Just a few moments ago I signed up for a high-interest savings account with Citizens Bank.

The graduating class for my Social Justice and Peace Studies program has decided to put together a collage of pieces of art from each of the graduating students. We each got a 5″x7″ canvas to do what we please with. These canvases will then be posted on a wall in the shape of a peace [...]

I’ve decided to start a time-lapse photography project where I hope to capture a whole bunch of cool time-lapse segments and then compile them into one video.

It’s a bright and sunny day today and Spring seems to be finally showing it’s face. Are you as excited as I am? I thought this would be an appropriate time to post a couple floral pictures (click to enlarge them). These are a couple of tulips I got for Rita on Valentine’s day. See [...]

Do you ever feel like you just need to get a grip on your life? Are you frustrated because you have too much debt, too little time, and just aren’t realizing the dreams that you want to realize? Join the club.
It seems like the majority of people I talk to have something that they want [...]

It’s not the typical Friday night of a 21 year old; tonight I am sitting at the dining room table writing an essay about the media’s influence on Canadian foreign policy while sipping a glass of wine. Who needs dinner and a movie when you’ve got this wonderful combination? Desperate times call for desperate measures [...]

Here is a short book review I wrote for my program’s newsletter at school…
