Answering questions about life in post-grad
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
Happy Wednesday, friends! Hope it has not been raining consecutively for 5 weekends straight where you are. Maybe the sun hasn’t been hiding its face for you. At least, I hope not. While I’ve had a few blogs be more about my life, my favorite blog posts to write are all about my thoughts. This … Continue reading Church, peace, and butterflies
Life has been CRAZY lately. The ups and downs have been wild. I don’t think I expected schoolwork to take up my whole life the way it has. I feel like I’m either in class or doing class work and trying to make plans with friends has been next to impossible. All in all, we’re … Continue reading grad school day in my life
Well folks, sometimes life hands you a bad hand. This blog post was supposed to be a recap of a trip I had planned for months, but NYC transit flooding meant that I stayed home. So instead of sharing with you the wonder of a new place (the trip is now set for next spring, … Continue reading i like their thoughts
Something my reporting professor said in early September made me realize I want to be a writer. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. But the funny thing about that desire is that it’s under the heavier ones. Ones like having a job and having people understand what it means to do the work you … Continue reading an inner voice makes itself heard
Romantic love is capacious. And I mean that not in the mystical sense - it cannot contain anything or everything and it is never without conditions - but rather it is capacious in the daily way that any expression of love might also express trust, doubt, regret, resignation, humor, self-congratulation, or sacrifice. Love can contain … Continue reading the stories we tell about love
One of the posts I’ve been looking forward to writing as a Columbia student is a morning routine. I love morning routines! Even though (if I’m honest) my morning routine hasn’t changed a ton since I was in undergrad at UVA, I am still writing this for memory's sake. Tuesday, September 5, 2023 Every morning … Continue reading a morning routine | Columbia chronicles
To take a little break from the Columbia content, I figured I’d introduce you to the stories and words that have haunted me. I love reading and even though these days, I mainly read on the train from Brooklyn to Manhattan (or vice versa). I wish I could read more for pleasure, but I’ve been … Continue reading writing that haunts me
As life has changed a fair bit lately (read my Life Update post if you don’t know), I also need to update my 2023 rule of life. I am probably not going to add anything because life has gotten super busy but we’ll see. Here are some ideas I’m playing around with. Walks Since my … Continue reading revamping my rule of life 2023
