‘Dores
Dec. 23, 2013—Everyone has their own blogging style. Some write directly on WordPress, others write a draft on Microsoft Word and then copy-paste their final draft, and some do a combination of the two before they click "Publish."

Airport Adventures: Nashville to Home
Dec. 15, 2013—The process of going home for winter break is not as simple as you might think (for me, at least). It generally involves at least three hours of staring at my room, willing my clothes to pack themselves, before putting things in a suitcase actually begins.
