Life Through My Eyes
“What if the cure for cancer is trapped inside the mind of someone who can’t afford an education?” I came across this quote late one night last week when someone shared it on Facebook. It was in the middle of the night, but it got me thinking right away. It hasn’t left my mind since. …
Oklahoma. Enough said. Or, not much else to say, I should say. Watching the news yesterday as the tornado wreaked havoc and leveled a town to debris, I couldn’t even process in my head what was going on there. I thought back to end of October, when Sandy — a minimal storm [not even categorized …
There are just some things that I think should be universal because they are a right, not a privilege. Two of these things are healthcare and education. The poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich deserve the same, so why is it that money (or lack their of) dictates instead? I don’t …
It would be my luck that the ONE day I would need to get in contact with someone at ETS, this would be the problem: Ugh. I had my GRE‘s scheduled for earlier this afternoon, and because of a mis-understanding (that’s what I am choosing to call it to be nice)… I was unable to …
I haven’t posted anything since I got back from Canada about two weeks ago, but this article I was just reading was too neat not to share: It’s about an 84 year old man who is a freshman in college pursuing a degree in psychology and then hopes to to eventually get his masters in …
I am a college graduate and it feels absolutely AMAZING, yet odd! My graduation ceremony was earlier this afternoon.

Just days before my college graduation, as I was just now looking through old stuff, I came across my high school graduation cap and gown from four years ago for the first time since I graduated. My tassel was still in tact on the cap. Gotta admit, it was a pretty weird feeling coming across it …
I’m DONE! 🙂 Can you sense my excitement? I just submitted my last paper and I’m officially done everything! All that is left now is the commencement ceremony in a little over a week! Actually, while I’m glad to be stress-free after handing in my last paper and finishing exams… I’m not yet sure how …
As I was leaving from the last day of class of “Current, Moral, and Social Issues” earlier today, (which is a class I was quite interested in taking but turned out to be quite disappointing), the professor said something profound. He ended the class talking about how important the issues we discussed in this class …
This is a continuation of this. A combination of loud neighbors, sirens going off all night outside, and just being in a new place equaled a sleepless night on Monday. As much as I love the city life, I definitely don’t see myself living in one. On the agenda for the second day: the Department of …
