If you read this blog, then you may know that I am not very passionate about math and science. I’ve never found much joy in thinking in numbers rather than ideas and concepts. Recently I made a very small switch in my life that has so far, made a large difference in the way thatContinue reading “The One Super Mundane Change in My Routine that Helped Relieve My Stress”

I’m a Writer, and I’m Proud.
There’s no shame in calling yourself a writer. There’s a difference between that and identifying as a writer, and I also don’t think there’s anything with the latter. If you don’t call yourself one, how will you ever become one? You have to embody that mindset and personality and then develop a habit.
Winter From the Perspective of a Southerner
As an Atlantan, I’ve tangentially experienced winter, at best. Every few years, it flurries repeatedly for a few days before finally sticking, and then we get a half an inch or so. But we freak out. School shuts down for weeks at a time, the highways are littered with abandoned cars, and all hell breaks loose.Continue reading “Winter From the Perspective of a Southerner”
Letter to an “ex-friend”
Here’s a lesson for you. You better not mess with a writer, because she will psycho-analyze the shit out of herself, everyone around her, and the entirety of your existence.

Family Weekend (11/7-11/9): A Well-Deserved Break
I elaborately planned out this past weekend for when my parents would fly into town to come visit me in my first year of college.

We didn’t really doContinue reading “Family Weekend (11/7-11/9): A Well-Deserved Break”
If Life Were Made Of Monday Afternoons…
It’s a Monday afternoon. I am on my way to the library. I just ate a huge lunch: 3 plates of taste good, feel bad food and 2 cups of coffee to offset the lack of sleep and food in my system. I am reading my agenda. A midterm lurks around the corner, deadlines forContinue reading “If Life Were Made Of Monday Afternoons…”
Time Definitely Heals Some Wounds
I was wrong in my last blog post. I was just irritated and angsty and in the mood for blood-related metaphor-filled language. Even if time doesn’t heal all wounds, it definitely helps lessen the pain and intensity of some. And that’s all I can ask for at a time like this.
Does Time Really Heal All Wounds?
In my lifetime I’ve had many wounds. Small obscure pierces artistically punctured to huge, bloody gashes. There’s a particular wound that’s characterized a large portion of my high school career. It was inflicted, scabbed over, peeled away, picked at, and scarred magnificently. Does time really heal all wounds?
