This year was full of incredible adventures and trips. I’m excited for the new year and decade, and all of the memories that will come with it. Here’s to a happy new year and amazing 2020!

Here’s to all the unforgettable memories of 2018 and to an even more exciting 2019. Thanks for sticking by my side throughout the past year and letting me share my experiences with you. 

Two degrees, two internships, six freelance digital marketing jobs, and five jobs. As of December 2018, I have officially completed my studies and received my Bachelor’s Degree in PR/Advertising: Strategic Communications.

Another year has come to an end, wait what?! It seems like this past year has gone by quicker than most. Maybe this is due to the fact that I'm getting older, or maybe I was busier this year so it seemed like I had less time, but wow I cannot believe it's about to be January again. I feel like it was just last week that I was writing about my best moments of 2016. It's been one crazy year, and I wanted to share a few of my favorite memories. 

I keep neglecting this blog due to the lack of time, but I wanted to give everyone an update on my life and everything that lies ahead of me. 

There are a lot of jokes about living in Los Angeles. The Instagram account @OverheardLA posts text images with quotes of actual overheard conversations had in this city. While some of these show how superficial others can be, there's also a lot of humor in the eating and lifestyle habits of the people who live here. This is one of my favorite Instagram accounts because it's scarily accurate in depicting life in LA. I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite posts so far. Enjoy!

Today at 3:30 pm, hundreds of college graduates will convene at the Staples Center. A few hours later, they will walk across that stage and accept their diploma. My name will be on that program, but I won't be there. That's right. I am not going to my graduation. There are quite a few different reasons for this, and I will be discussing them in this post.

It's been awhile since I posted a life update so I thought I should write one. For everyone who has stood by me and this whole crazy college situation, thank you. As frustrating as its gotten, it has been great to hear words of encouragement and understanding from others. It's going to be a great summer and I can't wait to share it all with you! 

I'm an extremely organized and polished person. I know what I want and I know what it takes to get it. I manifest just about everything that I put my mind to. However, I’m currently at a place in my life where I don’t know what happens next. It’s the unknown that scares me and I’m unsure how to remedy this feeling.

I live in Los Angeles, California. It is one of the most diverse cities – with people from all over the world. It’s commonly described as a melting pot of diversity. I grew up in Sonoma County which is in the Bay Area. It’s located about an hour north of San Francisco. Everyone was very accepting back home and I thought I'd feel the same way about Los Angeles. When I moved here, the last thing I expected was to feel uncomfortable with who I am.

Left. Left. Left. Left. Right. Left. Left. No, those aren’t dance steps. That is someone judging pictures of people on a dating app. In a tweet from August 2015, Tinder claimed that there had been 8 billion matches made via the app. That number has only risen over the past year and a half. As social media usage has exponentially grown, people have turned towards mobile apps to find hookups, friends, love, etc.

I haven’t written a post about this quarter yet, so I thought I’d update you all on my life. This summer, I hope to get a head start on my future baseball career. I don’t necessarily know how that’s going to happen yet, but I know that if I set my mind to something... it’ll manifest. I’m going to end this blog post with photos from a photoshoot that I had yesterday.

2016 sure was a crazy year, huh? That was two years ago for you. Wow. In 2016 I figured out the type of people I want to surround myself with, I voted in my first presidential election and I had the time of my life. I know many people said that 2016 was a sh*t year but despite all the heartbreaking moments, it had its amazing ones. How was 2017? All of us have high hopes that it’s going to be great.

Last week I wrote a blog post about my favorite San Francisco Giants moments of 2016, so I thought that this week I would write about my personal favorite moments of the year. 2016 is the first full year that I’ve lived in Los Angeles and I couldn’t be any happier in this city that I love. While 2016 didn’t go as well as the majority of the country had hoped (get my reference here?), I want to remember it for all the amazing memories.
