October 18th, 2024
This past week I’ve felt like I’ve been missing something, but I can’t put my finger on it. For some reason I don’t feel anxious, or like I have something really important I need to do by a specific deadline. It’s weird that since I’ve been in college, when I don’t feel stressed, I question…
Going to a Concert by Myself is the Best Decision I’ve Ever Made
One of my manifestations for 2024 was to go to a concert, and in the summer I got an email from Spotify notifying me that one of my favorite bands was coming to town. The band Infinity Song was stopping in DC for the world tour, and tickets were only $30. My eyes almost bursted…

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…
First Year Reflections
Hello everyone! It’s May 10th which means finals are over, I’m on a plane back home, and summer has begun. Though I’m very excited for Summer 2024, I wanted to give my first year reflections of college.
