Later!

Nearly 7 months after graduation and I’m still unemployed. This would normally cause me some self-loathing and make me question my worth but I managed to get myself back to Europe less than a year after studying abroad and that’s something I’m grateful to be fortunate enough to say. It really put things into perspective and makes me think, “What’s the rush?” Life is too damn short to not be enjoyed doing what you love with the ones you love.

You take a sound. Any sound.

A Moment Apart is easily the best live production I’ve ever seen. Everything from the visuals, lights, drum line and horn section were all so intricately choreographed and put together to create such an immersive experience. Every time I see them live, I wonder how they’re supposed to top the last, and somehow they manage to do so. Every. Single. Time. I’m convinced I’ll never see a show as well and tastefully put together as this– and I’m quite okay with that. Now, I’m just excited to see what ODESZA has in store for the future. A movie score perhaps? Whatever it is, I’m down.

The Upside Down is a strange place. But I’d still give it an 11/10.

Meet Me at the Left Lion, Old Market Square, Nottingham

People say good friendships are supposed to be effortless, but when you live in not only two different countries but different continents, every bit of effort counts. Communication can be tricky with an 8-hour time difference, so it takes work for us to stay in touch and find time in our busy schedules for Facetime dates. But I’m happy to say that we’ve been able to make it work. Our friendship’s very special to me and it’s something I’m truly grateful for and value 100%. It’s honestly something I believe we both should be proud of.
