The worst part of train travel is hardly ever the train itself, but the train station. In New York City, for example, I frequent Grand Central. I love Grand Central! I show up about 10 minutes before the train leaves and the screen in the main hall tells me where to go. Some people are…

Should this be an apology letter? I do feel guilty for ignoring my blog all summer long, but when it’s hot in New York, the restaurants spill out into the streets along with the people. I try to be out of the house all day going from work to happy hour, to a movie, to…

In honor of those who graduated this month, I thought I would take the time to make their graduation about me—who graduated a year ago. My only regret is not savoring my last summer vacation. Since I started my big-girl job before school ended, I didn’t know the summer before senior year would be my…

New York City is great because you can share a sidewalk with Timothée Chalamet or Dua Lipa. Does this impact my life in any way? No, as these people are not famous to me. Of course they are celebrities, but the best part about seeing Robert Pattinson at a bar is telling people you’ve seen…

This performance was conceived and nursed by the minds of myself and my roommate/best friend/everything. Though I wish she could have participated in the Saw Trap with me, I wouldn’t wish that upon people I love—maybe for my enemies though. The endurance test consisted of sitting through 10 movies from the Saw franchise which adds…

In this new year, my resolution is to be more active in using my planner. Usually, not weeks after I purchase the planner and attempt to plan out my year, I stop updating it and use my “memory” to keep track of my plans. Memory in quotes because how often am I remembering all of…

Why is it that watching someone else’s phone, or TV on an airplane is far more entertaining than my own screen? Why do I zone out from conversations that I am in to listen in on people nearby? Overhearing a conversation that I have no stake in and no context for is wildly captivating and…

Like an influencer, I disappeared for the summer. Spending some time abroad made me grateful for my ability to pack a suitcase. I’m not sure where this talent originated from, since I spent the first 6 or 7 years of my life having my mommy pack it for me, but her fear of paying for…

As someone who has visited every subway station in Manhattan, I feel qualified to give a holistic picture to those who are less acquainted. In the summer of 2022, I made it my mission to determine the depth of the Manhattan subway lines to answer the question “how deep am I underground right now?” In…

My roommate told me that one of her intrusive thoughts is that she thinks she could join and escape a cult. After ingesting four cult-mini-series in one week I agree (despite survivors consistently saying that getting trapped in some nice religious sect/sex cult/doomsday prepper collective could happen to anyone). Still, I’ve seen enough of these…
