My thoughts on college apps

So…now that time is getting short and you guys are probably all stressing about finishing your apps, I’ve been asked to write about how the admissions process was for me.
I mentioned this before, but I love the whole concept of college admissions so I’m probably not the most normal source. But, in case you’re wondering, [...]

the weather and college admissions

Can we just take a moment to reflect on the absolute insanity that has been the weather in America these past few days? It’s snowed in Austin. Meanwhile, I wore short sleeves today. With no jacket. Yesterday it was 70 degrees! What’s up with that?
Everyone’s busy talking about how the weather makes them so happy. [...]

shopping spree.

Okay, the title of this post is a misnomer. I wouldn’t really call this a spree, but it’s the most shopping I’ve done since getting to school. I just picked up my Tufts hoodie from the bookstore. After buying another shirt, and two sweatshirts, I’ve finally feel as if I have enough Tufts merchandise to [...]

Moulin Rouge!

If you’ve never seen Moulin Rouge before, stop whatever you’re doing, go rent it and watch it RIGHT now. On the biggest television you can find. Turn off the lights, don’t let anyone distract you. Immerse yourself in the spectacle that is this movie. It’s BEAUTIFUL.
Thank God I’ve seen it before, because watching it on [...]

Guess what guys? I finished my essay! Sort of. I need to do a lot more editing. But I got it written down at least. Now I’ve gotta study Arabic, but first I think a television break is in order.

Procrastination time.

This blog is turning into an awesome procrastinating tool. I have an 8 page paper to write on energy use this weekend for my Peace and Justice Studies class, but I can’t force myself to keep working on it.  The main problem is that it’s only early Saturday afternoon and the weather is soo nice [...]

on happiness

Okay, so normally when I update this blog I try to make my writing somewhat decent. But if you happen to be curious about my natural writing style, as in the way I write when I’m keeping in touch with friends back home, then you’ll maybe find the following post entertaining. Or it might just [...]

personal growth and pizza places

While on the bus yesterday I had this awesome moment that I don’t quite  know how to describe. It was like a feeling of serenity? Tranquility? Contentment? I can’t find the perfect word, but basically, while listening to my ipod and watching Medford and Boston pass by outside the window, I was so happy with [...]

Look! An update!

You know how I said I would be blogging more frequently and then disappeared for like 18 days? I have an excuse! I was totally planning on sitting down and blogging a couple weeks ago, but then we lost power for 19 hours. And I would’ve updated sometime during the rest of that weekend, but [...]

After my last post, I got all nostalgic and looked through pictures of last year’s festival. I like this one a lot. Its got the festival (or part of it at least) and the skyline of my favorite city behind it. So I posted it in case any one was curious.
