The second half of my high school career was marked by extreme difficulties due to my deteriorating mental health. I survived this part of my life mainly by writing in order to extricate myself from the loneliness and alienation I was feeling.

Why It’s Hard to NOT Care About the Royal Wedding
I’ll admit, just yesterday I was a little bit annoyed at all the buzz about the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I just kept thinking to myself, what’s the big deal? How is it any different than from any other celebrity couple getting married? Still, I’m not gonna lie, I was still a […]
Gravitational Absence
Two days ago (April 26th) was officially the last day of Spring Break ’11. And.. I know it’s been almost a month since I last posted. I didn’t realize that I would be gone for so long. There have been so many instances where I would tell myself to write, but I just couldn’t. Truth […]

Anxiety
So Spring Break is over and I’m still tired. I guess one could argue that I am too young to be tired but everybody deserves to say that they are tired at one point or another. This year I am finally graduating. It has been a long and arduous journey working and going to school […]
Kino-Pravda & The Black Manifesto
Campus Whits went to a screening at MOMA last week. Canadian cinemaster Guy Maddin introduced a series of shorts made by Dziga Vertov, a 1920s avant-garde filmmaker who crafted collages of Worker and Peasant life after the Russian Revolution. In Kino-Pravda No.22, a throng of Peasants lines up to spectate Vladimir Lenin’s Tomb, allowed into […]
