After nearly a month of procrastination and countless “I’ll do it tomorrow’s,” I finally checked my test score. I got a 510. While I’m grateful to have made some improvement (and overall have a much more balanced score), I did feel *slightly* disappointed in myself, and couldn’t help but to feel as if it was …

Some Life Updates…
So we meet again. Sensing a pattern yet? Once again, I find myself taking a moment to reflect out loud (or at least in writing) on the past few months since I last wrote, where I’m at currently, and where I hope to be/how I hope to grow in these next few months. This might …
On Survival Mode
By some miracle, I feel inspired to write a lil something at 1:30 pm rather than the usual 1:30 am, and in the spirit of trying to procrastinate less, I’ll share right now. Like many others, I have felt very sluggish over the past year. It’s almost as if adding more items to my to-do …
A small reminder…
I’ll keep this one short and sweet, but it’s based on a recent thought in which I found both comfort and excitement in. It goes something like this: your frame of reference is merely a speck- there is so much more good that has yet to enter your life, and so much more out there …
On 2020 (and wishes for 2021)
Late again, I know. I started writing this and didn’t quite wrap it up until just now, but here it is anyways. All jokes aside about the clock striking “11:60,” calendars changing to “December 32nd,” and welcoming in 2021 by yelling “Jumanji” aside (which I did in fact do as a precautionary measure), 2020 is …
On Being Better
I’ve decided to write whenever I feel particularly compelled to do so and have something to share, regardless of what it is- good, bad, or ugly. Part of what I feel this world so significantly lacks is the ability to be candid about ourselves. While it’s easy to constantly post the good things that happen …
Election Night
Let’s get political, shall we? I expected today to be stressful, but I didn’t exactly expect *this*. Currently, I’m in my room, struggling to make a dent in the studying I somehow have to accomplish before my exam in 3 days because like many other Americans (and frankly the rest of the world), I’m simply …
Insomnia
It’s been a while. I know. The last time I published anything was February 5th, 2020. While I have opened my laptop to write multiple times in the past 221 days and even saved multiple drafts waiting to be uploaded, nothing seemed to do it for me. So far, this year has felt like one …
On Deadlines
Life is funny. Just when it seems that you have a grip over reality, something turns up and flips everything upside-down. That’s life- it’s funny like that (or at the very least, it thinks it is). Growing up, my aunt had a rule: never say the words, “I’m bored.” In the case anyone slipped up …
2 a.m. brain-dump
Miraculously, a whole 3 months have passed since I have written anything, which is remarkably …unsurprising. Spoiler alert: I am not a dog owner ( I wish not to discuss further details at this time). Despite that, it has still been a rather interesting 3 months marked by a couple of small milestones such as …
