Springing forward

I am back home from college until September, which feels like such a relief. No more 10 page research papers or roommates (to a certain extent). I have time to read. It seems like such a novel concept as I practically inhale books when I get the chance.
Over the past two days, I have read [...]

Thirteen

Thirteen Reasons Why I Need Summer Vacation:
1. I want to be able to read something that isn’t Shakespeare (as much as I love the Bard, I’ve had enough) or things from the British Literature II selected canon that drives me crazy.
2. I miss my best friend, SMA. Last summer, if you check old posts, we [...]

It’s been a long time coming…

I feel that since starting college in the City I have been stifled creatively and cut off from the world. This is very strange considering I live in the City that never sleeps and is the mecca for information, fashion, movies, celebs…everything. Everything is here, yet I feel so disconnected. I try to gather information [...]

Bright Lights, Big City Beginnings

Tomorrow, I (hopefully) will begin a new chapter in my life. I am leaving for the Big Apple, the City that never sleeps to live, work, and play in College Part II: the Later Years. I am both terribly excited and nervous as I begin this next phase in my life.
I am moving into a [...]

College Crisis Part I: Running out of time

I apologize in advance if this post may seem like a cathartic rhetorical mess of text. It needs to be in order for me to get my head on straight.
These past few weeks have been the hardest of my college career. Not because of course content and finals (albeit, they did not help my stress [...]

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Things I am thankful for:
My friends and family around the globe: I am so thankful everyday to have you in my life. Your support and warm wishes over these past few months have helped my soldier on through my time of uncertainty and college drama.  I don’t know what I would do without [...]

Anticipation

For the first time
In such a long, long time
I know
I’ll be okay
-From “Brand New Day” by Joshua Radin
I am officially going to a new college in January. What one and the exact date is TBD, but I was accepted to an excellent college on Friday! I am so excited!
Upon opening the [...]

Connected

I’ll readily admit that I have not been keeping up with my schoolwork for the past week or so. I was concentrating on getting my applications done and put things on the back burner. Now, though, I’m playing catch-up and needing to get it all done ASAP.
This week has been slightly overwhelming, something that I [...]

College is hard and no fun

Every one says college is so much fun, that you’ll be so involved, meet tons of new people (and for the girls out there, every time some ‘nice’ person says to you, “All the boys will be all over you in college!”, just nod your head and grit your teeth…it works for me and my [...]
