Recently, I was at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and took the opportunity to walk to Meadow Lake for the first time since I am such a huge advocate for urban nature. What I saw was amazing. I was blown away by the beauty of the lake and was able to admire the backdrop of the Unisphere […]

Scary Good Deals!
In the eyes of nearly every college student, finding something to eat is tantamount to passing classes. In the beginning, everyone aspires to combat freshman fifteen by hitting the gym everyday (free at Queens College for students and faculty!) and eating healthily.

For many of you unfortunate souls, midterms will continue this coming week. Or, for some, midterms are just beginning and for those of you, I have the utmost sympathy. […]

I came across this poem some months ago while following The Paris Review’s Instagram account. They had a photo of the physical page that they published it on, and it’s stuck with me ever since, this poem. Though I’d since uninstalled Instagram from my phone – because at some point, if you’re like me and looking for distractions from […]
Projeto Morrinho at Queens College

Me in the Finance World: An Observation after Seeing it Live for Myself
In one of my classes for my minor of BALA (Business and Liberal Arts), we are required to conduct an interview with a person in a position that we aspire to hold. The project entails much more than simply interviewing and it is a major to-do. I was stressed, not about the five page reflective […]
