My sophomore year here at Cal Poly officially began yesterday morning and I can already tell that it's going to be quite an... experience. Quick summary of my two days of class: Ran to catch the bus three times (only for it to be late), started work at the University Store, emailed far too many…Read more Welcome to Year 2: Plan for Success

Farewell to Freshman Year
They say that time flies when you're having fun, and this year… Well if nothing else, it has been an absolute whirlwind of classes, new people, far too many names, and of course, countless nights of fun to collide into what I now hold dear as the memories of my freshman year. Just like that,…Read more Farewell to Freshman Year
There’s No Place Like Home
I've been home for a week, and I've got to say, it has never felt so good. This week, I have done all the things I didn't have time to do over the quarter, like drawing, writing, catching up with old friends, and best of all, sleeping. I forgot what it was like to sleep…Read more There’s No Place Like Home
A Lesson Before Leaving
Maybe it's just the way time passes, but 11 weeks later, and I'm headed back home again. My finals for this quarter finished up on Tuesday and I am officially 2/3 the way through my freshman year. And they say time flies. This quarter has been quite a hard one for a lot of us…Read more A Lesson Before Leaving

It's that time of year again, if you're part of the Class of 2017, then you know exactly what time I'm talking about— it's time to make some decisions. Even though I have two and a half weeks left in my second quarter of freshman year, I remember the stress of college decisions and acceptances…Read more Let’s talk about College
More than a label, More than a month
I could have sworn that this quarter just began a week ago, let alone Black History Month, yet somehow there are three weeks left before these classes are over. This is my final post on the black history month subject. But that’s the thing, it isn't simply a subject to me— just because we spend…Read more More than a label, More than a month
Strong Independent Black Woman
There’s something about growing up as a young minority child in the twenty first century— it’s made me who I am. My parents have raised me to be intelligent in every way possible, responsible for the mistakes I make, and strong enough to push past anything that may hold me back. They told me that…Read more Strong Independent Black Woman
Time for Change
Think of the words black excellence and what comes to mind? Maybe it makes you think about my blog post last week or the poem I posted on Monday. Or at Howard University, it not only defines the pride of the student body, but also the truth of how excellent each and every student there…Read more Time for Change
