Disney Freak
I am a self-proclaimed Disney freak. I love all things Disney-related (or most of it) and I know a lot about it (again, most of it). My most non-embarrassing but should be moments are when I dominate Scene It! against my brothers and sisters, all of whom are younger than I am. I also get really excited about new Disney movies.
The biggest part of Disney that I geek out about is, of course,...

A Day for the Vets of the U.S. of A.
This Friday, I am turning 23. Nothing special. Though I did feel that I should throw a party- which I am. Problem is, however, is that I feel super selfish for thinking of myself on a day like Veterans Day.
When I was younger, I used to think that November 11th was the greatest day ever- behind Christmas, of course. Every year, I would have a day off from school on my birthday, and I would relish...

Andrea's blog: Dream come true. →
I really appreciate your blog about your experience and feelings about punk rock. there is such a huge misconception about punk that needs to be addressed. I am a big punk fan too (so jealous you saw Misfits, by the way), and people need to understand what started it, and the DIY spirit that thrives in it. My favorite band is Social Distortion, and the documentary really encapsulated the DIY...

The World of a Writer
There is another passion that I wish to share with everyone. I love everything books. I love to read, write, and buy new books- the new book smell is great.
Currently, I have been reading period novels. My favorite author is Philippa Gregory, who is the author of The Other Boleyn Girl (the movie adaptation starred Eric Bana, Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson), and also writes historical...

Field Assignment #1
My original idea was to cover the controversy that was the movement of the “Now, Then, and Always” art exhibit. The Poly Post, however, printed their two stories about it before I could submit my assignment, so I changed it to a piece about the reactions of three different students.
My biggest issue was trying not to copy or reiterate what the Post had said. I did not want to make it...

A Love for Music
While my college days dwindle down to a close, I have had a look back at everything I have and have not accomplished while I was a student. Some of those things I never expected to happen, while others I wished could have happened. One of those things that I am most proud of is that I have discovered my love for all things music.
Now, I do not love everything music, but most of it. My favorites...

It's Kristen: What the iPhone does to someone... →
I totally agree. Only when you lose your main source of communication do you realize how much you need it. You feel naked or lost without it. But, I do agree that the value of face-to-face or phone call communication as decreased in the age of texting, emails, and social media. For me, texting takes too much time when I have a lot to talk about, and I do make those phone calls when necessary. We...

Elaine Alluin: New Beginnings →
I know how you feel. It’s scary to think of having a life away from college, when being in school is all you know. But it can be exciting to think about how you are going to carve your own path in the “real world.” The experiences you have and the relationships you have developed, however, will last a lifetime. Your sisters will also provide the support you’ll need to back you up when you need it....

The "Real World:" Britney Style
We all call life after college the “real world.” I do not believe in it. College is real too, and if we neglect to acknowledge the education that we are receiving, will our diploma signify a “fake” world? No. In college, we establish life-long and beneficial connections, learn practices and theories related to our occupation of choice, and develop hobbies that will someday...

Britney-a-Go-Go
Maybe I should take it easy. Maybe I should concentrate on one thing at a time. Friends, family, and professors have all confessed that I do too much. Maybe that is because I always look like a vampire- pale faced, with sunken eyes that look like I need more sleep and a hungry look in my eyes to boot. But I usually feel like a zombie.
Ever since I started at Cal Poly Pomona, I have never said no....

So, This Is It?
Last week, I started the beginning of the end.
Five long years, and dozens of trees wasted in the form of notes and printouts, I have reached the pinnacle of my college career. So this is what the beginning of the end feels like.
When I finally realized that I had registered for my last quarter at Cal Poly Pomona, the panic set in. On the brink of an epic (yes, I used it) anxiety attack, I...
