COVID: The lasting impact
The impact of COVID-19 is wide-reaching. From the social impact many college-students have felt to the lasting mental impact; COVID-19 has made its presence felt. COVID has been difficult.

COVID: What is there to be worried about?
At the beginning of COVID, my mental health began to take a toll. COVID created a lot of life changes from my study abroad trip being canceled, moving home from college, and learning to work an environment where both of my parents and I were forced to share a small space for work, college, and…

COVID: The social side
I remember being told we had an extended spring break. Naturally, we were all so excited! I mean, we were in Florida. What better place to be “stuck” for spring break? It was not long after the first announcement that we got told we had to leave the tournament we were playing in. Looking back,…

Miles of Awareness
As some of you may know, I have been fundraising for Suicide Awareness and Prevention initiatives. While this might just seem like an excuse to talk more about how I run, I swear it is something more. Suicide is something that has impacted us all in one way or another. Some of us have lost…
