not even what I’m most proud of. I wroteContinue reading “Higher, Further, Faster”
Brushfire Update & The Future Of My Art
April 11th, 2025 Just a little update for my Brushfire fans (I know you’re out there!) and anyone interested in Maple Island and the future of my visual art.
Guthrie Trip
April 5th, 2025 I am forever a theater nerd. When I went back to school last fall, my past in theater emboldened me to seek out similar groups for my educational stay. When I joined the Creative Arts & Writing Club (and subsequently became its president five minutes later), we started talking events, and aContinue reading “Guthrie Trip”
School Update: Spring Break ’25
February 26th, 2025 It’s only a week until spring break (holy cow!), so I thought I’d write another school update for anybody who wants to read it. This is a good one. Grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa (it’s on me) and let’s chat for a minute. So: I haven’t quit! Honest! AndContinue reading “School Update: Spring Break ’25”
help wanted
January 31st, 2024 If you read any of my stuff, I have a question for you! I’m entering an essay contest at school. An instructor really liked one of the papers I wrote last semester and suggested I submit it, but I was wondering: Do you have a favorite essay of mine from over theContinue reading “help wanted”
School’s Out For ’24
December 26th, 2024 Grades were released today. This is probably the last time I’ll ever be able to say this, but: I’m an A student this year! It’s not that I was a bad student when I was younger (though there are probably teachers who would respectfully disagree); I was definitely on the disruptive side,Continue reading “School’s Out For ’24”
Semester I
December 15th, 2024 Last night, I submitted my last project of the semester. I just did a semester of college! That’s one down, this time around. So: what did I learn? Turns out: a hell of a lot. College did not radicalize me, or even re-radicalize me. I have actually been rad most of myContinue reading “Semester I”
Inktober 2024
November 2nd, 2024 My Illustrator class had us participate in #Inktober this year! We only had to choose eight prompts, but I had a blast, putting a Pokémon spin on my picks. Before this year, I rarely ever used Illustrator, self-teaching myself Photoshop to get any and every project done. Learning it (and especially theContinue reading “Inktober 2024”
