Every morning at 7:40am, I crack my eyes open to the early darkness of my single room, plunge down from my lofted bed, and unsteadily march towards campus. I don’t have a class. I’m not really a morning person. But I arrive at school at 8am and make my way down to the Barnard athletics […]
This weekend, I will be all over the place. First, I am going to the Active Minds conference to present my preliminary research on Asian American women in college and their attitudes towards mental health and counseling. The conference is going to be in DC, so I’ll be getting up very early and coming back […]
As part of my Well Women duties for next year, I am duty-bound to read a book from our library – you can imagine how giddy I was to receive this assignment. It’s like summer reading, but revamped to suit my feminist and inspirational needs. In keeping with these themes, the first of two books […]
Alright, I know that I said that regular posting would resume Friday, but I didn’t account for one major thing: sleep. Upon arriving home, I attempted to stay awake, but instead collapsed into an earth-shattering slumber, not to be awoken unless food was available. So, this post that was supposed to be put up Friday […]
This weekend, I attended a long set of prospective student functions and hosted two “prospies” last night (hence the lack of musical interlude this Sunday). I must admit, a fair bit of nostalgia and thought did occur. So, I offer you my criticism. P.S.Sorry general readers, this post is pretty specific to the Barnard/Columbia experience […]
This is just a short post that’s going to roll in under the radar – I’ve been trying to furiously catch up on word count today, so I’ve written 3000+ words and have come up to 25,150. I need to be at 30,006 by tomorrow at midnight, so between then and now I have to […]

This was the first blizzard of the year and Barnard didn’t close until the afternoon. When everything else was closed early in the morning. Ugh! But once they did close, I was thankful because I got to get all my work done and now I am no longer panicking as I am wont to do.It […]
This peacock’s name is Phil. As of today, I have returned to the fold of college students. With classes and books and other nonsensical ideas such as program filing for next semester (although the website is mysteriously lacking in functional ways to do this). Overall, the last two weeks have gone by with a blur […]
…people who really believe and love themselves.I think that I’ve found a lot of amazing people and I wouldn’t give them up for the world. And I get to see them, and I get to talk to them, and I get to know them, and it is awesome. But there are also the people I […]
