People are right when they say money can't buy happiness. However, you can use money to buy memories and maybe its better that way, since they'll last a lifetime

I remember the first time I listened to Bruno Mars. I was 9 and the car radio of my babysitter played "Just The Way You Are" and I just sung along, not even trying to match the lyrics. After that, I listened to nearly every song he's released since then from 24k Magic to his new collab with Karol G. Once I heard he had a new album coming, I was excited and even more so that I had a chance to see him live on tour. With no expectations and a bit of hope, I went onto Ticketmaster and got myself a ticket on the floor. To say I was excited is an understatement. As months went by, I was counting the days until the date popped up. Then the day finally arrived.

After 7 & 1/2 months and a grueling 3 hour drive, I was there at Gillette Stadium, waiting for the performances to start. After Anderson .Paak and RAYE's amazing performances, it was finally time to see him live. All the emotions just flowed through throughout the 2 hours and it felt like I was back in that car, just mumbling to a song I just learned about. The only difference was that I was yelling and dancing along, realizing how much of an impact Bruno Mars and his music has made on my life.

I'd like to thank my friends @sourpatchella and @lassiei_ad6 for helping me get there and experience a night like I've never had before. A night I'll never forget. taken in Gillette Stadium by @dococtaves

Ups, downs, lefts, rights, diagnonals, and everything else in between.

This term blew me away, both literally and figuratively. Lot of moments stood out and unfortunately I left my camera at home too many times and I don't have many photos of all the people who made this term as great as it was. I sorry, I'm still getting the hang of having moments to capture. Here are a few that I did capture though so there's progress!

I also want to write those who won't be here next term, some pictured, others unfortunately not. I love you all so much and I know your talents will take you far. I hope to see you around one of these days and if you happen to create something, please send it to me, I'd love to see it.

Here's to a great summer for everyone! by @dococtaves

2025 was a... year to say the least. Wasn't the best, but I got through it. I feel like this year was especially tiring for me having to navigate the ideas of having two places I now call home and having duel roles to play no matter where I was. At least I made it out in one piece.

Much love to all of my friends who have been by my side through my worst, my best, and my occassional meh. Wish I took more photos of you all but I promise it's something I'm working on. Love you all lots and I hope to keep making more memories with all of you!

I know it's corny to say but I think this coming year will be my year. I've just got a feeling. by @dococtaves

Something something short films, something something gas leaks

Woah this term came and went so fast and I did so many things, took so many photos, and met a lot of new people. If I'd a nickel for everything that happened to me this term, I could drop out but then I wouldn't be able to surrounded by the amazing people pictured (and some not, sorry if that you) every day! I loved this term, albeit almost leaving me for dead near then end. I can't wait to see you all next term!!!

A (fairly late) end of term post.

I honestly don't even know how I can start this post off without thanking all of you. Everyone who has supported me through the entire year. From when I did my first mashup improv show in September until my debut as a actor in a student production in May. I can't believe how many people have supported me on this journey towards this lifelong dream of mine.

I took a leap of faith by coming to this college, not knowing if I would belong. It was hard moving from the noisy cities of LA to a quiet out-of-the-way place like Bennington, but I'm glad I did. I feel like I've really found myself here and have been pushed by many to limits I didn't believe possible until I arrived at Bennington. I will be forever grateful for all that I have been able do here, even if it did take a little encouragement.

I also wanted to thank my group of friends for being there for me everyday. Through my highs, you all cheered me on. Through my lows, you all stuck around. It is because of you all I live. It is because of you all I continue.

Lastly, I want to take time to say bye those who I've met who will no longer be here in the fall, no matter the reason. You are all amazing people and incredibly talented. I wish you all well wherever your journey may take you and I hope to see you around someday.

Much love to you all, have a great summer 💙 taken in Bennington College by @dococtaves

2024 was a weird year but I learned a lot about myself and life in general. Would I live it again? Hell no, but I don't think I regret anything this year so that's good enough.

Here's to the new year where I will continue to improve upon the progress I made last year, no matter how small it may be by @dococtaves

4 years, just like that

Thank you to all those who've been on this journey with me; my teachers, my friends, my family, and my neighbors.

And to all who see this post I just want to remind you that we can't choose the hand we are dealt in life, but we can choose what we do said hand and that's where real greatness comes from. by @dococtaves
