Hello! Welcome to my blog—my name is Sue Lee, and I’m a junior at Rhodes College (Memphis, TN) majoring in English and wondering what that means for me after graduation. It’s a bit scary but I’m learning to be comfortable with that.
The last two years at Rhodes have flown by, during which I feel like I’ve experienced five years’ worth of change and growth (making up for three pandemic years) and I’m looking forward to two more–on wings. That said, this blog is a way I stay anchored to earth, catching moments of stillness and reflection, so that life doesn’t completely sweep me off my feet like it tries to sometimes. I read. I write about things I read.
Thank you so much for visiting—and now maybe you should do something today or tonight that would make you happy. Life is one radiant and chaotic journey and I find that coffee ice cream can help.
Love, Sue
May 2023
