Remember When COVID Wasn’t a Thing?

It feels so long ago… — These last 12 months have been an emotional rollercoaster, with a lot more downs than a pessimist can ever imagine. I can’t help but think back to the time when our world wasn’t dealing with the threat of a virus that has direly affected tens of millions of people. …

Your Social Media Feed Is Your Canvas

Paint it with caution. — On its worst day, social media is a breeding ground for diminishing one’s self-esteem through meaningless comparison. On its best day, social media is a communal hub for folks with similar interests to connect through entertaining, inspiring, and informative content.

Until the Tassel Turns

Lost in the syllabus. — 4 years from now, I’m going to be turning my tassel to the left, Looking back at my journey in either pride or regret. Until those 4 years come to reach an end, I’ll forever be wondering whether or not I’m making the right choices or following the trend. A…

Harsh Reality

Care for yourself. The struggles are enough. — Don’t forget to take a step back When it feels like the world is spinning in circles, Struggling to breathe in the whirlwind Provoked by the hell of 2020.
