“Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate...”

Due earlier than the marked expiration date
My milk went sour a week earlier than it is supposed to. I suddenly have a huge craving for some cold milk and cereal and Gwen Stefani’s Sweet Escape particularly for this phrase: ” Cause I’ve been acting like sour milk all on the floor. It’s your fault you didn’t shut the refrigerator. May be that’s the reason I’ve been acting so cold?” Now...
Happily ever after...?
Once upon a time, there was a girl and a boy in love. Everything was perfect until they had to choose different paths for themselves. The girl never stopped loving him. Neither did the boy. But, the girl felt like the boy wasn’t putting much effort in their relationship. She thought she was just overreacting, but the frequent lonely and unsatisfied nights convinced her otherwise.

Stream of consciousness
Wish I could wear sun dresses in iridescent colors. Yellow and purple. I haven’t seen a sunset in a while. El perro. L-l-l-l-lick me like a lolipop. Brown sugar. Herbs. Obama is a storyteller. Take the derivative of 1/square root of (4x-5) using the limit definition. Geek. Beauty and the Beast is an awesome movie. So is Alice in Wonderland. Halloween is legit. Baller. Ghosting.

Why do you drink?
Staying sober at parties made me realize some inconvenient truths. For instance, some people (a particular person, in this case) are excruciatingly obnoxious, self-centered, and rude especially when drunk.
I used to drink for social reasons. As soon as the alcohol rushes in my system, it gave me the confidence I needed in order to have a good time. It also made me ignorant of the fact that I am...
WatchOh, just a couple of love birds harmonizing with each other.

Take two
My first attempt at growing herbs failed miserably. I am still not too sure what I did wrong, but it’s probably because I left it in my dorm room during my entire winter break. This time, instead of planting three different types of herbs — thyme, jasmine and oregano — as I did my first time, I only planted thyme seeds. According to wikipedia, the ancient Greeks would use it in...
ADAPT
Stephanie Lake, the presenter of the Alcohol, Drug Abuse Prevention & Treatment, prepared the most informative slideshow filled with useful tips for me along with a group of other students who have been violated the residential contract. As a punishment for violating the housing policies, we were required to attend an hour and a half long ADAPT class.
At first, I was filled with fear and...
Into the dawn
The first week went by pretty fast, but I feel like I have done so much work in those 5 school days. My first week was almost successful: I kept up with readings, pactice problems and background information research, and I still managed to go to the ARC a couple of times. It is true that the amount of workload and the level of difficulty was very manageable since it was only the first week of...
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T. Do you know what that...
It might seem a tad bit early, but my prospective roommates - Cheryl, Jamie, and Ashley - have decided to go on an apartment hunt with Gary and Alice. As freshmen, we were provided with housing and food from the school with a certain price tag. Next year, however, we will need our own place to live. The thought of living completely on our own is very exciting, but it all comes at a certain price...
Pinky promise, pinky swear, pinky square. No take...
My friend, Suzi, and I made a pact to work out at the ARC at least twice a week watch each other to eat healthy. Both of our problem is that we would still eat just to taste the food even when we are full. Hm, we’ll see how long our pact will last…

Carrie Bradshaw, the protagonist of the winnig television show turned into a movie, Sex and the City, could not have put it better. As a girl with a some degree of interest in fashion, I find it that either my closet space is shrinking or my personal collection of garments and fabrics are increasing. Either way, this problem could have been avoided if I had a bigger closet.
Unfortunately,...
Rules of Gold
When I was about 7, my dad gifted me my first and only chess set (who knows where it is now) and would play with me from time to time. As a child, the idea of moving plastic objects according to the rules on a checkered bored bore me and I quickly lost interest in this game. It was not until recently that I have rediscovered my interest in chess when I randomly started playing it on my computer on...
A mind to spare
As the current economy is growing worse each day worldwide , I cannot help but to notice how much my awareness toward the flow of money has grown. I have never had a job and my family is not filthy rich, but money was something that was readily available for me until recently. Therefore, living on my own (although my parents have already paid for room and board) made me becomre more aware of where...
