How Do I Help My Friend?

(This post is going to be far more serious than my other posts. ) A friend of mine is currently dealing with depression. A couple of weeks ago, he made the mistake in driving under the influence and getting arrested. No one got hurt, thankfully. He spent the night in jail and is now awaiting […]

The Hunger Games: College Registration Edition

I’ve been trying to keep myself as stress free as possible this summer because I want to enjoy all the free time I have. I’m making plans to take trips to museums this week, paint my room next week, and squeeze in the beach as often as I can. I got a new bathing suit […]

Back At It

I don’t know if I’m writing more this week just to distract myself from getting too intense with my break-up feelings, but I’ve been breaking all kinds of new grounds this week in my writing. It’s no secret that I get myself into writing and reading slumps VERY often. I spend so much time trying […]

Hello Summer!

It’s the first day of summer, and here in Southern California, the weather did not disappoint. It reached about 112 degrees, luckily the hottest day of the week. Even if it’ll hit the high 90s for the rest of the week, we got the hottest one out of the way. Hopefully the humidity dies down with […]

Letter To My Father

Dear Dad, It’s been seven years since I last saw you or heard from you. I don’t even remember the last time I saw you. I know it was a couple of days before the end of the seventh grade. Mid-June, around one of these days. I never had an urge to write anything to […]

A Week of Good Fortune

So the past couple of days have been days full of change. Not only did I get offered a job as a cashier at a pharmacy that I applied to, but I was also promoted at my current job! My assistant manager left because she got a job somewhere else. My manager wasted no time […]

Creating My Own Reality

I am officially free for the summer! I finished all of my finals last week and have been allowing my body and brain to relax this whole week. Let me just tell you, as much as I enjoy not being in school right now, I’m already getting restless by not having something to do every […]

The Final Countdown

It here, the dreaded last three weeks of the semester. The weeks in where you stress more than you have in the entire beginning of the year. Where you catch up on readings and notes, hoping that it will stick to your brain as you cram for those final exams. Where your bedroom becomes the […]

Ghost Driver

Only I would have the luck of a turtle who was dropped into the water only after struggling so much to get out. Yesterday, I got into my first car accident. It’s not the first car accident I’ve been in, but it’s the first car accident that I’m involved in where my car is the […]

What’s It Going To Be?

You looked at them one day and realized the thing that frightened you most in the entire world. It couldn’t be true, so you ignored it, and went on about your day as if it didn’t just fall right in front of your path. You held their hand and left it standing behind you. Surely, […]
