Things my boyfriend has done since downloading Pokemon Go

What It’s Like to Work Full Time While Getting a Master’s Degree
[TLDR version] It’s like this: For those of you following the intriguing scattered random chronicles of my life, you’ll know I had the dumbass idea of starting a full time graduate program in January this year. I finished three classes in May then picked up two more a week later. They were six week courses and they both covered the material Continue reading

Seven Years
Seven years ago today, I walked onto a horse ranch to begin a hundred hours of community service required for my high school graduation. I’d wanted to get a head start on my hours and complete some work during the summer before senior year. I figured I could do a few hours a week for Continue reading

And I can’t stop the pain. When you love the horses you care for with everything you have, you don’t Continue reading

What Scares Me the Most
What scares me the most isn’t the fact that I was almost killed on Monday. Horses are unpredictable. If every volunteer I train at the ranch goes home every day with that fact engrained in their thoughts, then I’ve done my job for the day. Horses are huge, powerful, and they move fast. Our job as Continue reading

This is Why I Hated Working Retail
I’d like to nominate the guy recently in front of me in line at CVS as the Biggest Jerk in the World. I ran over to the store earlier to grab candy (because why not) and went to stand in line to check out. It was something like 8 o’clock, there was one cashier, and Continue reading

My 100th Post, Some Recaps, and A Farewell to Sanity
This post jumps all over the place, but then again so do I. So maybe it works out, somehow. Today I looked back a bit over this blog, which I started in April 2012. 100 posts later, I am marveling at the life journey I’ve had since I started Shorts and Snippets, particularly over this past year Continue reading
