Nobody wants to be attacked by others for their lifestyle choices
I’m a “vegetarian.” I don’t like labels but that is the simplest way to explain that I don’t eat meat. The reason I don’t like labels is because they come with a lot of baggage and people make so many assumptions about who you are when you attach yourself to a specific label. We all […]

Album review: “Divide” by Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran just recently released his third new album, “Divide.” I bought his last album, “Multiply (X)” when it was released back in 2014. I am a big fan of Ed Sheeran’s music, including his duets such as “All About It” with Hoodie Allen and “Lay It All On Me” with Rudemental. His new album […]

Another Venus update
Venus is laying on my lap right now, purring. She is such a sweetheart. Moments like this, all I can think is, “I love you SO much… I don’t deserve you… you are TOO sweet!” And then there are other moments when she messes with my stuff, jumps on the kitchen table, drinks from the toilet, […]

New job!
I recently got hired at an animal shelter near home in NY! I’m very excited about working here. So far it has been really great. I was so relieved to get hired. Job hunts can take a long, long time and I am lucky that I landed one already. On the first day I was […]

Venus in surgery
Yesterday, Venus went to the vet to get spayed. She was dropped off at 8am. I was worried sick the whole day about the procedure. I was terrified that something might go wrong during surgery and there would be a health complication. And even if surgery went fine (which it did), I felt so sad for […]

On Monday, I interviewed for a technician assistant position at an animal hospital and they told me to come back Thursday morning for a “working interview.” I came to the next interview in scrubs and sneakers, and I was mainly observing. It lasted about 1 […]

The graduate
I started college at Kutztown University as a psychology major. I ended up regretting my decision. I think I rushed into attending KU without fully comprehending it. I didn’t think about how it would be, attending a townie school instead of a state school. Most KU students come to college with a good portion of their […]

Album Reviews: Yellowcard, Bastille, & Empire of the Sun
Some of my favorite artists released more great music this fall. I decided I would write a little personal review about these new albums. Yellowcard: Yellowcard 5/5 stars This has to be the saddest album review because this is the last time we will ever be hearing from the alternative rock band, Yellowcard. They released their […]

My new kitten!
Words cannot express how excited I am right now! My boyfriend surprised me with a kitten this weekend. She’s only 3-months old, and she’s tiny! Her name is Venus. She is mainly black/grey tabby coloring, sort of brownish in the light. She was very scared at first, but warming up so quickly! She goes through cycles of […]

Titan
Very sad news. My beloved pet rabbit, Titan, has passed away. He was very young, it was very sudden and unexpected. I am still in disbelief. I have been trying to distract myself this week and focus on the positives but I keep thinking of him and how upset I am. It helps to believe […]
