Greatest of Grad Gifts

It's graduation season which means it's also time for celebrating! I graduated high school last year and it was so lovely going from grad party to grad party celebrating my friends.

Pineapple Poke Cake

Happy Memorial Weekend y'all! I love easy cake recipes. They take no time to accomplish, and they're an easy crowd pleaser. With triple-digit heat on the horizon in Dallas, I wanted to make something a little summery in time for the weekend and after playing around with a few ideas, a poke cake seemed to be the winner. I initially wanted to try this with peaches and cream, but I couldn't find peaches in my cabinet so pineapple won. With that being said, this recipe can be used with a variety of canned fruit so get creative, and don't forget to tell me what you tried! Pineapple Poke Cake 1 can of crushed pineapple 1 cup of coconut cream 1 box of white cake mix (yellow works too) 1 1/2 cup of brown sugar Instructions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease the bottom of a 13x9 baking pan. Mix the cake mix per the instructions on the box. Pour the cake mix into the baking pan and spread 1/2 cup of brown sugar all over the top of the cake. Bake acco

A Little Intro

Hi, Y'all! I'm so glad you've come across my little corner of the internet! I am a Dallas native currently spending time in College Station while pursuing a degree in Political Science at Texas A&M University. I am an Aggie through and through as evidenced by my love for Fightin' (for touchdowns at the very last minute because honestly my sanity means nothing to them) Texas Aggie football. This fall I will begin as a student at the Bush School of Government and Public Service to obtain my master's degree.

I loved the experience and getting my voice out, but I didn't realize my passion for writing until I started writing for the Odyssey Online this year. Along with writing, I also have a love for working out, reading, baking, watching "Say Yes to the Dress" with my mom, e

Spill Sesh no. 1 - He is Making All Things Beautiful in His Time

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." Ecclesiastes 3:11 When I was younger, I would read this verse and relate it back to what I saw in the mirror – an imperfect, pimply, brace-faced 13-year-old who was trying to find some truth in her current season of life. I interpreted this as a promise that the current season would someday pass; I would one day grow out of my awkward teenage self, and become “beautiful.” In my selfishness, I interpreted this verse as being a hope for my outward perfection, rather than a promise of how God uses our hurt for His kingdom. Throughout my life, I have strived for perfection and focused so much energy on my inability to attain it. When I was little I truly believed my life was perfect, but that changed as soon as I found out I had OCD. My struggle with OCD over a four-year period resulted in many sleepless nights for
