These stripes must be favorites, since they show up in so many pics. #blackstripes #comfortclothes #dodgecollege #schmidcollege

No joke! Today, April 1st, NASA is sending people back to the moon for the first time in nearly 54 years!! The planned launch is at 3:00-3:30 pm. Watch on NASA’s App, on YouTube and elsewhere. (Photos: NASA) #artemisII #dodgecollege #schmidcollege

Waiting for vertical transport in downtown Los Angeles. Although travel times are usually short, lots of people may line up for a turn, just like any other form of mass transit! #downtownla #elevators #sagaftra #dodgecollege #schmidcollege

I took two trips with a crew during Spring Break, for a news documentary we’re making on coastal erosion. Before boarding my train, I climbed this “Super” monument to connect with Burbank’s own “Daily Planet” for luck! #lametro #journalism #dodgecollege #schmidcollege #cesdtalent

College and driving for many students like me is not practicable. I don’t own a car or drive, but I do travel in them when I can (incl. Uber). I also hang out with “Sidewalk Creatures,” and enjoy car seat “tentacle” hair! #static #parking #downtownla #dodgecollege #schmidcollege

Making a break for it — for something called, “spring vacation?” ~Sigh~ it’s going to be a working one… #collegegrind #dodgecollege #schmidcollege #lametro #commutertrains

I’m in the second half of my Junior year, majoring in Broadcast Journalism and minoring in Chemistry and “Grueling.” I’ll be heading home next week for “Spring Break Sleep Studies” — and more homework… #sleepdeprived #collegegrind #dodgecollege #schmidcollege @particles_of_difference #cesdtalent

“Urban Light,” in LA is an art installation of 202 vintage street lights from the 1920s-30s. I need to come back here after dark! #urbanlightchrisburden #lacma #dodgecollege #chapmanu #schmidcollege #sagaftra #cesdtalent

I’ve spent SO much time studying in this place, that this was bound to happen eventually! (It’s always cold in here too…) #readingrooms #homework #dodgecollege #chapmanu #schmidcollege

I live closer to my university (50 mi.) than most students, so sometimes friends join me for “study/hangout” weekends. Recently Calista and I did a lot of both, and also discovered how great she looks as a redhead! #dodgecollege #chapmanu #schmidcollege

In the rotunda of Dodge College. It contains the film school, camera & sound stages, recording & editing suites, theaters, lecture halls, newsroom & broadcasting facilities, etc. #dodgecollege #chapmanu #schmidcollege #cesdtalent #sagaftra #sagaftra

My labs results are in! As usual, they show up when I take my laboratory goggles off. #chemlab #goggles #hardscience #schmidcollege #chapmanu

As a SoCal girl, I sometimes forget there are green places like New Jersey. The “Ivy League” is an apt name. Southwest schools should have a plant name too. How about the “Mesquite League?” #youngleaderssummit #princetonu #chapmanu #schmidcollege #dodgecollege

Princeton feels timeless: ivy walls; gothic halls; walking paths of history. I stayed in a dorm on the edge of a golf course, where I saw wild, red foxes and real fireflies for the first time. #princetonu #youngleaderssummit #firstgencollege #chapmanu #schmidcollege #dodgecollege

I’m so proud of YLS ‘25 squad (’32 coming through)! They’re smart, ambitious & kind. I’m honored to be part of their journeys. Shout out to “Squad Leader-in-training,” Keyarra! Couldn’t have done it without you! #youngleaderssummit #firstgencollege #princetonu #chapmanu #schmidcollege #dodgecollege

The flight to Philadelphia was my first time flying alone. On the bus to Princeton, I had my nose pressed to the window the whole way! New Jersey & Pennsylvania are gorgeous. I want to go back someday & see them properly. #youngleaderssummit #philly #princetonu #chapmanu #schmidcollege #dodgecollege

I went to Princeton in Aug for YLS: a 5 day conference for low-income HS juniors to help them apply to top colleges. I was an Alumni Mentor/Squad Leader. It was a humid, exhausting week—and I loved every second! #youngleaderssummit #firstgencollege #chapmanu #princetonu #schmidcollege #dodgecollege

My junior year of college started with me on the run—like jumping off a low flying Jedi cruiser! So much hard work already & now I have another on-campus job, as a “roving” science reporter for Schmid College.

New from The Spouf! Report News Desk! And for all of my new & old friends, my original, 60+ episode series, The Spouf! Report! is at: youtube.com/AROMichael (best viewed in ascending numerical order). #chapmanu #dodgecollege #schmidcollege #newssatire #newshumor

Finishing up mid-terms, and the end of my sophomore year at Chapman University is coming up fast! Maybe too fast! #chapmanu #dodgecollege #schmidcollege #midterms #cesd #sagaftra @particles_of_difference

Absorbing winter rays at “The Circle” in Orange, Calif. College towns like this have unique qualities you can’t find elsewhere. “Town-and-gown” depend on each other, and tensions may arise, but most permanent and temp residents love the arrangement! #orangeca #schmidcollege #dodgecollege #chapmanu

My faux-leather jacket & scarlet-accents coordinate nicely with solid-concrete, colorful glass-blocks, baseball-bats, pseudo-antique maps & hyphens. Where will I explore today? Chem class! #fashionsideways #concrete #schmidcollege #dodgecollege #chapmanu #cesd #sagaftra @particles_of_difference
