It all began when my mom accepted a job offer and we moved clear across the country from New york to California in August. These states were completely different and I was just starting to adjust to the new life style. New york was cold, windy, and sunny (sometimes) and it was full of tall buildings. The main sources of transportation were a taxi and your own legs. If you weren’t skinny when you got there, you are now. California is sunny all year-round and is filled with girls with abs and real…

His stormy grey eyes pierced into my green orbs. It was evident that he was drunk, and that was mainly because his eyes were darker than normal. I was curious to what alcoholic drink was flowing throughout his body. One quick sniff and I could tell that scotch was taking over his veins.

I think we were really spoiled by 2014, man was that a good year for cinema. While there haven 't been a ton in the theatres I’ve still been watching a ton of movies. I just went through basically every Wes Anderson film recently, and still have a tough time ranking them. I think I’ve convinced myself that The Grand Budapest Hotel is his best work. From the beautiful set pieces, to the humor, to the cast and soundtrack (but Wes always has great soundtracks)…

I am often provided with a creative idea, new perspective, or meaningful message for me to reflect upon and apply to my life in some small way. TED Talks are created by passion, intelligent individuals who have amazing messages to share with the world. While some topics have more of a direct correlation to my life than others, these…
