What Christmas means to me
Christmas post!
I felt it necessary to post with my thoughts of Christmas and how they have developed, especially because this is the first time that Christmas has actually meant something to me—something that is more than presents.
Granted, I’ve always known that Christmas meant the birth of Jesus. But Jesus was just another person to me. Since I went to church growing up, I knew...
Comment feature!
Well guys, I’ve got a comment feature up and running! The program I used is DISQUS, and it seems like it’ll work pretty well. So….comment away!
Quality weekend with quality people
I like reunions. Especially when they involve good friends. This past weekend, my friend Rachel came from Pittsburgh for a visit. And the timing was just perfect, because this was just when my friend Hanna was getting in from visiting her grandpa in California. So, we pretty much hung out the entire weekend.

Now, I typically don’t do resolutions. I don’t ever stick to them. But I feel that in 2010, I’ll actually be able to do it. Because these resolutions aren’t your typical...

“…He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’…”

My mom and I decided to go and check it out.
What we found was fantastic.
From floor to ceiling, the...
Daily posts? Maybe
Since I’m on winter break from school and don’t have much else to do except work at American Eagle, I think I’ll take the time to update this frequently. Also, one thing I should point out is that I currently don’t have a comment feature. Tumblr doesn’t feature one automatically, and I’m working on finding an HTML code that will allow for them. Hold tight.

Getting to know me
Well, seeing as this is my first post, I guess it’s fitting that I do something of an introduction here. My name is Jess. I’m a sophomore journalism student at Ohio University. I music and reading. My favorite band is without a doubt Angels and Airwaves. Their song “Breathe” is quite possibly one of the best pieces of music ever written. My favorite book is George...
