Well, I’ve pulled a muscle in my back and have been confined to my bed. So there is no better time to start writing again right? Truthfully, it is the only way that I’ve stopped in the last couple of months. It has been a complete whirlwind. It definitely has not been an easy few … Continue reading »

I’m going to tell you why my Dad is awesome.
So as we all know, my dad is pretty awesome. Today though, my dad reminded me of just how awesome he really is. I read my dad’s post about his relationship with his Elijah, a young kid who he mentors who has now become a great little addition to the family. To sum it up- Elijah … Continue reading »
To all you cool cats and Tuesday lovers

24
Welp, I’m 24. As a wise friend said- it can’t be that bad of a year when you have an TV show named after it. But Taylor Swift also has stopped writing songs about my age soooo yeahhhh. Truthfully though- I had an amazing birthday. Between my surprise birthday party at work, to an evening … Continue reading »
When your eyeballs aren’t your own
Do you ever have those moments where you go a little out of body? Like you’re narrating your own life? Like your eyes turn into strangers and you’re seeing something for the first time? It hasn’t happened to me in a while. I’ve been bogged down, busy, going from thing to thing and have had … Continue reading »
Into the North Woods
This morning I woke up early. Harlem was already alive outside so I decided to get out there. So I went for a walk. Next thing I knew, I was 25 blocks south and in Central Park. I found myself in the North Woods, an area I’d never been before. With awesome harmonies in my … Continue reading »
I’m Back.
Hey friends. I missed you. Can I get minorly deep for a second? When we last saw each other, I wasn’t in the best spot. I was overwhelmed, unhappy, and just not feeling like myself. And then I disconnected- I went to Spain, I learned to like myself again, and life got a lot better. … Continue reading »
Still Disconnecting…
So I’ve made it back from Europe. Well, almost, I’m currently in the Dublin airport with a FAR too long layover. It was an amazing amazing trip and one that I very much needed. And truthfully, it felt wonderful to disconnect. So wonderful in fact that I’d like to keep it going a bit longer, … Continue reading »
672 Down
Today marks my 1-year anniversary at Columbia. Tomorrow is my last day at Columbia. Very bittersweet and surreal indeed! What a year it has been! Within my year and by tomorrow afternoon, I will have completed 672 events. Insanity. Is this all happening? It still hasn’t hit me. I just get nauseous occasionally. I’ve got … Continue reading »
On To The Next Adventure…
New York is not about staying stagnant. New York is about chasing dreams. This sounds incredibly cliche and lame. But since moving to New York, it has been my dream to work here: Lincoln Center. The mecca for performance. A celebration of the arts in the middle of the city. Every time I walked onto … Continue reading »
A Special Visitor and My Favorite Part of the Weekend
This weekend was a busy one, but thank goodness life cleared off my schedule for a short time on Saturday to meet up with this wonderful lady. I love visitors- I feel lucky that I live in a place that people want to visit, but I can’t tell you how amazingly wonderful it was to … Continue reading »
Lessons on Being Assaulted
Apologies for the jarring title but last night I got minorly assaulted. Minorly being the key word. But I learned some things from my first-hand experience that seem to be pretty straight forward tips for the cruddy situation. I was transferring trains around 9PM in Times Square. When going though the tunnel I noticed the … Continue reading »
SO HOT… a poem.
As I was sweating this morning in the shower, I realized that I was having a similar frustration with New York as I did this winter, except opposite with the temperature scale. Due to the fact that it is too hot to type full thoughts without sweating all over the keyboard, I’ve decided to write … Continue reading »
Beach Therapy
Sitting in the airport, waiting for my flight back to New York, I can’t help but think how amazingly successful this beach trip was. I mean- it was AMAZINGLY successful. So successful in fact that even the airport has been ideal, giving me a $400 flight voucher to take a later flight and free wifi … Continue reading »
Success is…
A braid, a yummy dinner, the perfect sweater, completing The Great Gatsby (way better when homework isn’t due), and this sunset.
This Is Exactly What I Needed
Have a great week everyone. I think I’ll have a great week too.
A Centsational New York
Hello all, Today I wanted to share a blog with you. Recently, Kate from Centsational Girl took a trip to New York and documented her wonderment with the city. Bryant Park (or as I call it, the quickest way to get to H&M from 42nd St.), Grand Central (my connection to the East Side), and … Continue reading »
The Habits of City Walk-Driving
As I previously mentioned, one of the things I miss the most about my past life is my car. I miss it SO much. Slowly but surely though I have gotten used to living without it. I’ve begun to realize that I now walk like I used to drive. And it isn’t just me, it … Continue reading »
I’ve Shucked the Oyster. Now What?
Last night, while bored in my business class (I know, I’m sorry, I’m a terrible student), I went back and read a TON of my old posts from my old blog, Holding the Wind. Like going back and reading a diary, it was hilarious and special to walk down memory lane. I loved how I … Continue reading »
Bloggers are Changing the World.
Hi All, I’m not trying to stand on a high horse here. I have terrible balance. But, I wanted to let you all know about a wonderful article that I came upon far too late: Single Dad Laughing‘s “I’m Christian, Unless You’re Gay” And his reader response post that was just released, “A Teen’s Brave … Continue reading »
