Baking & Pastry Innovation & Entrepreneurship Day Seminar

Aside | Posted on by Keanu Taylor

Just came back from the Baking & Pastry Entrepreneurship Day seminar. By far one of the (if not the) best events I’ve been to since I stepped foot on Johnson & Wales University. I am so glad I got there on time to be in the same room instead of the wildcat center watching it through a live stream. Although from both places I would receive the same information, the atmosphere in the Amphitheater (where it took place) was phenomenal.

If you missed the seminar or would like to watch it again. Here’s the live stream of the entire seminar.

My Childhood Bucket List

I wish I made a Bucket list when I was younger

Originally posted on Project Light to Life:

A few days ago, my mom called me to tell me that while going through boxes of old stuff I had written, she found a list I had written when I was eight years old: “100 Things to Do Before I Die.” I was thrilled she found this list for several reasons: I had not known I was interested in or even knew about bucket lists that long ago, I have now accomplished several items on that list (for example, go to France and go bungee jumping), and some of the items are hilarious. I know a few of the goals on this list are difficult to read, so before I photos of this ancient bucket list, I’ll list a few of my favorites:

12. Stay online for at least seven hours. (If only I could tell my eight-year-old self I would accomplish this one many times.)

16. Go to…

Nelly in Missouri

Posted on by Keanu Taylor

Just after I have left the landfill where all the trash is disposed, We realized that the tank was on empty. We rushed to the Gas Station. While we were getting Gas for the U-Haul, Nelly drove up right next to us, in his Mercedes Benz. “Why is Nelly here in Missouri?” I thought to myself (And it couldn’t have been a worse time meeting someone of such high status right after coming from the dirtiest part of every state- the landfill. I didn’t feel comfortable with the fact that I was so dirty and he was… well… Nelly). Nevertheless, I took a picture with him with my brother (I’m the pretty one on the left) and went on my way. Once I’ve got back in the car I search his name on Instagram and realized Nelly was here to support the Mike Brown protest in Ferguson, Missouri. The only picture I’ve still have with a Celebrity (I had a picture with Curt Warner back in 2003 and 2004 when I had Cancer. That’s long gone after the thousands of moves :( ).  It’s pretty cool to see him on a normal day.

College Has Summer Reading!!??!!

Posted on by Keanu Taylor

I NEVER knew there would be Required Summer Reading in College. I checked my schools email last night, and to my surprise a week old email titled “Freshmen Reads Program”.

“I never signed up for no reading program,” I thought to myself (maybe out loud) “that’s for nerds.” (FYI. I didn’t really say that last part, just want it to seem more dramatic)

I clicked the mail and to my surprise, I have Summer Reading :(. I immediately bought the book, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, from the Amazon Kindle Store. I knew that I didn’t really have a choice, so the price (which wasn’t a burden at all), didn’t matter. I also tried to see if I could find some Sparknotes on it (For Studying Purposes :) ). That didn’t go so well.

Now I have forced myself to immediately stop reading The Great Gatsby (Which I’ve read before), and start every morning with my Summer Reading and end each day with Think and Grow Rich (I normally read Self-Improvement Books in the morning and Stories (especially Fiction) at night, but since I tend to get distracted at night, I’m making exceptions).
