Austin Update Pt. 1
by 4 Comments Three months. It’s been three months that I’ve been in Austin. Honestly it feels like three days. I think back to a year ago, when the idea of living in a new place was just a little seed in the garden of my mind, and then I think of today, with my fully furnished apartment...
End of an Era
by Leave a Comment Ya’ll, 2019 was a REALLY GOOD year. If I’m being completely honest, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say I’ve had a good year. I know a lot of my photos and social media show my travels and friends and all the good going on in my life, but more often than...

The Big 23
by 1 Comment Goodbye Taylor Swift’s “22”, hello Jordan Year. With my birthday less than 24 hours away, I was doing some research to see what, if any, significance the number 23 held. A few interesting facts I came across: Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to the start of human life. The nuclei of cells in human bodies have...
