My Super Sweet 2016: A Year in Photos

I take a lot of pictures. If I'm being honest, it's probably way too many, but I had the idea to go through all of my pictures from this year and I've realized that maybe this year wasn't as awful as everyone claims it was.

This picture reminds me of the fun I had at stage crew all throughout high school. It's insanely difficult to be away from it now, but I am forever grateful to it for the friends I've made.

I will always cherish the memories from my senior year theater conference with NYSTEA.

Painting with a few of my favorite people: my mom, my best friend Sean, and his mom.

This is one of my favorite pictures. I love love LOVE my best friends, Andrea and Larissa.

Though we're not one bit Irish, my dad got chosen to be an Aide for a Saint Patrick's Day Parade and this was the ceremony prior to the parade.

These are a few of the Binghamton incoming freshmen who I met prior to starting my fall semester.

Meet the people who got me through the stress of eight hell weeks. They're all truly amazing.

Amy is one of my biggest inspirations to be better and better at musical theater. She does it all so flawlessly.

My heart will always have a spot for these people and this picture. They are wonderful.

After years of trying to convince my best friend Brandon to perform with me, he finally did in our senior year cabaret.

Brandon and Sean are two of my best friends and I consider myself so lucky to have them. This picture is from our dinner with my dad on the last day of school.

I took this going back home from Connecticut on Father's day.

I really enjoyed making wishes on paper lanterns at my graduation party. This is a lantern that my friend Parker and I set off together.


My first time meeting Baxter and surprisingly, I survived despite my fear of mascots.

Dinner date with Lauren!

This bird decided to sit on my car and I saw him when I opened the sun roof. He made me smile a bit.

Florida with my mom and Brandon!

While in Florida, we took a boat ride and saw a bunch of dolphins.

For my last night at home, Larissa, Andrea, and I went to Sonic and ordered an insane amount of food.

Finally took a trip to the mall with Lianna

My brother, Brian, came to visit me for family weekend.

We got a new suitemate and named him Pablo.

I surprised my best friend by coming home from college a day early.

Apple picking with Sean

I visited my brother and his girlfriend in Cooperstown. Such a fun time!

Sean came to see me for Halloween!

I was so proud when I went to go see my brother as Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors. He was absolutely amazing.

While I was home, Andrea and I got drinks at a nearby cafe.


During Thanksgiving break, I saw Brandon for the first time since August.

Jazz Nutcracker

I went to Oswego for the weekend to visit Ally, one of my best friends.

Binghamton is gorgeous in the snow.

Love these girls!

College has made me appreciate my dogs so much more.

I went to the city with Sean and my dad and had the greatest time.

My family and Sean's went out to dinner a few days after Christmas.

2016 was a great year and I plan on filling my 2017 with just as many pictures!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
