Hello friends, Happy Monday! This will be my last post for a few weeks – for those who don’t know, I will be traveling to join an archaeological excavation, and will have limited/no access to wifi. I finally finished packing for my trip yesterday, and today I’ve been packing for my eventual move to grad…
What’s Stopping You?
Hello, friends, happy Monday! I’ve been having a busy last few days, filled with hanging out with family, friends, and strangers. At one point last week, I had someone comment on my life, which, if you go by the highlights, has been extremely exciting and, as she put it, “like an adventure novel”. To be…
Book Review: The Bride Test
Hello friends, happy Monday! In between packing, work, and emails, I’ve managed to zip through yet another non-academic novel that I thoroughly enjoyed! The Bride Test, by Helen Hoang, dives into the world of Esme, a mixed Vietnamese country girl who is chosen by a mysterious woman to marry her American-Vietnamese son, Khai. Going to…
Book Review: Wildcard
Hello friends, happy Tuesday! Sorry for the delay in this post – I just graduated, and between returning home, unpacking ALL my stuff, and spending time with my family, I haven’t had a moment to catch my breath! Still, I did manage to finish one, non-academic book in the last week – Wildcard, the sequel…
The Closing of a Chapter
Ahh, it’s been a wild week, huh? Or maybe it hasn’t been for you – lol, it’s definitely been crazy for me, though! Last week, I survived my finals, I thought I failed an exam that I actually did well in, I was honest with a crush, I said (temporary) good-byes to my friends here…
I’ve Changed (& that’s ok)
Hello friends, happy Sunday! I have my last undergrad final EVER this Tuesday, and then next Tuesday I graduate!! Also, I just turned 20 a few days ago. SO, it makes sense that I’ve been feeling very nostalgic lately, and, in particular, I’ve been really thinking about how I’ve changed as a human being. It’s…
20 Skills to Learn by 20
Hello friends, happy Saturday! I’m uploading this blog post a little early, because this upcoming week I will be celebrating my birthday, writing my final essays, and also preparing for graduation. Last year, I made a post about 19 things I learned at 19, but now that I’m older and wiser (hehe) I think that…
My Last Week of Undergrad
Hello friends, happy Monday! This is it, my last week of undergrad!! Well, technically I still have Dead Week (where there are no classes but we have to study) and Finals Week, but this is my last week of being taught new material in my courses. If you’re new here, then let me provide some…
Religion in the Modern World
Hello friends, happy Sunday! And, for those of you who are Christian, happy Easter! I’m a bit sad right now – I woke up to the news of bombings in Sri Lankan churches, with hundreds of people dying and in pain. This is right after the news of the fire at Notre Dame, which, although…
Trying New Things
Hello friends, happy Sunday! I’m writing this post a day early, because I have a busy week ahead, but I still want to keep in touch with y’all 🙂 Yesterday, I had a really good day. I got to spend time with someone I love (I suppose you could call her a ‘best friend’, but…
