Days I Want to Remember: Rachel’s Birthday Party.

So today (I really mean yesterday), I woke up at 6 am, worked my butt off until 2 pm, went driving, and then went to Rachel’s party. Basically all day, I was working on either homework or labwork, so I really had NO TIME on my hands. The party was fabulous, though. We went to get Mongolian Hot Pot, which I had never had before … Continue reading Days I Want to Remember: Rachel’s Birthday Party.

My Tenth Driving Lesson: Oh No.

I went to the driving course that I would actually be taking my test at yesterday. It was CRAWLING with inexperienced drivers, trying to cram in some experience before the test. My dad was, as usual, paranoid of getting in an accident. Except this time, it was because of the other drivers, not me. Which is a first. I parallel parked in their designated area, and it … Continue reading My Tenth Driving Lesson: Oh No.

In an alternate universe, I want to be a marketing analyst.

Yah, I said it. I don’t want to be a rock star or an actress or the president of the United States. I want to be an analyst that specializes in media and marketing. Let me explain: I really like figuring out patterns and why things work. It’s one of the reasons I like science so much, and it’s also why I tend to overthink … Continue reading In an alternate universe, I want to be a marketing analyst.

My Ninth Driving Lesson: Short, Sweet, Sleep-Deprived.

So I had semi-formal yesterday, and if you don’t know what that is, it’s basically a school dance filled with way too much food and way too much dancing over the course of four hours. And it was fun. But the AFTERMATH is killer. I probably slept like a rock for eight hours, leading me to sleep through various attempts to wake me up for … Continue reading My Ninth Driving Lesson: Short, Sweet, Sleep-Deprived.

Gender and Sexuality: It’s a Spectrum

I’m not going to sit here and lay out all the facets and aspects of gender, sexuality, pronouns, romantic attraction, and sexual attraction. Google exists for a reason. I am, however, going to say that I believe in it. I think that if you want to label yourself, go ahead. If you don’t, then don’t. If you know exactly what you want and what you … Continue reading Gender and Sexuality: It’s a Spectrum

Semi-Formal: The Happy/Unhappy Medium

I’d like to take a moment to appreciate the fact that I got home from semi-formal, took off my heels, pulled off my stockings, and hopped onto my computer to write down exactly what I feel as soon as possible. To give context to this situation, I must preface by saying I have NO “swag”.  I don’t really understand twerking, and I don’t know most … Continue reading Semi-Formal: The Happy/Unhappy Medium

Those That Laugh in the Face of Authority… Have Trouble Dealing with Serious Situations.

You know what? I’ll admit it. I laugh when someone yells at me. I wish I were kidding. If you praise me, I’ll turn as red as a tomato and look down and feel super awkward because how else am I supposed to react to a positive situation like this? But if you yell at me or are saying a various speech or presentation in … Continue reading Those That Laugh in the Face of Authority… Have Trouble Dealing with Serious Situations.

From Me to Myself: Advice I Should Really Remember

I’m about 110% sure that title wasn’t grammatically correct, but I stopped being a grammar nazi around the time I realized I had been spelling “grammar” with an ‘e’ for approximately 10 years. By the very definition of human nature, we are prone to error. Ideally, the mistakes we make in our life and the experiences we have cause us to change our habits, look … Continue reading From Me to Myself: Advice I Should Really Remember

My Eighth Driving Lesson: Freedom is Exhausting

I never thought that I would say, it, but driving is r really tiring in a I-really-want-to-sit-in-bed-and-not-think kind of way. It’s not exactly difficult, and you can listen to music or whatever while you drive, but just having to pay attention to all of these details and always stay focused is particularly difficult when its 7:30 in the morning and all you want to do is … Continue reading My Eighth Driving Lesson: Freedom is Exhausting
