Hope for the Future

Yesterday, a historic moment happened in Washington D.C. – the first Black, Asian, female vice president was sworn into office. I couldn’t help feel my heart swell with joy. I still can’t believe how long it has taken for a woman to get into this position of power in the United States. I really doContinue reading “Hope for the Future”

My Pandemic Wedding

This morning, I was going through the cards Peter and I were sent for our wedding. I was taking each card and “scrapbooking” them into our wedding photo album we had made. It has now been just a month and a day since we married. It’s crazy to think that’s how little time has passedContinue reading “My Pandemic Wedding”

5 Years From Now..

I think it’s safe to say that all of us did not expect the world to be where it is right now five years ago. The question “where do you see yourself in five years?” is a question I LOATHE with a passion. I’ve had this for countless interviews and it seems to get repetitive.Continue reading “5 Years From Now..”

Stuff Every Gardener Should Know

Last night when I was looking around my bedroom, I noticed one of the books I had purchased for my husband two years ago on the shelf. It is called, Stuff Every Gardener Should Know by Scott Meyer. I had purchased this book for my husband because he loves to garden. We have many plantsContinue reading “Stuff Every Gardener Should Know”

LDR: Why Distance Can Be Okay

Two months ago, I was interviewed for a documentary concerning people who have been through a long distance relationship. They were wanting to know if it was worth it and the struggles of being in one. It was really nice getting to openly talk about LDRs, so I decided to write about my story onContinue reading “LDR: Why Distance Can Be Okay”

Knowing Me, Knowing You

It’s a rainy day here in London (big surprise, I know). Rainy days make me want to just lay in bed and nap all day. That being said, I had been struggling on what was really speaking to me for a topic to write. After perusing around Pinterest, I found some question prompts that wereContinue reading “Knowing Me, Knowing You”

Friday Foods #2

Today is the second installment of my Friday Foods posts. Since living together, my husband and I decided to do Hello Fresh to start saving money by not buying too much food and getting to collect recipes for us to try again later. This week, I tried one of those recipes that I am goingContinue reading “Friday Foods #2”

In My Words: My Relationship with the Media

For my final MA project, I interviewed female sports fans and wrote about their relationship with the media. The women interviewed were aged 19 all the way up to their early 60’s. This lengthy project opened my eyes to how the media directly and indirectly portrays female fans and how they interact with them. TheContinue reading “In My Words: My Relationship with the Media”

Video Games: A Slight Obsession

Today I started playing a new game on the Nintendo Switch called, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. I’ll admit it, I’m addicted to it already. My husband knew I would like it because of me being obsessed with Animal Crossing. It is the rebranding of Harvest Moon and my husband has pointed outContinue reading “Video Games: A Slight Obsession”

Advice: Grad School in the UK

When I came to the UK for the first time, I knew that I wanted to come back for graduate school. After doing my research about how everything works, I found it to be really simple for an American to come over and study. Since I am finished (though my graduation ceremony keeps getting cancelled),Continue reading “Advice: Grad School in the UK”
