This Kid I Know: Colin

Colin is one of my best friends. I have always been confused as to why this is, since we have very few mutual friends. I know that if you read this and you know both of us, you’ll be confused, because we don’t have much in common. But I don’t have to justify our friendship toContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Colin”

The Inner Monologue of a College Student in a Lecture

Where should I sit? Aisle seat? Nah, middle of the row is the way to go. I should have brought popcorn; I don’t really take notes in this class anyways. I remember I used to have a teacher who gave lectures as if he were telling stories. True, the stories were freaking awesome, but IContinue reading “The Inner Monologue of a College Student in a Lecture”

Welcome to College: Part 2 – Autumn, and Finding A Rhythm

When I was in tenth grade, they told me that we were now grownups, that we wouldn’t have to hold hands or walk in lines. But they still did roll call and had our parents fill out permission slips, and we did everything in groups. We were herded around like sheep. But that was highContinue reading “Welcome to College: Part 2 – Autumn, and Finding A Rhythm”

Welcome to College: Part 1

Transitioning to College My pre-college reflection reads like it was written ages ago, when in reality I penned this angsty train-of-thought only a few weeks ago. Much has changed since then. I’ve made it through orientation week, and am highly anticipating the start of classes. Orientation has left me debilitated; I’ve not drank much water,Continue reading “Welcome to College: Part 1”

This Kid I Know: Curtis

Looks are deceiving. I love driving up next to people who see an innocent-looking Asian girl, only to be disproved by my rolling down the window and unleashing hell in the form of sizzurpin’ trap music (I didn’t use that word correctly). Similarly, one of the toughest looking guys out there is an emotional sweetieContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Curtis”

This Kid I Know: Vicky

Don’t forget, peeps, I only write these for people who have requested them. If you were being sarcastic…sucks. Vicky isn’t just some kid I know. She is the best kid I know. She has been with me the entirety of her existence. I love being her big sister, and this Thought Catalog article knows exactly what’s going on. IfContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Vicky”

A Pre-College Reflection: I Am Lonely and Bored

I haven’t started college yet. I am lonely, and I am bored. It seems as though everyone else has moved on to bigger and better things, and I’m still here, with every recent conversation going like this: Person: Where are you going to college? Me: Northwestern. Person: Awesome! Are you excited? It gets so coldContinue reading “A Pre-College Reflection: I Am Lonely and Bored”

Cutting Someone Off Feels Like Drowning A Puppy

You are drowning a puppy. You are so tempted to let the puppy live but for some reason you know in your heart that this puppy, however cute and engaging, is toxic. So it squirms to use its air path, and it struggles hard to win back the right to breathe but slowly it startsContinue reading “Cutting Someone Off Feels Like Drowning A Puppy”

This Kid I Know: Bryant

To put it simply, Bryant is my oldest friend. We’ve known each other since the beginning of time, way before pre-school began. During the rough elementary years, we didn’t attend school together, but I think I saw you here and there at tennis practices and remembered the fun times we’d had as toddlers, toddling aroundContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Bryant”
