“Be the Main Character”
The other day, I watched a YouTube video discussing and criticizing the prevalent idea of “being the main character” of your own life, or “romanticizing your life”. These ideas have had particular success on TikTok, and are defined by this method of living where you try to make your life ~aesthetic~, oftentimes focusing on “treating Continue reading

Isolation Thoughts
I was very lucky to be able to be homeschooled from the time that I would normally have started school until I started going to BYU. It was a great experience for me, because I had the chance to learn at my own speed and adjust my curriculum or learning method whenever necessary. I never Continue reading

I had Continue reading

Gay students were finally allowed to be themselves and love who they wanted to without fear of repercussions.

Thoughts on Worth
I listen to a lot of music that people might consider “feminist”. I love Lizzo, the Regrettes, and Kate Nash. I listen to their songs when I need to feel empowered and happy. But there’s a trend in this type of “feminist” music that just doesn’t sit very well with me. These women singing and Continue reading

Franklin S. Harris Family History Project
I’m currently taking Linguistics 110, a general education linguistics course, from Dr. Cynthia Hallen, a professor in the linguistics department at Brigham Young University. Dr. Hallen was one of my dad’s favorite professors when he was a linguistics major at BYU in the ’90s, so I was really excited to take her class, and it Continue reading
