Switchfoot Week 2010
June 27th, 2010
Another thrilling week of Switchfoot events has come and gone here in San Diego. Starting on the Grandstand Stage at the San Diego fair and culminating on Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, “Switchfoot Week 2010″ was all that I could have hoped. The band gave two great live performances and hosted what is probably one of the funnest beach events in San Diego. Continued →
World Cup 2010: What I’d Love to See
June 21st, 2010
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa! I’ve been watching as much of the Cup as I can in support of Team USA. There have already been many highlights (e.g., USA tying England, U.S.A. 2-2 comeback, Portugal 7-0 shutout against N.

I found great success academically, both at the film school and the business school, and am now officially a junior in college. Not a shabby first year at the university, if I do say so myself!

This simple yet profound statement compelled me to take this moment out of my day to ponder the meaning of life. Although life is often described as a gift – an idea I am not trying to debate – it is interesting to think of life as a disease, or a curse. Continued →
My First Semester at College: A Little Messy
December 23rd, 2009
My first semester at Chapman University has finally come to a close. It feels as though more than four months have passed, but living in completely new surroundings will do that to you. It’s such a rush of newness. New faces, new places, new experiences. At first, it’s disorienting. Then it’s exhilarating. Every once and a while it’s lonely. Time is simply perceived differently when you experience great change because too much is moving and happening all at once. Continued →
