friends & photos

I LOVE PEOPLE.  As I’ve said time and time again, I’m blessed with many wonderful, beautiful, talented people in my life. I love learning about where they grew up, I love hearing about that really good dessert they had the other day, and I absolutely love listening to little anecdotes from their day/week/life. I really like […]

weekend calling

One of the cool things about college is that you get to meet many people with different interests that are pursuing paths entirely different from your own. Case and point: the beautiful people of WRBB’s “Weekend Calling” So my friends have a radio show on campus (tune in every Friday from 5-6pm for some BUMPIN’ […]

jolynn

Jolynn Martin is one of those human beings who outwardly appear to have their life together and just generally exudes this aura of royalty you can’t help but be intimidated by. She’s one of those people you’d see in passing on campus, and you’d sigh to yourself, “goals” in response. (She’s perpetually wearing business attire? Where […]

columbus day weekend

(My blog life is a few weeks behind my real life, I apologize.) Actual excerpt from an email from a club chapter leader of mine: “Since it’s Columbus Day, a day celebrating the very mistaken tale of when Christopher Columbus raped and pillaged the native peoples of North America and then became a slave trader […]

summary of september

September is undoubtedly one of my favorite months of the year. School starts (I like school ok), weather isn’t too extreme (no more shorts!!), and there’s so many birthdays (tbh why was everyone in the world born during this month?). There’s a lot of reason to celebrate. (I’ve been super into using my phone so […]

the golden year

Last year, I was celebrating my birthday with my family in the Philippines for the first time in a decade, during the spring break of my study abroad in Australia. September 18, 2014 was amazing. But so were the months following it. Some of my favorite moments from my eighteenth year: From international travel to hiding from historic […]

August Video Diary

I prefer pretty much anywhere else than being in Chesapeake, VA.  Ok well this is what I thought when I was sitting in Logan International Airport last month. Then I thought about how problematic it is to think so poorly of somewhere I grew up in. To combat this, I told myself I would take […]

back to ballet!

I love ballet. If it wasn’t for dancing, I would be without my best friends and an incredible support system, my time management skills, my ability to work on a team, and my attention to detail. Also it really kept me in shape (the physical activity + years of looking at yourself in the mirror will […]

uninspired

So, there’s this version of “me” that’s ready to work — 112% motivated and inspired. Lately I’ve been the “me” who feels like a useless contribution to this world, completely uninspired, ready to microwave the easy mac and finish the entire first season of Sense8 (this is not a drill, WHEN IS SEASON 2?!). Sometimes ideas […]
