It's very important to take note of the music I'm listening to at any given change in my mood. In this particularly tearful - one might even say romantic - mood, I've got On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons on repeat. If you follow me on twitter - and I certainly hope for … Continue reading Graduation

What’s in a name?
Try everything. A lot of people downplay the importance of names, but then why do you have people who change their names later on in life? Because a name is just that important – it is your identity beyond your personality, your talents, your ambitions and goals and accomplishments. No matter what you do, your name … Continue reading What’s in a name?
Bucket lists
At every point in my life thus far, there's been one city - or country, for that matter - that I've wanted with almost the same amount of desperation as I currently want Boston. I remember when I was about 6, or 7, attempting to learn Spanish because "I really really wanna live in Mexico, dadda!" … Continue reading Bucket lists
The alternative track
I wonder sometimes how different my life would be if I'd decided to pursue fashion instead of International Relations/Sociology in college. Granted, I'm not in college (yet - two more applications to go! I'll talk about that in another post!) but all my decisions are based around IR. It's a strange combination, yeah - politics … Continue reading The alternative track

Primarily, I assume, so that I can continue this habit over the course of the four years that I do spend in Boston and, hopefully, throughout … Continue reading Off to the races

I can talk at length about my "idea that can change the … Continue reading TEDxYouthDay – My dream
Short Note – Dreaming about Boston
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with need for Boston. I can’t sleep, even though I’m fatigued, I can’t rest though I need rest. I’m just reinforced with this desire, this all-encompassing motivation to do something, anything that will make me feel as if I’ve secured that part of my future.The fact that I’ve seen Boston for myself - … Continue reading Short Note – Dreaming about Boston
Don’t internalize negativity!
I've been trying to figure out how to write this blog post for about...a week now, I suppose. Now that I have a lovely eight days till my next and final exam, I think I should sit down and start typing and hope for the best. My self-esteem's been taking a kick lately. I internalize … Continue reading Don’t internalize negativity!
