For Times Gone By

This happens every year. Come the week before January and I begin to feel the stir of the new year and the possibility of redemption. I buy new planner and pens and cleaning supplies, promising myself that this year will be different. This year, I’ll become a changed person. But of course, change doesn’t happen as instantaneously […]

Unlucky 7

It’s 7 weeks into the semester and here we all are, finally coming down from the high of a new semester. Sure, some of the novelty is still floating around (mainly hidden in the bright eyes of freshmen). The weather even seems to be reflecting our moods as the first Hell Week is drawing to […]

All Is Fair In Wine and Cheese

Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear; beer before liquor, you’ve never been sicker (or so the saying goes, although there are some nights that prove otherwise). But there comes a point in every girl’s life where they decide they don’t want to live by those rules and choose wine. This time most probably comes […]

Love Phy(sucks)

As I stare at my statics homework, trying to muster up information that had been so permanently my mind only 3 weeks ago, the only thing that popped up was your face. I imagine little versions of me running around the control room of my head, very much like that one episode of SpongeBob (you […]

If You’re Going To Shoot For The Moon, Make Sure You Have A Working Parachute

Ever since my freshman year, heck, even middle school, I have been a ‘planner’. I plan out my days meticulously, down to the minute, to the point that if a person were to follow the schedule, they would either be insane or extremely productive and insane…and the thing is that I was neither. Well, the […]

The Mathematical Pursuit Of Happiness

As a person of science, sometimes it feels as if my life revolves around formulas. Sure, we all know that at the core of those formulas, there’s nothing but a fundamental principle that can easily be figured out, but it just seems easier the basic structure of the ‘formula’ instead. Yeah, the momentum principle leads […]

In Which I Blab About The State Of My Inexistent Writing

Of course, as soon as the chaos of packing and beginning to move out again comes around, my mind starts to drift off from the looming school year coming to other, completely unrelated things. Right now, it’s fictional writing. I dabbled (if you could even call it that) in middle school and high school, which […]

Udon Know How Much You Mean To Me

A notification came up on my phone from my cousin commenting on my Facebook album of pictures from my trip to South Korea. “하루종일 면요리..?” = “all day long noodle cooking?” = “geez, are noodles all you eat? get your diet together.” Okay, maybe not that harsh. But now that I have had time to […]

Taking The First Step

Today marks a very important and memorable milestone in my life: the day I first stepped foot into the city of Atlanta. Important because I was headed to get my first glimpse of the college I would stay at (hopefully) for the next 4 (5? 6? 7??) years. Memorable because, for a small-town girl who […]

South Korea Adventures: Preview

I’m SO sorry I haven’t posted anything here in a while. My extended vacation in Korea is proving to be more exhausting than I had originally thought it would be, which of course isn’t always necessarily a bad thing. In addition, some of the places that I have ventured to have been WiFi-scarce and while […]
