I have been doing a lot of thinking about the creative process lately, and how we come to take these millions of random and strange ideas bobbing around in the oceans of our head and make them into something. Sometimes … Continue reading The Creative Process
If I finally get this posted, it means that I’ve had a really good day. I have been meaning to post something, anything, for the past month and a half. Unfortunately on this particular day, I have somehow caught a … Continue reading Life Update: Summer 2019
As promised, I have the second half of my lessons to share, mostly for me to remember and hopefully draw some connections between other university students universally. With this in mind, here is what I learned as a sophomore. 1.Cleaning … Continue reading My Second Year of College: Part II
As the new semester rolls on, I have found myself in classes where I have little experience or knowledge about the subject. As a hesitant person by nature, I have to overthink every possible outcome before I can jump into … Continue reading Facing Failure
Having a dog is kind of like having a toddler (but much less painful and time consuming obviously), and my Pomeranian puppy is no exception to this adorable annoyance. Piper likes to be cradled, likes to tear up random papers, … Continue reading How I Became a Dog Mom at 19

As ridiculously busy as I’ve been this week (and this whole last month of college for crying out loud), I’ve began to notice something peculiar, randomly, and possibly meaningless. But I don’t believe in coincidences, and my eyes have been drawn to every deep yellow color I come across. A mustard-y, buttery, honey, dandelion-y color, in hundreds of different shades and hues appeared before my daily routines.

It is almost the beginning of the second month of the year, and as the time passes faster than bearable, I’ve gotten into the habit of making sure I take care of business. Anyone who knows me or even sits next to me in public is aware that I govern my life solely by the use of to-do lists. I make them for every day, every week, every month, and every year.
