As of May 4th, 2018, I am the proud owner of a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Affairs. If you've been following this blog since its very inception in 2010, then this might be tripping you up as much as it tripped me up. I still have vivid memories of giving college … Continue reading Forgiveness, can you imagine?
I have always been hyper-aware of my ambition, to the point that I am constantly appraising myself vis a vis others' accomplishments. I wish I could say with confidence that it is benign appreciation, and a desire to better myself. I've recently started accepting it for what COULD be: envy, a truly exhausting emotion to … Continue reading Short Note: Isolation Abroad
There's been so much happening that it's easier to make a big post filled with a lot of little things than one large disjointed post. I've been in Dubai for the past couple weeks and am slated to be back in Boston around 2:30pm EST on the 2nd of January. I legitimately cannot believe it's … Continue reading Assorted thoughts over winter break
I'm a little embarrassed posting this, I won't lie, more so because a lot of the people I'm indirectly referencing in this post are on my Facebook friends list. But I need a place to gush and I think my friends are sick and tired of me at this point, SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO: Northeastern, … Continue reading Short note: Introductions and Goodbyes
Right now, it's the 22nd of September. I moved to Boston on the 20th of August, a little more than a month ago; in four days, it'll have been a month since I moved into Northeastern. So much has happened since I moved to this city: I met up with old friends, finally met a … Continue reading Short note: Reflection
Home is where I hang my hat - and maybe it's the fact that my hats have found perches in various corners of my new bedroom, but I have never felt like an alien in 119 Light Hall. I am greeted by familiar things; my roommate's lacrosse stick; our microfridge deluged by various teas and … Continue reading Update
This is going to be a little awkward but I think I'll just dive right into it. I got rejected from Boston University. …if you know anything about me, it’s that BU was my dream school. I've been gushing about it for the last three years - everything I did in high school was in … Continue reading Northeastern Husky, Class of ’17!
The past week has been filled with ups. So much so that in the back of my mind I was afraid that any semblance of bad energy would make me crash. Apparently not! Thursday morning, I found out I got into Emerson College - making it 2/9! - and this morning I found out I got … Continue reading 2/9 & 3/9
I've been posting a lot of personal posts lately, I know. Nothing too hard hitting, nothing too jarring, but I guess that's the nature of the phase of life I'm in. I'm restless, I can see the end just around the corner, and I want time to pass even faster than it is already. Of … Continue reading 1/9
Sociology, my love- I hope I have not offended you by turning my attention from you for but a few minutes. You need not worry - I'll always come back to you - but I sincerely felt that this could not wait. I need you to know that I love you. Deeply. Unerringly. Irreparably. That … Continue reading Love Letter to Sociology
