Heading Into the Holidays With Good Intentions
Without Friday classes today, this is the official start of my Thanksgiving break. Working here on campus means a lot of things, including having to work one of our breaks; looks like Nick and I are sticking around here until Wednesday. As much as I love being able to go home and get out of…Read more Heading Into the Holidays With Good Intentions
Living on the Border– What Happens When That Line is Crossed
I woke up yesterday morning, walking to my 7am class, the way most of us “millennials” do— trying to use coffee and twitter to drown out the noise of the snoring I could be doing, were I still in bed. But instead, I was walking through a cold building, dragging my feel to class, only…Read more Living on the Border– What Happens When That Line is Crossed
How to Start Something You Don’t Feel Ready For
Without hesitation. There’s really no other way to do it. When you go into something doubting your own capabilities, what you want, what might happen… You have to jump in head first. That’s what WOW was for me this year. I’ll be honest, the summer was rough with two summer classes I willingly signed myself…Read more How to Start Something You Don’t Feel Ready For
A Little College Advice
I wanted to give you all a recap on this past week because it's something I really want to share with you-- yet, with two days left of WOW, I'm realizing I can't do a recap until it's all over. Because there are too many moments still to come. So instead, I'm going to talk…Read more A Little College Advice

Cheers to the End of Sophomore Year
With one final left to go, I am one 3 hour test away from the halfway point of my undergrad career. And I am so ready for summer. But before I get there, I think it’s about time I took a look back at these past two years— that’s what halfway points are for right?…Read more Cheers to the End of Sophomore Year
Exploring the Unknown– The Human Library
Today, I’ve got something new to share with you all— not a poem, but a story about… Well, other stories. This week I had the privilege of participating in a senior project that I was so lucky to be a part of and now, you can be a small part of it too. Welcome to…Read more Exploring the Unknown– The Human Library
A Quick Reminder on Mental Health
Last week I told you all I had a post planned, but I moved it to this week due to some new circumstances... Well it’s next week isn’t it?! So here we go. We are now in the second week of May, what I like to remember as Mental Health Awareness Month and also Asian/Pacific…Read more A Quick Reminder on Mental Health
Poetry in Modern Antiquity
Happy Poetry Place day! Sorry again for missing the last one due to technical difficulties, if you want to know the poem I was going to share with you, take a look at Tyler Ford’s “Too Much” here. In my AP Lit class senior year, we had a poetry unit where we wrote one poem…Read more Poetry in Modern Antiquity
