lex and the city

Something happened to me last week and I've been thinking about it ever since. My roommate was volunteering at a student government event at my school and I was keeping her company. A guy that I had known almost two years ago, pre-COVID was also there. This guy was a part of a friend group that had split apart right before COVID and I had assumed that he was on the opposite side that I was. So when he reached out his hand and said "long time no see!" I was shocked. I felt anxious and like he was only talking to me so he'd have a story to tell later. But the more we talked, he actually seemed genuine. So when the event finally ended, my roommate and I decided to go to Starbucks and we invited this guy to go with us. We're walking there and I'm making jokes about being broke and begging the barista for a Pumpkin Spice Latte because I only have seven dollars in my bank account. We get there and the guy orders first while my roommate decides what she wants. I hear...

Hello! Welcome back to the blog! I have been inspired to pick this back up again by my sister, www.sophoolery.wix.com, and Indy Blue, whoisindyblue.com. If you don't know who either of those people are, look them up. You won't be disappointed.  So what wisdom am I going to dispense on here today? I started my senior year and things are going okay. I have an internship that pays very little so if you want to donate to the Lex Foundation for (my own) Better Living, let me know. One of my professors has this brilliant lesson plan where we write reflections on five or six essays every week and then choose one topic to do a "deep dive" essay on. It is so much. Plus obviously writing for my internship and thesis meetings. You can't blame me for having this on the back burner for a while!  Okay, maybe you can since technically it's been there since March. Whatever, I'm back now.  The lesson that I have been learning this past couple of months since school started...

 Wow, a new blog post, and just when I'm sure everyone forgot about my blog. So I guess a life update is in order. Will there ever come a time where the majority of my blog posts are not life updates because I took too long in between posting? Probably not. I started an internship at the House of Speakeasy! I love it so much although it has kept me way busier than I anticipated. I've started planning my course schedule for next semester and realizing that next semester starts my senior year *shocked face*. I can't believe it; it feels like just yesterday I was spending my first night in a dorm. Anxious because I didn't know anyone, but also so confident that I could handle anything this city threw at me. Oh, how wrong I was.  Something that has been on my mind lately is obviously the future. I am the most anxious person and as my future approaches faster and faster, I just can't calm my worried mind. I have a general idea of what I'm going to do once I graduate,...

Okay so first, I'll address the elephant in the room: I took a massive break from this blog. Basically, I didn't know where I wanted to go with it. I know that reading what are essentially diary entries is not most people's idea of a good time. So, what am I to write about on here? I'm glad you asked because I have no idea. My boyfriend suggested I write short stories and post them here. I'm not totally against that idea, it's just that I don't think he realizes how much work that would entail. Especially if I want them to be good stories with solid plots and themes. All this to say that I have no idea what I'm going to do and the break I took did not help at all. If you have any ideas or requests, please comment them down below (or wherever the comments are on this, I actually have no idea).  Moving forward, a lot has happened since I last checked in here. I went on vacation for Thanksgiving to an island in Virginia. And before anyone says anything, I d...
