sharing adventures
When I was growing up, my mom’s friend, Zdenka, would often come over to babysit my sisters and I. She was in her 50s at the time, but had a spunky youthful spirit. She had a thick Czech accent and later I would learn how she immigrated to America from Czechoslovakia when she was a […]

About this time last year, I was nervously dodging through the busy sidewalks of campus, guarding my right arm which was in a cast from my shoulder to my wrist. The falling snow seemed to mock me for how I got in this predicament in the first place: sledding. Yes, it’s possible to shatter your […]

I think I may have mentioned this before, but nothing stresses me out more than school.

One warm summer night I had just grabbed dinner with a friend and as I was driving home I had the brilliant idea that I would watch the sunset. It was nearly 8pm and I could already tell it was going to be a totally photographic one. Not that I’m a photographer, I’d rather just […]

Sometimes my sisters and I go on random Marshall’s runs. Ya know, Marshall’s the retail store? Well one summer night we went to just browse for good deals. The sky looked pretty ominous. We did our thing, shopping around, and I’m pretty sure I bought some leggings or something. We made our way through the check […]
