I ran into one of my work friends on the way home today. She told me that she has been feeling overwhelmed with work and everything else going on in her life. She said that she doesn’t know if work is serving her & feels like she is missing out on friends and other activities. I feel that. This past…

BACK ON CAMPUS
& to be completely honest, I’d rather be anywhere else. I wander around the busy streets of Ann Arbor and notice kids rushing to class or basking in the sun in the diag or standing in line for boba or limping home from yoga. These scenes are so familiar that they take me back to the last time I lived…

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. self centered
one of my biggest flaws that has really been bothering me lately is how selfish i am. but no, not in the way PnB Rock talks about it. i have a tendency to make every conversation about myself. like, oh, you had something cool happen to you? ya, well me too. your life sucks? let me tell you about mine.…

(but if you didn’t know, now you do.) so, i figured now would be an appropriate time to write about my love for her mom. i’ve been a long time admirer of michelle & even happen to have the same username as her book tour (this…

i am. “old”
i thought i was old when i finally moved from plain old abercrombie to abercrombie & fitch, but now i really feel old. i just moved into my first apartment and, boy, is it a shock. i’ve reached the age where i not only have to go to the grocery store, but i have to actually PAY for my groceries.…

i am. still friends
someone reached out to me over dm asking for some relationship advice. she recently broke up with her boyfriend and felt as if she lost a best friend along with it. i think that anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship can relate to this. i know i sure can. for some reason, i’ve been lucky enough to…

i am. accepted
with a brother who is getting ready to apply to college, and daily dms asking me how to get in to michigan, i thought it would be an appropriate time to share the little that i know. while no one quite knows exactly what admissions counselors are looking for, here is a little recipe to guide you: so catch me…
