Just off the heels of yesterday's post, I've been reflecting a lot about what it means to not only think about the life you want, but also actually go out and create it. That's not an easy feat. If I'm being completely honest, it's downright difficult and takes a lot of guts to drop everything… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Live Life Like It’s Golden

Tuesday Tunesday: Songs for a Revolution
Tired feet marched on hard concrete. Colorful and condemning signs took up more space than bodies. Chants and passionate pleas for justice, freedom, and equality competed against honking cars and opposing views. These are the sounds of a revolution. It's oftentimes unpleasant. It's both time and energy consuming. It's never easy, but most things that matter never are. As… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Songs for a Revolution
Tuesday Tunesday: Celebrating You
Happy Tunesday, friends! I hope everyone had a productive and reflective Martin Luther King Day yesterday. Much of my day was spent thinking about my life, who I am, and who I hope to become. And so much of my identity is undoubtedly tied to and shaped by every person I've encountered and ounce of… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Celebrating You
Tuesday Tunesday: Don’t Give Up
Happy Tunesday, friends! If you started school today or will start later this week, I'm sending nothing but positive vibes your way. I'll admit, it was super rough for me to get to sleep at a reasonable hour last night let alone wake up at, what felt like, the crack of dawn this morning.… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Don’t Give Up
Tuesday Tunesday: Holiday Hits
Have a holly jolly Christmas! It's the best time of the year--or at least I think so! As much as I love the fall, Christmas is hands down my favorite holiday season, and what's not to love? The beautiful decor, the festive films, and, most importantly, the feel-good tunes. I don't know about… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Holiday Hits
Tuesday Tunesday: My Shot!
Theater has always been a huge part of my life. I can vividly remember putting on plays for my family members and forcing them to attend, sitting on the steps at home belting out lyrics from The Bodyguard, playing Mrs. Potts in my elementary school's production of Beauty and the Beast, performing in my high school's… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: My Shot!
Tuesday Tunesday: Keep Breathing
328. Three. Two. Eight. Three hundred and twenty-eight. That's the number of times (give or take) I've played Ingrid Michaelson's "Keep Breathing" (Be Ok, 2008). First heard on Grey's Anatomy when Cristina realizes Burke not only called off the wedding, but also left her for good (Season 3, Episode 25 "Didn't We Almost Have it All?"),… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Keep Breathing
Tuesday Tunesday: The Perfect Presidential Playlist
Happy Tunesday, friends! On today's special edition, we're singing all things presidential. This has been a long journey. It hasn't been paved in gold. It hasn't been easy. In fact, it's been downright exhausting, frustrating, and even depressing--but here we are. We've finally made it to election day. So, as you head to the polls,… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: The Perfect Presidential Playlist
Tuesday Tunesday: Anti-Bullying
Happy 2nd Tunesday, friends! In honor of National Bullying Prevention Month, I thought I'd share three very important songs that have gotten me through some pretty tough and dark days. Life can be more difficult than it should be, especially when you're in high school. You may deal with insensitive, mean-spirited individuals in the classroom,… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Anti-Bullying
Tuesday Tunesday: 24K Magic
Happy Tuesday, friends! Every Tuesday, one of my classes (shout out to 6th period) selects a few individuals to share songs they're listening to and loving, so I thought I'd do the same here. Music is my life--that's not an exaggeration. I actually wrote about music for my college essay because it's so influential… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: 24K Magic
