My Favorite Memory as a Chiefs Fan

As a devoted lifetime Kansas City Chiefs fan, I’ll take you on a trip down memory lane in this personal narrative as I share one of my favorite experiences with you, including how my dad and I were fortunate to witness franchise history during the 2019-20 AFC Championship Game.

One Time in Paradise

Read along as I take you inside one of my favorite childhood memories. In this experiential narrative, I discuss the lighthearted tradition my grandfather and I had of treating ourselves to a hotdog and an ice-cold Coke after a long day on the golf course.

The Very Mixed Effects of Social Media

My generation grew up while technology was developing into what it is today. We now have information and communication at our fingertips. Social media can be a helpful tool to stay connected with friends and family, but it can also have negative impacts. It is useful but should be used in moderation and under certain circumstances and pretenses.

Special Silly Sayings

Merry moments make many memorable meetings. Looking back, I’m sure none of us imagined that an ordinary evening would turn into a life-long memory of creating tangling tongue twisters and laughing the night away into the early moments of morning.

Creating Memorable Times Through Music

I’ve always loved listening to music pretty much anytime and anywhere. Although music is special to me, it becomes even more enjoyable when memorable moments are created by spending time together with loved ones listening to music that we both enjoy.

Shaping My Music Taste

My sister was the biggest influence on my music taste. I was a pre-teen when she was a teenager and I wanted to be just like her, everything from her fashion style to the music she listened to. She listened to pop stars such as Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. Ke$ha’s debut album, “Animal,” was a huge hit among teenage girls because she wrote songs about experiences many girls go through growing up: having crushes, partying and being betrayed by a friend, to name a few.

Reimagining the Magic of Disney World

Countless visitors flock to Disney World every year to experience a “magical” vacation that only the park can provide. As one of these visitors, I too have sought after that particular brand of enchanting escapism, but revisiting Disney World as an adult has forced me to come to terms with the fact that it is a real theme park that exists for the purpose of earning profits. Yet amidst this revelation, I have found new ways to find joy in the place where I’ve made so many happy memories.
