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…

i am. unaware
yanno when you give someone advice & they just go and do the complete opposite. like… why would you ask in the first place if you’re just going to go and do something stupid anyway? BUT WAIT! theres mOrE!more to the story that is. most of the time we are basing our advice on one side of a story. &…

i am. doing me
if you have been reading my blog for a while, you most likely know that i have struggled a lot with my weight. i went from working out several times a day and counting every calorie to saying frick it and eating dessert for every meal to feeling content in my own skin. it was a long process to get…

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.…

i am. not broken
we are made up of our experiences. our mistakes. our heartbreaks. our baggage. how does that make you feel? helpless? broken? how about proud? in yoga, the teacher told us that when some people break something valuable, such as a pot that has been passed on for generations, they glue the pieces together with gold, and it makes the item…

i am. not expecting it
it’s cuffing season, & i know a lot of people out there are looking for a boo to snuggle up with to watch christmas movies & drink hot chocolate. well, for those people in need, i may have some bad news; it’s typically easier to find a bf/gf that sticks if you’re not looking. sure, i’ve been in and out…

i am. inspired
i’m pretty sure that sasha obama’s decision to attend umich is no longer news. (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. sharing my experience
i met a girl the other day who said she would really appreciate some advice for incoming college freshmen. because there are so many things to be anxious about, i asked y’all. I know that i am one person, but I have found that many others have had similar issues. here they are, the things you are most anxious about…
