Looking Back at 2019
Every year for the past few years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) I’ve made one of these posts, and each year I’m even more surprised by how much can be packed into just twelve months. 2019 was an… interesting year. The highs were amazing, and the lows were… well, not great. I had a blast during […]

Looking Back at 2018
Every year for the past few years (2015, 2016, 2017) I’ve made one of these posts, and each year I’m even more surprised by how much can be packed into just twelve months. 2018 was a whirlwind year. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the first half of it was spent in magical Oxford, England, […]

My First Year of College Is.. Over?!?!
Why yes, it’s really me– I’m back!! Yesterday I moved out of my college dorm for summer vacation and it’s a strange, wonderful, and bittersweet feeling. Although I vividly remember August orientation like it was just the other weekend (so. many. icebreakers.) it also seems like I’ve been waiting an eternity for the end of second […]

Looking Back at 2015
2015 was a crazy year. College acceptance letters arrived in my mailbox. I found out that I possibly have exercised induced anaphylaxis (it’s a long story). I decided to attend Wheaton College in Norton, MA. I saw Walk the Moon perform at the House of Blues in Boston. I survived (and passed!) 4 AP exams. […]

Happy Thanksgiving!!
It’s that wonderful time of year again: Thanksgiving!! Not only is this day rich in history, but it’s also one rooted in traditions and an incredibly important message. Even though Christmas will probably always be my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving comes in at a strong second place. I love the simplicity of Thanksgiving, the way it’s […]

How I Survived 15+ Hours in a Car
My family and I recently embarked on a road trip to West Virginia for my brother’s soccer tournament, and boy, it was an adventure. Let me tell you: I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated coming home more than when we returned from this trip. We left early on a Wednesday morning, around eight o’clock. Jamming […]

2 of the Most Important Words…
Happy Mother’s Day to all those mothers out there! In my opinion, there are two words that are essential to say on Mother’s Day. They can be said in many different ways, but the important part is that they are indeed voiced. Thank you, mom! ❤ Yours, HOLLY

Exciting Announcement!
In a spontaneous turn of events, I have recently decided to self-host my blog! I will be launching the new site within a day or two, so if you notice any changes that is why. My blog will still be located at the same web address (www.nutfreenerd.com) but I’m not exactly sure if followers will […]

My Problem with Valentine’s Day
Before I begin, let’s just get one thing out of the way: this is not a rant about how commercialized/meaningless Valentine’s Day has become. That argument has basically taken over Valentine’s Day, and there is so much discussion about it that I hardly think I need to chime in. Instead, my problem with Valentine’s Day lies with […]
