salaam! hi! hello! today i’m sitting here writing my LAST college re-cap post – because, well, i’m a college graduate. i still can’t really comprehend that. they say college flies by – and wow, it truly does. i’m now more “knowledgeable.” but sometimes i think about my education and wonder did it actually make me […]
my 7th semester of college is officially over. i have only ONE more semester left until my undergraduate experience is officially done. soon, i’ll be crossing the stage (if circumstances allow) with my b.a. in international relations & global studies and my b.b.a. in supply chain management – and to me, that reality seems so […]
It’s September – and in some ways, life feels exactly the same. I no longer understand the concept of time. In March, the world transformed. The loud roar of cities became quiet as people stayed inside. The crowded corridors of college campuses became isolated as students returned home to finish the semester. The buzz of […]
I say this every time I write one of these reviews, but time moves too fast. Just like that, and here we are. I have completed by third year of college. I only have one year left of this journey, and then, I will join the working world, identify as a real adult, and no […]
This March is unlike any other. I’m sure this March was also unlike any March you have experienced.

October is over?! I can hardly believe it. November is here. I love it. I love the cold weather, sweaters, hot chocolate, scarves, and pumpkin everything. There’s just something about this time of the year that makes me the happiest. But, this is a post about October, so I’ll save my November obsession for another […]
Hello, friends. How have you been? It has been a long time since my blog has been consistent. I remember when I started college, I made a promise to myself that I would not let my blog move to the back burner as I became fully immersed in my college experience. However, put simply, I […]
Just like that, it’s over. I spent 16% of 2019 abroad. Singapore has become more than just the place I visited for two months. It became my temporary home. The place I grew. The place I created some of the best memories of my life. The place I laughed until I cried. The place I […]
I have completed half of my college journey. I am in utter disbelief. Last year, at this time, I was the most miserable version of myself. On the outside, I had a smile that made it appear like everything in my life was fine. I got a summer internship, I was involved on campus, and […]
