Freckles Abroad
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go! Especially on campus. Not the white kind, though, as it rarely snows here. One of my friends told me that “a lot” of snow here is about an inch of accumulation. That made me laugh, thinking back to winters in New Hampshire.

My Powerful Memory of Disturbing the Gods
Recently I was asked to recount a memorable experience in my life. I have lived a full life, with a lot of exciting memories, so it was a challenge to choose a single one. When I recalled the time I disturbed the gods, I knew it was a perfect tale.

The Gin Diaries #2
This piece originally ran in the Long Beach State Union Weekly in the fall of 2016, and is authored and owned by me. I’ve been in Coventry for two days. On this, the morning of my second full day in England I’d say I have three feelings about it. The first being cold; the second being hung-over; the third being my girl being hung-over and grouchy beside me.

A Student's Semester In Scotland
The year 2022 will start with me taking a long, solo trip, as that is when I will spend a semester at the Ayr Campus of the University of West of Scotland pursuing the second master’s degree I will be getting. To say that I am looking forward to this trip would be one of the biggest understatements I could make currently. I cannot wait to start my life as an international scholar while also getting the chance to explore the second country on my “To Visit” list, nor can I wait to see the sight that inspired one of my favorite traditional songs, “Loch Lomond” which I once performed during my undergraduate career as part of a tenor/bass choir. The largest draw, however, is the call of my ancestral homeland as a descendant of the Clan Donald who ruled the western islands of Scotland.

The Gin Diaries #1
The Gin Diaries #1 originally ran in CSULB's Long Beach Union Weekly It could only be described as too easy to get shipped off like this, I am not even sure it was my own idea anymore. I was a kid raised in Fresno, and I worked my ass off to get to Long Beach. I hadn’t even been there a year when a cute little local girl convinced me to take her to Europe.

How You Can Improve Yourself by Traveling During a Gap Year
Most of your high school classmates are probably preparing their college applications. Yet you may not be ready to attend a university as soon as you graduate. If you want to take a break from lectures and essays, you can instead opt for a gap year between high school and college.

The Small-Town City
You know you’re in Adelaide when you go out with your mum for a coffee and the barista at the café down the road is somehow related to your best friends’ fiancé. Adelaide is tiny (if you can consider a city of 1 million people small). People will know people who know people who know you and it can be a bit stifling. This small-town mentality, this interconnectedness, is rife throughout the city and its culture.

Freckles Abroad
I am excited to announce that I'm loving my classes! That's probably not a huge surprise, considering I'm well known for my love of reading, discussing literature, and writing. Still, it's reassuring to know that I picked the right field of study.

The Field Trip of a Lifetime
As a University student I experienced, as many others did, an overwhelming amount of stress and anxiety. Post secondary education focuses a lot on the future. Your future as a graduate student, your future career, the future of your field, future research etc. It is so easy to be caught up in running after the next thing. "I just need to make it to first exams and then I can breathe." Or "As soon as I finish this research paper I'll feel better." When in reality, as soon as one thing is done there's something else to come that seems just as urgent. It always felt like a race through it all. First one to the finish line still alive wins... but you also had to pack good grades, extra curriculars and some volunteer work in there too.
