Before any of you click away, being a One Direction fangirl isn't always rainbows and sunshine; mentally, it has messed me up pretty badly. Like most of my YouTube addictions, I watched interviews and performances of theirs whenever I had the chance. However, I was also comparing myself to the band members' girlfriends. Not that...

Reflections on the Year 2020
First of all, I know I had a collage for last year's post reflecting on 2019, but I didn't do that for 2020 because I didn't do much other than write on my blog, watch a lot of YouTube, and listen to bands such as Def Leppard, AC/DC, Metallica, and Iron Maiden. So nothing special, to be... Continue Reading →
I’m Finally 22, So What’s New?
On Monday, Nov. 30, I turned 22 years old, and no, I did not sing Taylor Swift's "22" that day. But it was a great day; I got to see my grandma, I had chicken katsu from L&L for lunch, two of my Amazon CDs came in, I had spring rolls and fried shrimp for... Continue Reading →

Taking College Courses Online During a Pandemic
I've been taking online classes since March, I believe. It's already November, and we still have yet to find a cure for COVID-19. But enough about that, I want to take the time to do a mental check and talk about my experience with online classes so far. One thing for sure is taking online... Continue Reading →
Lessons from the Late Great Steve Clark
It's been a while since I talked about Steve Clark, but he was an incredible individual. I've never met him, but I wish I did. He has changed my perspective on life and the way I look at different types of music, specifically rock and heavy metal music. I won't get into how Clark died... Continue Reading →
How Music Has Shaped My Mental Health
I'm no therapist, but I know what music does to people! There's a song for everything; breakup songs, love songs, sad songs, feel-good songs, and angry songs. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I would play a Def Leppard song and immediately feel better. Over time, I've learned that some tracks aren't the best to... Continue Reading →
Final Thoughts on My Junior Year of College
I knew my junior year was going to be the hardest one in my college career, and this was before COVID-19 started. In Fall 2019, I changed my major to communication, I joined the PRSSA, and the Disney Ohana Club gained some new officers, meaning I had to adjust to working with new people. Spring...

How COVID-19 Has Changed Me
When this pandemic first started, I thought it was going to come and pass, like the flu season, but I had no idea this would turn my life upside down! The first few weeks of the quarantine, I was fine. I had Bon Jovi and Def Leppard concerts planned for the day, and I was... Continue Reading →
What I Learned From High School
For those of you that don't personally know me, I didn't have an ideal high school experience. It was the opposite of that. I didn't hate it entirely, though; I made some great friends, and I'm thankful for my time in the band. As soon as high school ended, I promised myself that I would... Continue Reading →
