About






Welcome to the blog!

I started this blog back in 2010. I was a homeschooled middle schooler back then, and now I'm a junior at the University of Iowa.  I'm passionate about reading books and writing poetry, two things I study at my college!  

This blog is a formless thing. Back in 2010, I'd write wildly-entertaining paragraph-long posts on squirrels and bowls of sugar. I'm still obsessed with sugar and can be amused by squirrels, but these days, the blog is a hodgepodge of a different kind.  Over the years, I've tried at different points to enforce some discipline or topic on the blog, but the blog resisted and eventually won. I've accepted that I will write whatever I want, whenever I want to. You should also accept this, or you will be very surprised.

I can only promise this: I write from my heart, wherever my heart is. Recently, that's been abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland for a semester!

    Whoa, you live in Kansas? I don't live far from there. I'm gonna follow your blog because:
    1) I was homeschooled.
    2) I'm obsessed with stars, writing and reading, coffee and chocolate.
    3) I love acting and singing, although I don't do the former much anymore.
    So, yeah, you sound super cool. *Gives two thumbs up*

    I literally just found you, like, three minutes ago. Anyway, I am a chocolate-loving penguin from Kansas!!! (Though now I hail from Ioway...sniff sniff) I'm technically homeschooled (Although I'm sort-of not but still pretend that I am), I love reading and writing, I sing way to often for a person who has a horrible voice, I love stars (future astronomer right here) I'm slightly addicted to frappes, and I already made, like, three typos typing this, and I love my Savior!!!
