“What makes someone go wow about you”? Last week, I met with my mentor, and she told me that I should find a way to set myself apart not just for medical school admissions, but in life. There are 8 billion people on Earth, and it’s so easy to get lost in that sea of…

My Top 4 Summer Reads of 2024
Hello everyone! I’m sorry that I didn’t post an article last week. I wasn’t feeling very inspired, and I would rather not post, then post something I’m not proud of. Anyways, this summer I’ve been doing a ton of reading, and I wanted to share some of my favorite summer reads thus far. Now, let’s…
“How to Dress Like”: That’s So Raven
Have you ever watched a tv show or movie, and thought, “I really like this character’s style”. In this new series, “How to Dress Like”, I will teach you all how you can emulate the style of a character from a tv show or movie to your preferences. For the first installment of this series,…
Trends Come and Go, but you’re Money Just Goes
Just because a piece of clothing or an accessory trends, consumers are pressured to buy it immediately without a second thought. Instead of developing our own personal styles, we tend to follow the newest trends. For example, does anyone remember that green corset top that everyone wore a couple of years ago? In theory, this…
Haute Couture and the Haute Fashions
In an earlier blog post, I discussed my love for gorgeous gowns. That love is fueled not only by Pinterest, but by the couture houses that create these gowns.

I’m just fantasizing about gowns. I love designing clothes, but I most love designing gowns. To me fashion is art no matter how simple the…
Summer Classes Have Infiltrated my Life
Every summer before this has always been the same. My days typically consisted of the 3 main things: waking up around 10, reading some books, and watching TV. This summer in particular is going to be unlike any other summer because summer classes have infiltrated my life. This past week I started Physics 1, and…
The Over Saturation of the Music Industry
Lately, the music industry has felt extremely monotonous. There are over one hundred million songs on Spotify yet, I always listen to the same songs. These songs are great, but there are hundreds of other songs that deserve a listen as well. The over saturation of the music industry doesn’t lie in the idea that…
