i am currently a sophomore at suffolk university's new england school of art and design. i am obsessed with speaking spanish. i love trying new foods and learning about different cultures. i'm a bit of a treehugger. i'm a vegetarian and i love to cook. shopping is one of my favorite activities. i'd like to travel to every continent, at least once. madrid is my second home.
roommates are often times the one thing about college that students get the most nervous about. they are truly an important element of college life. a great roommate can make a great semester even better, a mediocre roommate can bring you down (that’s why you make other friends and then you can go to their […]
my mom had told me a few weeks ago that mixfest (a free annual concert held by a local radio station by the charles river in the half shell- if you don’t know where that is, think boston pops on the fourth of july) was going to be during the first week or so of […]
classes are now back in full swing. projects have been assigned. thumbnails are being sketched. and in my graphic design three class, we learned how to bind books…miniature books to be exact. i am now the proud creator of four books that are smaller than four inches by four inches. the smallest one is 1×1! […]
i am sad to admit it, but i am now officially a senior in college. as exciting as it sounds, i actually wish that i wasn’t… i am not ready for the real world! my fears aside, i think this is going to be a pretty great semester. my first impression of all my classes […]
well i have skipped the official moving day in boston, but tomorrow is my own personal move in day. boston is a nuthouse on aug 31 (move out) and sept 1 (move in). i am perfectly fine with never having that experience. so i have postponed my moving in day til tomorrow when, hopefully, everything […]
one of the downsides of college: moving. it’s a pain in the butt no matter how excited you are about your new comforter. boxes and packing bubbles (if your me, you use plastic bags), bags and bins of STUFF. you never realize how much stuff you have/accumulate over the semester or year until you have to […]
i was so excited for senior year of high school to start (and be done really quickly) but i am really not looking forward to starting my senior year in college. not that its going to be bad or anything just it means after this year (and it’ll go by fast i am sure), it’s […]
my family threw a graduation party this past weekend. it wasn’t for me (not yet anyway–thankfully), it was for my sister’s high school graduation! we made it a little later in the summer because in june, there is at least 2 grad parties a day. by mid-august there are no conflicts! woohoo! it is very […]
sickness in july ≠ christmas in july. being sick in the summer is probably one of the worst things. the combination of feeling awful and not being able to curl up in a bunch of blankets because of the heat is just plain uncomfortable. all the traditional remedies– hot tea, hot soup, comfy blankets and […]
in my attempt to make my summer in the city more like my summers at home, i have been taking every free moment to make the trek to the beach. so far i’ve only gone a few times but i has been so nice to escape the concrete for a few hours. my friends and […]
