i am. choosing the easiest answer
ever heard of occam’s razor? it simply states that the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one. & i live my life by this. i’m not an over thinker. at all. so when people ask me for advice, it’s typically pretty straightforward. i was recently dm’ed asking for some dating advice. it was pretty typical; girl matches with guy…

i am. reflecting
this semester, i’ve been thinking a lot about social media. possibly because i’m taking three classes on it – but, nevertheless, i have. i thought about the amount of time i spend posting, who i am online versus who i am in real life & so much more. i was asked to create a role for my social media self…

i am. rethinking
a couple of weeks ago i applied to this really cool sounding internship for a tech startup in Kuala Lumpur. naturally, i got a rejection email after the first interview. & yes, i do believe this is another example of an “everything happens for a reason” situation (honestly, who am i to think i could live in malaysia, take a…

i am. relieving stress
at umich at least, finals season is all about who can be the most stressed. & if you dont think you need to stress about finals, you’re stressed about not being stressed. its a hot mess that is just making us less productive in the long run. so, instead of crashing and burning & not being able to study any…
