A year can be a long time, or it can go by in flash- as if it was suddenly the start of the spring, and next thing you know it’s Christmas. 2023 was one of the longest years of my life. I was happy, tired, grateful, isolated, resilient, and broken. I think years that challenge…

Finals week is here. Luckily, I had 3 back-to-back finals this past Monday, so I’m done with this stressful week from hell. Thinking about everything that leads up to this week each semester inspired me to write this piece. The Beginning Growing up, I was always considered to be smart. I remember in school always…

“Get it where the judge can’t see it”- My Father’s only rule when it came to a tattoo. This is quite a fitting post for today since it’s World Mental Health Day. You’ll understand the correlation in a little while. Around two weeks before my 19th birthday, I decided to book myself a tattoo appointment.…

I tell myself things are ‘not that serious’ at least once a week. The absolute chaos that goes on in my head when I think too hard or deeply about something should really be studied. And it’s not just that I’m an over-thinker when it comes to some things, I just fail to put situations…

Being a transfer student, I thought my fresh start was going to be that second semester of Freshman year. As it turned out, my fresh start was my first semester of Junior year. Not exactly how I imagined things but either way, I’m still okay with it. Doing new things has never really been my…
