A lot has happened since I wrote No Sugar Coats last year but it feels good to return to this digital archive with new revelations, new dreams, and new realities. I’ve done a lot of soul searching, unlearning, and reprogramming in my two years out of school. I had no idea what this period of […]
It’s been almost five months since I’ve had the courage to sit here and write. My last update was supposedly an epiphany that was going to rock my world and change the game. Let me be frank: it changed nothing. After publishing my last post, I went on to work on my first big project. […]
I’ve hit a wall. Honestly, I’ve been hitting this exact same wall over and over again for months now. Don’t get me wrong—what started as unexpectedly running into this wall has turned into judo-chopping, karate-kicking, and occasionally running full-speed at it—but it’s the same stone wall every single time. It doesn’t matter how many different […]
Hectic. Transitioning is hectic. It isn’t just the fact that I uprooted from my home away from home in Columbus and shuffled back into the hustle and bustle of life with my parents. It’s not simply because I miss my life-long dance partners from my graduating class more than life itself. The weight doesn’t fall […]
A mere nineteen days ago thousands of Buckeyes donned their graduation gowns and their fanciest caps to grab their degrees. To be honest, when I sat down I thought it’d been at least a month. Post-grad is weird. Personally, I’m not having the easiest time processing this transition just yet. I’m still in my “Netflix […]
Let’s get candid about my senior project. Over the course of the past five or so months, I’ve been asked to talk to numerous people about my senior project. Groups of people ranging from auditionees to faculty have heard me talk about the work I aim to create, why I’m creating the work, and how […]
Seven out of eight semesters completed — 2016 coming to a close — means time to reflect. I am halfway finished with my final year of undergrad. It was a hurricane, tornado, whirlwind to say the least. It was the same ol’ juggling trick college has always been with looming future in my rearview mirror and a […]
It’s crazy to think that I’ve already gone to my last first football game, performed in my first show of the school year and started rehearsals for my final Dance Downtown. When everyone got back to campus I actually felt old. I was walking through a sea of 18 year olds with their families and […]
Happy full moon + summer solstice everyone! I don’t know a lot about astrology, but I’ve been trying to gain more knowledge because I don’t think it’s possible for there to be planets out there that have absolutely no effect on us on Earth. So, to share the importance of this period of time I […]
Warning: This is a rather lengthy post but it is so, so worth it. It’s been about a two months since we returned to Columbus from Salvador, Bahia. In that time I’ve completed my third year of undergrad and jumpstarted my senior project… my senior project. Already. We stepped foot onto campus at a time that […]
