    Project 80: The Walking Dead

    Sunday, February 10th, 2013

    The Walking Dead starts up again tonight, and I’m pretty stoked.

    A Story You Can Actually Finish

    Monday, January 21st, 2013

    What better way to spend my day off from school than to procrastinate from homework a bit longer, which today means writing a blog for you all. My colleague Michael does this wonderful thing called “Project 80″ where he writes blogs in 80 words or less (check out one near and dear to my heart here) Now [...]

    Project 80: Papers Midterms Finals

    Monday, October 8th, 2012

    Last week, I spent most of my time writing papers. This week, I will be spending my time studying for a final I have this Wednesday, and  a midterm I have next Monday. Welcome to college. I haven’t had too much of a problem with semesters so far, but there are a few that kind [...]

    Project 80: Waking Up

    Sunday, September 23rd, 2012

    More than half the time I wake up, I don’t want to wake up. I’m laying there comfortable, and unmotivated to get up. But there are things that need to get done, and when you start thinking about all the homework you have, or that 8 am class that’s starting in half an hour, you’re [...]

    Project 80: My Writing Habit

    Thursday, September 13th, 2012

    Back in high school, I had an amazing set of habits. Every morning before school started I would do yoga, read, and write. The past year and a half in college has broken some of these habits. I’ve gotten back into yoga, next is writing every day. Whether it’s fifty words or a thousand, I [...]

    Project 80: Moved In

    Monday, August 20th, 2012

    I’m all moved into Blackburn. Even though I’m a 2nd year, this is my first official “move in.” Last year, I lived off campus. I moved onto main campus during winter quarter (what is that? Quarters??) and I didn’t really have the same move in experience.

    Project 80: One week left

    Monday, August 13th, 2012

    There’s one week left of summer. Technically 6 days. I spent all summer at a Boy Scout camp (if you feel lost, read my past posts). While it was fun, it lasted pretty much the entire summer. I love to have things to do. And sitting around the past week made me realize how much [...]

    Project 80: Camp

    Sunday, July 8th, 2012

    I am on week 5 of my 7 week summer of working at a Boy Scout Camp. I went into this thinking I would have a difficult time being away from Facebook, Twitter, and blogging, and not hanging out with my friends back home.

    Project 80: Stay Positive

    Thursday, June 28th, 2012

    The first two weeks of camp really wore me out. Mentally and physically. I feel so drained of enthusiasm. I always have to stay enthusiastic and I don’t think I could ever keep it up. But I must. Not for the camp, but for myself. If I don’t, I doubt I can even survive! A [...]

    Project 80: Finals

    Monday, June 4th, 2012

    Finals. This is the last “week” (more like 3 days, technically for me its three days) of my freshman year. That means two things: studying, and doing everything I can to stop procrastinating. Does blogging count as procrastinating?

    Project 80: A Minimalist’s Thoughts

    Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

    When I brainstorm about posts, I like to read blogs about what I like to write about: simplifying, minimalism, being happy, life in general, productivity, etc.

    Project 80: Laziness

    Thursday, May 17th, 2012

    Laziness can be defined as moving slowly. Not only do you move slowly, you tend to procrastinate as well. When you’re lazy, you only hurt yourself. You can only be lazy if you have something important to do. If you don’t have something to do, you are just relaxing. Relaxing and being lazy are not [...]
