Is it just me or did January fly by really fast? When I turned over the calendars today, it didn’t feel right. My January wasn’t particularly busy. I was mostly stuck at home trying to fill my days with something constructive (besides starting this blog). It is just hard for me to wrap my mindContinue reading “February”

Missing The Cinema
This past weekend, my husband and I watched Wonder Woman 1984 on Amazon Prime. When I was watching it, it didn’t feel any different compared to watching any normal movie on a streaming platform. Then it hit me – It was one of the movies we were planning on seeing in the cinema over theContinue reading “Missing The Cinema”
Sorority Story
When trying to tell my non-American friends about being in a sorority, they automatically think of the movies. The more I try explaining what it is really like, the more I realize it is actually a weird concept for those outside of American culture. My story about being in a sorority is a little differentContinue reading “Sorority Story”
Birchbox Review
Since May of 2020, I have been getting a Birchbox every month. Birchbox is a beauty box subscription service where you have hand picked skincare and beauty products delivered to your door. You fill out a quiz online to help them get a better understanding of what products would best suit you. Overall, I thinkContinue reading “Birchbox Review”
Hope for the Future
Yesterday, a historic moment happened in Washington D.C. – the first Black, Asian, female vice president was sworn into office. I couldn’t help feel my heart swell with joy. I still can’t believe how long it has taken for a woman to get into this position of power in the United States. I really doContinue reading “Hope for the Future”
My Pandemic Wedding
This morning, I was going through the cards Peter and I were sent for our wedding. I was taking each card and “scrapbooking” them into our wedding photo album we had made. It has now been just a month and a day since we married. It’s crazy to think that’s how little time has passedContinue reading “My Pandemic Wedding”
5 Years From Now..
I think it’s safe to say that all of us did not expect the world to be where it is right now five years ago. The question “where do you see yourself in five years?” is a question I LOATHE with a passion. I’ve had this for countless interviews and it seems to get repetitive.Continue reading “5 Years From Now..”
In My Words: My Relationship with the Media
For my final MA project, I interviewed female sports fans and wrote about their relationship with the media. The women interviewed were aged 19 all the way up to their early 60’s. This lengthy project opened my eyes to how the media directly and indirectly portrays female fans and how they interact with them. TheContinue reading “In My Words: My Relationship with the Media”
Video Games: A Slight Obsession
Today I started playing a new game on the Nintendo Switch called, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. I’ll admit it, I’m addicted to it already. My husband knew I would like it because of me being obsessed with Animal Crossing. It is the rebranding of Harvest Moon and my husband has pointed outContinue reading “Video Games: A Slight Obsession”
Advice: Grad School in the UK
When I came to the UK for the first time, I knew that I wanted to come back for graduate school. After doing my research about how everything works, I found it to be really simple for an American to come over and study. Since I am finished (though my graduation ceremony keeps getting cancelled),Continue reading “Advice: Grad School in the UK”
