Answering questions about life in post-grad
Hi friends! It’s been quite a day (a Tuesday when I write this to you). I had some health things that came up, so I just wanted to say take care of yourselves and check in on loved ones. It sucks that so many I love live far from me and I have to relay … Continue reading death, love, and grief
I’m taking you through a Tuesday in my life during spring semester. This semester has been so hard. My reporting is competing with my Master’s Project. Not to mention my part time job (which is thankfully lightening up its load). Send prayers and good thoughts! January 30, 2024 On Tuesday morning, I ate breakfast and … Continue reading tuesday of spring semester | columbia chronicles
I mentioned at the start of the year that I wanted to read more classic literature as one of my resolutions, and so I figured I would share with you the books I want to read this year! Reading Goals for 2024 Anna Karenina I randomly bought Anna Karenina a few blocks away from Columbia … Continue reading reading goals for 2024
The posts that I missed writing when I graduated college in May 2022 were the end of semester reflection posts. These posts gave me an avenue to look back on the semester, see the gems I had, celebrate the wins I experienced, and mourn the losses I had. So it’s been a pleasant surprise to … Continue reading fall semester of journalism school reflection
We’re back to the fresh start feeling at the New Year. I recapped 2023 in last week’s post. I’m honestly more excited about the second part of 2024 than the first part (I’m dreading needing to finish my Master’s project.) While I have a few resolutions and intentions, this post is more about ins and … Continue reading 2024: In and out
It’s that time of the year, a time to assess the year that has gone by. The lessons we learned, the trips we went on, the moments we enjoyed (or didn’t). 2023 was a strange year for me. I started off the year still job hunting, but my heart wasn’t in it anymore, and now … Continue reading what i’ve learned in 2023 + 2023 Highlights
It’s the most wonderful time of the year—where I share with you the books I’ve delighted this year. My Goodreads goal was 100 books, and I made it to 103. I definitely won’t be attempting this goal again anytime soon . I really want to read longer books next year, but this was a cool … Continue reading my best books of 2023
I know I haven’t been the best at sharing my Columbia life, but I did want to share the last day of fall semester with you. Fall semester was hard, and was super super busy, but I’m glad it’s time to rest and relax (even while working on my Master’s project). Friday December 15, 2023 … Continue reading Last day of fall semester | columbia chronicles
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Spotify Wrapped season! It’s time to discuss all things 2023 music and jams that I loved. Side note: sorry for my absence on the blog lately. School has been taking over my life. Trying to post when I can, but it’s not been easy. Didn't mean to take a month off, … Continue reading best songs of the year: 2023
These days, due to the whole being-in-grad-school thing, I don’t have much time to travel for weekends. (Unfortunately, there isn’t such a thing as being off from your work. A thing I’m grappling with in whether or not I want to be a reporter.) But I booked a weekend off a week in advance to … Continue reading autumn girlie weekend in connecticut
Hello friends! Hope the fall weather hasn’t been too chilly for you! As for me, I’ve been working hard as a reporter in New York City. It’s often been a challenge but it’s also been a great way to learn about a million different subjects and get a taste of what every industry has to … Continue reading a Journalist’s guide to life
As a grad student, life is expensive. But a grad student in New York City is just pure insanity. Saving money is absolutely essential. Living here, things are way more expensive than they need to be. Just this weekend, I bought a small cup of Earl Grey tea for 4 dollars. 4 dollars! I could’ve … Continue reading how to save money as a grad student
