Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a great day/week. It’s been about a month into the school year, so I just wanted to do a little check in with you all. Even though it’s only been a month, it’s felt like three. I feel like I’ve done enough stuff for three months in…
I’ve always had this distaste for the US government. I used to see it as one of the most ineffective waste of resources run by people that seek pleasure in seeing their citizens struggle. To this day, I still think that parts of the government are like this but after watching the DNC last week,…
“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…
Confetti toss! Confetti toss! Happy 1 year anniversary to That Looks Sharp! Exactly 363 days ago I began this blog with a post where I created 3 designs inspired by looks from Bridgerton. We’ve really come full circle, so this year I wanted to revisit where I started. Season 3 of Bridgerton had an unexpected…
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.

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. Throughout my entire senior year of high school, I remember the anticipation I felt of finally going to…
Happy Good Friday everyone, especially to the seniors in high school. You’ve finally done it! You’re at the tail end of the college admissions process. Before I begin my last installment of the How to Beat the College Admissions Process series, I have some things I want to say. Yesterday was Ivy Day. Ivy Day…
That’s it for this week. Just go outside. It probably won’t solve all of your problems, but it’s better than wallowing around inside, so go outside. Stay sharp 😉
Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a great week. I don’t have much to talk about this week, so I’m just going to give you all a little pep talk. You are unstoppable. I know sometimes it may feel like life is throwing everything at you, but I promise that you will make…
About 2 weeks ago, I lost a very big piece of me: my earring. Before you start laughing, please hear me out. Since I was about 5 years old, I’ve worn these little gold hoops. My mother bought them in Nigeria in the 90s, brought them to the US when she immigrated, then gifted them…
