Taking a day

Long weekends are awesome. Who doesn’t love the idea of having an extra day off? There is so much room for activities – traveling, napping, running, brunching – and anything else you wish you could do on a regular basis but never seem to find the time. I had a great Easter weekend. I was… Read More Taking a day

Why grad school is like training for a (half) marathon

April 15 is fast approaching, which means it’s almost thesis submission time for many of us. The process of putting the final touches on your thesis can be overwhelming, because you want to make sure that every detail is perfect, and that you’re very prepared.

What I Learned Last Year

As I was setting my goals for 2017, I had some time to reflect on everything I learned in the past year. 2016 was a year full of ups and downs, new friends, new experiences, and large milestones.

Grad School Goal-Setting

The new year is almost upon us, and that means it’s almost time to create new year’s resolutions to bring with us into the beginning of January and the following 12 months. Many of us create these goals – exercise more, eat healthier, be happier, submit your thesis – but what is the difference between… Read More Grad School Goal-Setting

Hello, Technology

So, it’s over. I did a two-week technology cleanse, and learned a lot about myself and my surroundings. I was able to achieve most of my goals, or at least move in the right direction toward decreasing my overall screen time. What I did: I was able to limit my social media use through the… Read More Hello, Technology

Waiting for Midnight

The year may change and so might the setting, but those final moments leading up to midnight always feel the same. The champagne cork will pop soon, and the clock will shove December and the last twelve months aside. We wait in anticipation to welcome a year that’s new – a set of four digits… Read More Waiting for Midnight

A wishful look ahead

You may think it’s too late for New Year’s resolutions, given that it’s already mid-February. But, the truth is, it’s never a bad time for some wishful thinking about the future, however near or far ahead you’re thinking. Particularly on days where I lack motivation, inspiration and positivity (hey, it happens to all of us),… Read More A wishful look ahead
