I Almost Didn’t Graduate

In my last post, I gave the basic update of my life but I I do have to share the story about how I thought it was all going to fall apart. I gotta say that I didn't think I was going to make it through this last semester, because of Research Methods Lab. The … Continue reading I Almost Didn’t Graduate

Did you know that I'm a bit clumsy? I have never been accused of being graceful. And definitely, no … Continue reading How Not To Ride An Electric Scooter
