I’m from the south suburbs of Chicago and recently made my move back here in May (2022). For four years I lived in Washington D.C, where I attended THEE Howard University. Ohhh to be a bison! What a ride. 2018 to 2022 were years full of constant change and transition. And yes, I do feel some of my glory days of college were stolen from me because of COVID-19.
I left Howard’s campus as a sophomore in the spring semester of 2020 and did not return until I was a senior in the fall semester of 2021. But hey, I have my health and I graduated with my BA in TV & Film and a minor in Graphic Design, with honors, sooo Thank GOD for that!
I just knew that I would be relocated into my own apartment, working my way up in my field by now. L O L. If I knew then, what I know now. Instead it has been a multitude of applications, interviews, lots of hopes being built up (and let down), and no apartment of my own … yet!
Fun Fact – I had my best friends help me take my grad pics. I gave them my camera and it was trial and error from there. They did pretty good if you ask me!
Look at me… young, full of life and without my tassel because I FORGOT it. LOL
*I was still cute though, so not too much on me!*
Most of the time when I need an outlet, I look to entertain and distract myself from the noise. So, I go watch a series or a movie. And if I’m not doing that, I’m writing a series or a movie. And if I’m not doing THAT, I’m telling someone about a series or a movie that I’ve either seen, want to see, or I’m writing. It’s one of my favorite ways to cope and find joy within a day, even when I’m not having the best one. Besides, who doesn’t love watching and discussing a good plot twist? I knowwww I’m not the only one!
Because although this journey can feel pretty lonely, I know I’m not alone in it. There are thousands of people right now, just trying to figure it out. Trying to keep it together. And trying to find the good in every day. So here we are, about to take this journey together. Embracing all that life has to offer. Feeling what we need to feel and doing what we need to do. No matter what that looks or feels like to you.
Through Let’s Get to the Good Part, I’ll share my life as transparently as I can with the hope that we both may grow and embrace every season of our lives. Every great script has a great plot, and reality is no different. It may be difficult sometimes, but hard times don’t last, and in the end it’ll make for a great story one day! So here we go, Let’s Get to the Good Part.
Oh… we’re also going to turn on our TV’s and discuss what we see here too. I’m not sure if you got that vibe yet, but that’s definitely what it’s giving… so, yea.
Talk soon! – Alyse
