2011 reflection challenge: day 8, 9
the funnest getaway: honestly i consider any time spent with friends a getaway, but i think the most relaxing getaway for me is when i’m just walking in a park, hiking, looking out from beauchamps/hunter’s point, something nature-esque. i realized that it takes my mind off of busy and noisy school life.
the end of last school year/the beginning of this one: the end of last school year...
one thing (acoustic) - one direction
2011 reflection challenge: day 5, 6, 7
the most memorable moment: there were definitely a lot of memorable moments that happened this year, and i honestly don’t think that i can just pick one and call it the most memorable. from something that happened in seconds (like laughing at those korean celebrity look-a-like pictures) to longer events (like having the annual hangout at great america with my loves), 2011 definitely had its...
good deeds
i had a college interview yesterday, and there were many things that stuck with me about what he said he had learned in college. one was the idea of good deeds, and he told me something like this:
whenever people think of good deeds, they think of helping someone. but an author argued that those good deeds aren’t good deeds at all, because the person performing it ultimately seeks attention...
2011 reflection challenge: day 2, 3, 4
relationships: taken!
best day: 12/15 (winter formal + start of winter break + college result)
worst day: i definitely cried in school a few times in 2011, but i think my worst memory happened on the airplane as i was coming back from shanghai over summer. my mom went to the restroom and my dad was seated in front of us, and my sister’s ears decided to pop at that moment. she immediately...

a few things you will never forget in 2011

1000th post!
because i could not wait until 1/1/12 to do this, here’s to what’s left of winter break, second semester seniors, and a new year :)
intellectualquotes:
“I discovered at an early age that I was— shall we be kind and say different? It’s a better, more general word than the other one. I indulged in certain practices that our society regards as shameful. And I got sick. It wasn’t the practices, I don’t think, it was the feeling that the great, deadly, pointing forefinger of society was pointing at me— and the great voice of...

tori kelly and aj rafael are adorable

merry christmas everyone!
intellectualquotes:
“Most of the writers I know are weird hybrids. There’s a strong streak of egomania coupled with extreme shyness. Writing’s kind of like exhibitionism in private. And there’s also a strange loneliness, and a desire to have some kind of conversation with people, but not a real great ability to do it in person.”
David Foster Wallace

“But we are living in a skeptical and, if I may use the phrase, a thought-tormented age; and sometimes I fear that this new generation, educated or hypereducated as it is, will lack those qualities of humanity, of hospitality, of kindly humor which belonged to an older day..”

“The Dead,” James Joyce
we all blame society, but we are society.
after what just happened, this quote cannot be more accurate.
i guess the first part is self-explanatory. we can blame society all we want for bad grades, bad family relationships, lack of self-esteem, lack of friends… anything really. and that’s what leads to cutting, overdose, and suicide.
but we are society. don’t you see it? had none of us known better, we would have just...
to everyone out there with an itouch
i started syncing my music last night and i ran into a problem!
i changed the names of the artists in my itunes library so that all of an artist’s songs will fall under one name, but after my itouch finished syncing i noticed that some songs still weren’t under the same name (because i downloaded my music, i have songs unfortunately said to be by “www.RNBxBeatz.com”). does...

“The stories sit on my desk no longer clean and white but well thumbed and disheveled. Some are smudged with the charcoal residue of my fire-stoking fingers, others puckered from an accidental slide into the bathtub. Rumpled, lofted by handling, they take up more space now, in their nonvirgin states. This seems fitting to me: a page that has been read, pored over, should stake claim more...

i tried mike’s supposed effective way of studying and drew graphic organizers. turns out that in the end i just got lazy and drew graphic organizers using the section titles, so therefore i just wasted my time by basically repeating my notes T_T

as much as i despise my mom at times
yesterday night she gave me a 30 minute back rub/massage because i refused to do homework. during that time i was talking to her about college and stuff and although she did lecture me a bit, she was very honest with me and i really respected that. i mean at school everything college related is taken with a sharp ear and a two-faced smile; it was really nice to hear someone who really cares for...

i feel like with the hype that hovers around the starbucks peppermint mocha, the salted caramel mocha is not getting the fame it deserves. i was never a big fan of caramel but i love this mocha so much more yum

influence
i realized that i’m too influenced by society and thus tend to overthink my actions. whether it be guys, friends, or school, i always think about how others would see my actions and how i would be judged by what i do.
i think this is the part of me that always scoffs at people who post those tumblr text posts about how she wants to tell the bitch that she’s a bitch, that he’s...
vivvles:
“Perhaps this is how it is - life flowing smoothly over memory and history, the past returning or not, depending on the tide. History is a collection of found objects washed up through time. Goods, ideas, personalities surface towards us, then sink away. Some we hook out, others we ignore, and as the pattern changes, so does the meaning. We cannot rely on the facts. Time, which returns...
