Yesterday was one of those days You know, the kind where you’re feeling antsy because you have a lot to do, and yet you can’t seem to get anything done? On those days, I have a tendency to find other ways to feel “productive” since I can’t seem to concentrate on the important things. I […]
I feel like I’ve been stressed for days. Maybe it’s because I haven’t exercised for the last four or five days (I’m away in Switzerland/Germany/Austria, meeting up with my sister and her husband–just left their company yesterday). I brought my running shoes, intending to hit the hotel gym in Munich, but that would have been […]
Oh the life of a freelance writer Yesterday I finished critiquing a romance novel. Yes, for pay. And yes, I died a little inside by the time I got to the end. I have never read something with so many adverbs and adjectives in my life. But you know what, kudos to the author for […]
So you’re done with your dissertation…what now? Oh the dreaded “Now What” question. I never thought I’d be asking this question so far into my twenties.

Do I like to travel? For anyone who knows me, this may seem like a “duh” question. I have spent the last month and a half in four different countries and I’m not heading home for another week. But somebody asked me again the other day: Do you like to travel? And I had to […]
This weekend, I was chatting to a girlfriend about “the guy situation” in each of our lives, and I found out something very peculiar: what I thought was a unique problem I had was in fact shared. Here’s the problem: when faced with a situation where I am uncomfortable and unsure of how to proceed, […]
You’ve heard about Tinder from “people”. You can’t seem to remember who told you about it, just that someone did. Maybe it’s on everyone’s subconscious minds and the information gets shared telepathically.
This semester I joined my university’s climbing gym I’ve climbed off and on over the years, but never as more than a hobby. As a kid, I couldn’t get enough of it at summer camp and was often the only one not bored of going up and down the climbing wall until it was time […]
