Dilemma-ish
What happens if I want to serve human kind as a proficient and caring doctor, but my dream career is making couples’ special day perfect as a wedding planner? :( My dad was talking to me yesterday about how I could still be anything I wanted to be. Anatomy and physiology intrigues me in every way, especially with a focus on the nervous system, but with more research on being a wedding...
Pride
I think I am so much more prideful than I want to believe that I am. Really sitting down to think about it today has enlightened me to how my deep deep pride about myself affects everything I do. Or at least everything worldly that I do. And of course, we all have to do things in this world. I rarely get into arguments with people, but when I do, I hold that grudge like nobody’s business....
Home!
Like people have told me, the winter break after your first semester of college is really weird. I’m home, but nothing else is really the same. I mean, it feels good to be back, for sure. I spent the day with both my parents and friends, driving around San Jose with my parents and driving around Fremont with friends. Revisitng familiar roads in my car feels so good. I feel like I know every...
There Is a Boy Crossing a River
As I sit on this comfy couch in Norton’s building lounge, 6 Microsoft Office documents opened all dedicated to my Comp Lit paper, my favorite Legaci cover videos set running on a YouTube playlist, chewing on a lemon-flavored Starburst that Eunsun stole from Andrew for me, as the clock is 2 minutes from 3:00am, I’m struck by how privileged I am to be studying for finals. (I’m...
Optimism Prime
There must be some mystical power in optimism and hope that makes it so spectacular. There must be some reason that moments of appreciation for the beautiful things of the world are so rare, and exceptional.
Depression, hopelessness, stress, strife, and contempt are so accessible and so frequent in our lives. But joy is so rare. Why is that?
Our lifestyles are molded each day, to make negativity...
Reminiscence Is Good
Here I am sitting in Main Stacks, having worked diligently on my Comparative Literature essay for about 2 hours now. While taking mindless notes, though, I was listening to worship music. Honestly, this is peace.
Then I started listening to R&B slow jams, which I haven’t listened to in a looong time. It’s making me so very reminiscent of times before. Already almost two years in...
Is Odwalla Magic?
Because I started off my day by drinking an Odwalla Mega Protein Chocolate smoothie for breakfast. And I have just been spending this entire day in springing vitality so far. Allow me to explain.
My first class, Comp Lit in the morning, was actually pleasant! This is despite the fact that we were working on our final papers the entire time. Writing papers makes me sad in college, and Comp Lit is...
What the Hey God
You are beautiful. Thank you for Your love.
…k so you know how sometimes, short and concise statements/posts leave powerful marks and stuff? I wanted to do that on this post, but uh… cool-post-writer fail. Oh well. God is so full of wonder that He keeps me wondering eternally. He is so majestic that my neck hurts from looking upward too long to try and take it all in. And His love. It...
