If I asked you to describe what your body is made of, your response might be that it is made of particles or atoms. But did you know that it is equally accurate to describe yourself as being made of waves? A particle can be any object, big or small. In its simplest description, waves […]

Making Strides (In More Ways Than One)
I feel like I’m in the process of moving forward, but moving forward in different directions. Picture that in the least chaotic way possible, and you’ll see what I mean. I’ve been feeling like I’ve fallen in a rut lately, exhausted and unmotivated to do anything unless I absolutely have to. Depressing, right? It happens […]
Emotional Shopper.
The cat’s out of the bag. It’s official, I’ve become an emotional shopper. Yay? The stupid part is I’m not even buying clothes this season, I’ve been buying clothes for summer and spring! I have little winter clothes in my closet. I think I’ve spent about $50-75 worth of clothes… and you may be thinking, […]

A 78 year old woman just cursed me out for relaying the message that the CB5 liaison stepped out for a meeting. I can’t even.
Writers on Writing
I was looking forward to in moving to NYC because I knew that the city offered a lot to the literary community. It wasn’t until I came here that I actually saw ads for books (on the subway). I’m not used to seeing that kind of thing. In the past week, I’ve had the chance […]
Temperamental Tugs on the Grapevine
What is matter without gravitational pull? Something matters only when there’s an attribution of gravity, of severity. But who allots said importance is the issue; and how it’s conducted to be addressed is the fight. The demonstrations that have flooded NYC, both in and outside the infamous OWS movement, are all I can speak for. […]
The butterfly effect-if only
Just saw the butterfly effect and that was definitely the most moving movie I’ve seen in a long time. The idea that we can go back in time and change things-hell, I’d give twenty years of my life right now to go back in time-but who knows how it would effect other people’s lives??? Book […]
Things I’m super excited for
1- Halloween This is my favorite holiday. I love the whole month of October actually. I still decorate my house as if I’m in elementary school. 2- Fall Weather I am SO over the heat. The fact that I can hear the wind rustling through the leaves as I write this makes me all sorts […]
THIS SEMESTER….
This semester has turned into a real bust. I’m extremely mortified and utterly embarrassed and humiliated by what I did. I’ve been having issues with my family which I guess is not surprising. Trying to do all I had to do with school and maintain family relationships and not act out got to me and […]
My First Hackathon
About a week ago, I attended my first hackathon hosted by the non-profit organization hackNY. What is a hackathon? It is an event where a bunch of programmers come together and build something within a certain amount of time. How long do they last? This one was 24 hours, others can last up to an […]
