For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted a dog. I’d ask my grandparents multiple times, but my grandma would always say, “when you get your own house, get what you want.” And best believe that’s what I did, lol. However, it wasn’t a dog that I got. Well, I take thatContinue reading “Cat Mom”
Broke My Arm…for the 4th Time
I was trying to end my last year at Lander with a bang and it backfired. The goal was to figure out a way for Lander to be more accessible to their students with disabilities. I had been meeting with one of the vice presidents on campus to make it happen. On May 1st atContinue reading “Broke My Arm…for the 4th Time”

Fitbit
Yesterday, I purchased a Fitbit Inspire. I’ve taken an interest in the Fitbit watches over Apple watches because of how small they are.

Journey as a Bearcat….
I arrived at Lander in August 2016, as a transfer student from Spartanburg Methodist College. If I’m being honest, it was the last place I wanted to be. Ever since I was a senior in high school, Winthrop University has been the school I’ve wanted to attend. I applied then and didn’t get in. IContinue reading “Journey as a Bearcat….”

Going Out My Way…
When I do for others, I don’t always feel the need to post about it. I don’t be wanting that attention because we all should go out our way every now and then for someone else. It makes my heart smile knowing that I helped make someone else’s day a little less stressful and aContinue reading “Going Out My Way…”
Nicki vs. Cardi
One of the biggest problems that we have in society is that we have to make everything out of a competition. It’s like we can’t stand seeing each other win and be on top. This is no exception for the Nicki vs. Cardi comparisons. A couple weeks ago Cardi B took home a Grammy forContinue reading “Nicki vs. Cardi”
