& 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. 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. my own person
i met up with one of my friends the other day for coffee. he recently moved to santa monica after living and going to school in ann arbor his entire life. although he did the typical dorm & apartment thing, he always stayed close to his family, visiting them probably around once a week. to me, this sounded like the…

i am. seeing the other
arguing. some love it, others hate it. for me, i avoid it like the plague. i noticed the other day as my mom was scrolling through facebook, that social media has recently turned into a political battlefield, one that i don’t want to be drafted into. as mom read the tea in the comments section and reworded her reply several…

i am. not keeping up
you ever think about how fast things change? one second barack and joe are throwing up peace signs in the oval office & the next thing you know, trump is getting impeached. its hard to keep up with, yet in some ways, it can put our lives into perspective. the things that we spend hours arguing or stressing about will…

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…
