My biggest fear

There isn’t much in life that I’m necessarily afraid of. There are a heck of a lot of things that make me anxious, but not really fearful. When I think of fears my mind goes right to tangible, materialistic things; spiders, clowns. It’s taken me some time to put my thoughts to words, but I’ve […]

Why I chose PA

Amidst all things crazy and unjust happening, I am beginning to start my two summer classes. I have chosen to take a chemistry + lab course and a physics + lab course this summer. When anyone finds this out, I’m told I’m crazy. Maybe I am? But maybe I’m just passionate about my career choice. […]

Black lives have always mattered

“I won’t ever be able to see things from your eyes, but I can sure stand with you.” That’s what I told my boyfriend days ago when the recent protests for black equality began. I find it extremely saddening that 1) protests for black equality have to exist and 2) I had to use the […]

Bake with me! Banana chocolate chip cookies

You guys. I just made 48 cookies out of TWO ripe bananas! As you know, baking has become one of my favorite hobbies. Bored? Bake. Sad? Bake. Cravings? Bake! Today was one of those days that just felt…blah. I needed something to keep my hands busy so I resorted to the beloved Pinterest. I was […]

Crying in the shower

Let’s get real. Just because I take medications and seem to be in control of my life, I still break down. I still have anxiety attacks. I still feel the depression from time to time. I still cry in the shower. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows- and you don’t have to pretend it is. […]

Bake with me! 5 ingredient cookies

5 ingredient cookies and dough you can eat raw? Yes please! If you are anything like my family, all things sweet are devoured in what seems like seconds. A family favorite is the classic chocolate chip cookie. Not so healthy, right? I have a recipe that has only 5 ingredients and is a healthy version […]

Bake with me! Double chocolate crinkle cookies

As I continue to bake, I am looking for more fun and maybe challenging recipes. I saw these Double Chocolate Crinkle Cookies when scrolling through Pinterest and just had to try them. As always, start by gathering ingredients and maybe some measuring cups to be extra ready to go. For the cookies, you’ll need: 1 […]

Bake with me! Caramel apple cheesecake bars

I have totally avoided all things cooking and baking for the majority of my life. I took absolutely no interest in the baking process and decided the eating process was wayyy more fun. I think everyone agrees on this one right? Well, I think quarantine has made most of us rethink some life decisions. For […]

Happy skin

Hey friends! How’s quarantine? I know for me it has given me some time to think about all the things I want to focus more time on. Part of managing anxiety is learning how to slow down and find things you enjoy to escape reality. Something that I have focused my time on for a […]

Keep it routine

Amidst all that is going south with COVID-19, let’s stop and breathe. Let’s keep the sick and the healthy in our thoughts. Let’s focus some more on the good news. Let’s all take this time to self improve. While many are still having to leave their homes to work, most college students are now quarantined […]
