In lieu of having the time to write an actual blog post, I'm just going to go ahead and put up an essay I wrote about Lahore (naturally) for a class. Edited slightly to turn it from a photo essay that it originally was to a legit essay. Also, disclaimer, any disjointedness in the essay … Continue reading The Walled City of Lahore
This was published for the Northeastern University Political Review, a political magazine I write for. I'm going to put up the entire article here but I deeply suggest you go check out the website - amazing articles by amazing writers (I made the front page as a Freshman, I think this bodes well for the … Continue reading Janelle Monáe: Revolution through Music

Because of that, I have a total of 91 followers on my blog, 51 likes on that post, and as of right now, 383 hits on my blog today.

But time flies and today is still a pretty momentous (hah) occasion, so in honor of that I'm going to put up a piece … Continue reading Happy birthday?

For the first time, I don't really have many words, but I'll try to be as eloquent as possible regardless because I think this does garner a little speech. I went to school today … Continue reading UPDATE OF THE BEST KIND

Pain, rage, hopelessness, … Continue reading Short note: Injustice Injustice Injustice

I have more stuff to blog about!" And then I get distracted by Runescape or Mass Effect 2. But not … Continue reading Semiotics and life

We will never get back borderline insulting banter and The Weakest Link outrages with Ms Glenda in Sociology We will never get back the times we cooed and gushed over Ms Anna and her cuteness at something she … Continue reading Things we will never get back

This adorably poofed up bird has been sitting at my balcony with me for easily the last thirty minutes, presumably basking in the cool morning breeze like I am.
