Beach Bum in the Big Apple Part 5: One year later
My parents and I landed in New York City on August 1, 2011, checked in a hotel in Manhattan, then took a cab up to East Harlem to get my new apartment keys. We took a trip to Target to buy things that would make my bedroom look like home, but the starch walls and … Continue reading
Beach Bum in the Big Apple Part 4: Looks like we made it!
*** I just want to write that I am SO proud of all my fellow J-schoolers, we’re almost there! And I hope that 2012 will be a great year for everyone. 🙂 *** I’m so anxious right now. I just keep looking forward. I’m excited about school starting back up soon and I don’t … Continue reading
Beach Bum in the Big Apple part 3: Oh grad school, you’re breaking my heart, you’re shaking my confidence daily
My ma wrote “MISS YOU!!” on my Facebook wall. While I was writing “I miss you too” I could feel it building up…that intense cry with the heaving-breathing was coming. There was no stopping it.

The only problem I see with this is that I hardly ever see guys get slutty for Halloween, or go “all out” in general. There’s a lack of shock … Continue reading
Icebreakers and deal breakers
*Opinion* There are definitely bad ways to approach a woman. Use a pickup line if you have to, but this particular night, a few days ago when my friend Lo and I went to Catch 31, I met a guy who gave me the worst first impression ever. Sitting at a table close to the … Continue reading
Speeding tickets and beating the system
*Opinion* In movies women have played “naive” and “sexy” to get out of speeding tickets, or any ticket. I always thought I would cry and the officer would feel so bad for me he or she would let me go. I never thought to try showing cleavage to get out of a ticket; then again … Continue reading
Relations or relationship?
What are you getting and what do you want? Relations or a relationship? Having sex too early could determine everything.
It’s hard out there for a grad…or is it?
After graduating college, many individuals warn that the job market is tough. I think we should be a little more optimistic and open minded.
