To The Nursing Assistants

Today marks my official last day working as a certified nursing assistant in a nursing home. Over this past year and a half I've learned so much, and I've seen so much more. Being a CNA has been quite the experience to say the least. It was my first full time job, and my first time working in

Fall Festivities!

I could go on and on about the everything that I love about fall -- the crisp cool air, the crunching of leaves beneath my feet, and trees with their leaves painted with beautiful colors are just to name a few. I can honestly say that the fall season in Upstate New York cannot be compared to anywhere

Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse 2015

I'm sure you've all heard about the supermoon lunar eclipse that happened last night. I took the opportunity to practice some night photography along with capturing this phenomenon. Night photography is definitely not easy. A lot of experimentation was involved for me to manage to get these two pictures that I really liked. I was mostly fiddling around

In Case You Needed Some Motivation.

The twenties are a time of change. Graduating college, job searching, graduate school, traveling, etc. It's the decade where we are still young enough to do what we want and have the times of our lives, but old enough to understand we need to buckle down and really take a look at ourselves to see where our lives

Getting Ready for Fall!

As summer is coming to a close, I'm pretty much in shock as to how fast this summer has gone by. I feel as if we've only had summer for about a month and now we have to go back to the cold very soon. However, the bright side to that is the fall season! Fall is one

Weekend Getaway: Boston, MA

This past weekend I stayed in Boston, it was my first time ever visiting this city and it's been on my to do list for a while. I've been itching to take a road trip somewhere, and this seemed like the next ideal place to visit. Boston might be one of my new favorite cities because of its

I wouldn’t mind being anonymous in a new city.

There’s something scary yet exciting about uprooting yourself and moving to a place where no one knows of your existence. Not one person knows your name. Slowly but surely, you make your world a little bit bigger and expand your horizons a bit more. No doubt it was terrifying when I first did it five years ago, but

Unplug.

I've cut back on my technology use. I think that our smartphones, and social media in general really consumes a lot of our time, and more of my time than I'd like it to. Smartphones have literally become attached to us like another limb. Many times I've watched people at restaurants have periods of silence with a table

Quirks

I like noticing people’s quirks. I like seeing the different things that makes their eyes light up. I enjoy noticing how they laugh, and the gestures they use when they're nervous. It’s the oddities that they find beauty in that you never noticed before. And when they are absolutely comfortable with their weirdness, it makes you want to
