We’ve Made It!
So it came and went. Graduation weekend. IT. WAS. AWESOME. When I graduated from High School I knew there was something bigger than that graduation that I would reach. It was a simple rites of passage, but college was voluntary unlike High School. I had a choice in college. It was something I invested in....
A Trip to Broadway!
Every year, the Nyack College Honors group takes a trip to the city to watch a Broadway show. For some reason, every year (with the exception of our trip to see West Side Story) I doubt Dr. Gate’s judgement on the show he selects. Why I question it, I don’t know. I’ve never been let...
Coming and Going: Shifting Friendships
“They say you will never be lonely from the start of each day to its end if you walk life’s pathway with love in your heart, and side by side with a friend.” As I think more deeply about how much my life will change in the next few weeks, I consider my relationships that...
The Next Step is…
So a lot has happened in the past month. I know, I’ve been M.I.A. but there are so many changes going on! Where do I begin?? First, awesome news (that I shared on that beautifully edited video blog) I got a job! I start next week after many weeks of paperwork and fingerprinting and I...
Polish Cuisine, Anyone?
One of the things I love about living in Brooklyn, or New York City in general, is the culture you can easily immerse yourself in. There are Italian communities, Jewish communities, West Indian communities, Hispanic communities, and the list goes on and on. This week, I had the pleasure of enjoying some Polish cuisine. My...
On the Making of a Woman
Nyack College has a new program called the Woman’s Rite of Passage. Our very own Dr. Amy Davis wrote her dissertation on the Rites of Passage for Women and created something out of it for women who are in their senior year at Nyack, recent graduates, and some faculty members. The purpose is to begin...
A Preview of the Kingdom of God
Well, I’ve got to admit. Post-grad has not been easy. But when has transition every been easy? I’ve decided to take advantage of the time that I have an invest in something that I’ve been wanting to do since the summer. My church. http://newlifefellowship.org I go to New Life Fellowship Church in Queens and I...
So Where Do We Go From Here?
…to the top if you’re not afraid! But how do I get there, I wonder. Growing up is hard. I remember after graduating High School thinking: so college is where I grow up. Indeed, I have grown, but now I need to keep growing up. College gave me a stepping stone but now I’ve got...
New Years
I haven’t ever really done much for New Years. I have always either stayed at home and on maybe two occasions have been to a New Years Eve service. As I considered what I would do this year, I wondered if it was possible to enjoy my New Years Eve without staying at home. Thankfully,...
Back Home
So, I have been home (in good ‘ole Tampa, Florida) for a week now. Back home to the nest. It is interesting that every time I return, things seem so different. Cousins are looking older than I am, everyone is having children, I don’t really have my own room anymore and when I wash the...
Hard Work
So this is what it comes to. Giant cans of Starbucks coffee and waking up at 6am to complete ten page papers. I’m generally great at time management but taking 19 credits puts a lot of demands on the English major who has a copious amount of writing to do by the end of a...
