Today, I’m giving a brief list, in no particular order, of expectations I have of the U.S. government. So brief, in fact, that I will constrain myself to one pithy sentence each – which will be a strain on my typically long-winded writing style. Here it goes. 1. Keep AT&T from absorbing T-Mobile because its […]
I want to explore a little bit more about South Asian identity and where it comes from for young South Asian Americans. I grew in a multi-racial (but still primarily white) neighborhood with few Indians and no Bangladeshis my age, so I may only speak for myself in this post, but where I found a […]
I have been fuzzy-brained for the last week because of several severe allergic reactions I’ve had since moving back to Washington from NYC. And whenever I get that fuzzy feeling, whether it’s from illness or allergies or whatever else, I get really unenthused about writing. Yet, as a daily blogger and an all-around creative person, […]
I am a list addict. That’s right, I’ve admitted it (yet again). And for the upcoming summer I have made a list with subsections of items that I want to begin or complete during that time. But this time I’ve done three things that are a tad bit different with the list:1. I have made […]
I’ve returned to Barnard on a pretty dreary day, so I feel compelled to open up the week with a pretty dreary post. Yet, as with all dreariness, it’s designed to make you think rather bring you further down in the doldrums. So, enjoy. I consider myself a conscientious eater. I have made peace with […]
Something that I have to remind myself of every day I take off: the meaning of relaxation is to not to think about its end. This vacation has been about that principle in a lot of ways – staying in the present and enjoying the minutes, forgetting (or at least being ok with the idea […]
(click to see a larger version) Today is my 19th birthday. It was a fairly low key affair spent with gourmet pizza, vegan desserts (Pala Pizza and Babycakes are both delicious!), and my dear roommate Liberty. For the workaholic in me, there was also a gift: I mandated that I could do no work today […]
I have a love/hate relationship with lists. At the beginning of every month, I get out my well-worn planner and write two lists down in red pen: Accomplishments and Goals. The notes can range from personal things (like, see more of the city) to academic things (make sure to get homework done in advance) to […]
Here are the reviews for this week! Three in-theaters movies for me and a joint review of The Saint from Liberty and I. She has opted for a creative list review style, which is actually quite fetching because it brings new life to the older titles that we are watching. As always, if you don’t […]
In the last week or so, I have decided.Yes, decisions were made. Big and small, long-term and short-term… but all in the name of rejuvenating my motivation. And, thankfully, it seems to be coming back (yippee!). So let’s see what some of them are… 1. Junk food detox – currently, I am on day 3 […]
