If you are feeling stressed I’ve found the no fail technique to relive stress-look up at the stars one night, think about how big the universe is and say to yourself, how much does it really matter if I get that A or if I totally flunk??? I am but a grain of sand-self esteem hurting […]

Rant About Confidence, Grades, and Vacation.
I recently got into a fight with my significant other about confidence. He gets really riled up whenever I finish taking tests in tears and self-pity, only to find I received high marks. This always happens. I could be taking a simple test for dummies, and still come out obnoxiously complaining about it. He yelled at me […]
“A cup of Tea”
The taste of tea, never tasted as good as when you drink it with your feet numbed. I went to experience a Traditional Tea Ceremony, along with arranging my own flower arrangement yesterday! The over all experience is pleasant. The only thing that I disliked was the way you had to sit, on your legs. […]
The New American Dream
My parents, and I would bargain the parents of most of my fellow Chinese, have made it through difficult challenges when they first immigrated here from China. My father came here a poor man. He settled and he immediately looked for work which he contributed all of his earnings to his college education. He told […]
I Made It
I made it through my first few months in New York City. I made it through my first semester of graduate school. I made it. It wasn’t easy though. This has truly been an emotional journey. My mood has gone up and down since I got here. Sometimes, I have been so excited and overjoyed […]
Procastination Stagnation and the State of the _____-ation
This boat that waits until the last minute to set sail is full of us – I know it – can see the crowds before I even arrive at the port. With the port as the final docking space – the last day of school, with the boat itself being these papers / tests / […]
Okcupid = The best kept lesbian secret
What was once viewed as taboo simply isn’t so anymore as we see more and more people flocking to online dating. Especially lesbians or any LGBT. However, if you could get one to admit to it, …well that’s another story. Actually I feel like I’m breaking a code just by writing about it. As […]
Colors of December
Plants Picked on December 1st, Central Park (Click to enlarge) New England has the most beautiful fall colors in the world. Autumnal changes in leaf color are brought on by the decay of the dominant pigment chlorophyll, which allows other hidden colors in the leaf to come out. The different pigments have interesting medicinal […]
For the Record
An old school punk band’s album title was The Record. Epic. As a self theorist, world critic, and overall cynic I’m not sure I’m phased by the fact that I receive no comments on my posts lately. Life, as my writing, is unpredictable and spontaneous. I live by spontaneity. It becomes a huge problem when […]
Jewish Music
Okay, this will be a short post. I’m just curious what people who have never been exposed to jewish music before will think about it. I’m going to put two videos below, one by the Yeshiva Boys Choir, in Hebrew but has a really modern beat, and the other is a song by Abie Rottenberg […]
