As many of my classmates know, I work at Ingles. I’ve worked there for a few months at this point and while I have learned a lot it has also proven to be very challenging and tiring. Trying to juggle school generally only allows me four hours of sleep and leaves no time for myContinue reading “Collecting Change: CAS Blog Ten”

I’ll start by saying that I am not a vegetarian. I definitely understand the benefits of being a vegetarian to the individual as well as to the environment. I won’t go on a tangent listing all of the details as to why I’m not a vegetarian or use any excuses because there truly isn’t anythingContinue reading “Eating Vegetarian Food: CAS Blog Nine”

With every CAS I try to tackle different parts of the concept (creativity, activity, and service). While I feel like I’ve been somewhat successful with the creativity and service aspects, there is one area that I know I am lacking in. The thought of activity quite frankly makes me want to punch a wall. I’veContinue reading “Dog Walking: CAS Blog Eight”

During quarantine I decided to try picking up the hobby of painting. I can’t say that I was able to produce too many pieces of work, but I started to develop a skill that I later abandoned. My biggest disappointment was that I began to paint a basket, but never finished (at the beginning ofContinue reading “Painting: CAS Blog Seven”

It’s hard to believe I’m already on my sixth blog! A couple of years back (around four) I decided to start journaling. Eventually I ended up giving it up, causing my shelf to be filled with half finished books as well as some that are completely empty. I decided that I would finally try toContinue reading “Journaling: CAS Blog Six”

My entire family has been intrigued by the appliance ever since they got really popular a couple of years back, and luckily my dad has no problem sharing his gift. I’ve been trying to find different things to make using the air fryer ever since.Continue reading “Churros: CAS Blog Five”

My parents have always placed an emphasis on making handmade cards. While this sounds nice, I’ve always dreaded birthdays and holidays because of the extra task. Fairly recently I’ve decided to extend this gift to a few of my close friends. I was surprised by their reactions to my homemade cards, because I’ve always grownContinue reading “The Power of a Card: CAS Blog Four”

I’ve never been super feminine, or a “girly girl”. This fact has always set me apart from my mother and sister. While I’ve always been interested in the arts, I’ve never felt creative enough to execute any of my ideas. In the past couple of months my sister has begun to get her nails doneContinue reading “Nails: CAS Blog Three”

On October 5 of this year I was called out of my first period biology class to the library. I got pretty nervous because it’s rare I get called somewhere during the school day, unless I get checked out. I made my way to the media center and I was pleasantly informed that I hadContinue reading “The Interview: CAS Blog Two”

It’s pretty well known that cats feel satisfaction when killing animals and then presenting them to their owners. They see it as an eerie gift, a sacrifice to show the people they love most that they’re doing good. My cat loves doing this. At least once a month she brings something to our porch inContinue reading “An Ethical Dilemma: CAS Blog One”
