I'm HOME!

And operation last minute vacation was a complete SUCCESS! I had a blast in 

It definitely was an unforgettable experience. I also bonded with my family, something I truly appreciate prior to my leaving for school. 

I am very thankful to have had this opportunity. But, ALAS, the time has come. With less than 5 days until I leave for Evanston, it's time to get things CRACKIN'!

Here's everything I have to do before I leave:

• Buy more hair products:
Since I am a (proud) natural, I have to stock up on products! I need enough to last me until Thanksgiving break, and possible longer than that! Check out my YouTube channel to see my favorite products.

• Last minute dorm needs:

Yep, you're reading that correctly. I still have all of that to get. However, some things we are planning on buying in Evanston (phew)! What can I say...

• Finish a book

True proof of my procrastination skills here. Be jealous. I received this book some weeks ago and I don't think I'm passed the first chapter. It's just so...well I don't know. But it isn't necessarily mandatory (no excuse). I'll finish it though, I'm determined. 

• Be a video productions advisor
No picture for this. My sisters were in an all girls summer camp, and I helped out with all things technology related. The camp founder appreciated my help so much that she put her beloved video camera in my hands to check it out. I have to actually do that so her faith in me doesn't twiddle away. 

• Dye my hair! 

With my good ol' pal, Manic Panic! It's all vegan, so I can leave it on however long I like to and still get a vibrant yet subtle purple color! Best thing is, purple is both my favorite color and my college color! It's a win-win for me! Plus, I look pretty darn cool with purple hair. 

• DO my hair

I reeeeaaaaalllly don't want to have to worry about doing my hair everyday, while also worrying about getting the hang of college. So, to take some weight off of my shoulders, I'm going to give myself some mini twists (look above)! They're cute, easy, protective.

That's all, folks!
Only four more days! Wow. Wow. Wow.

XOXO

A Letter for Kay: Advice to New College Students

Here's a wild fact: I graduate in less than a week. And even though I've known that fact for a while now (except, maybe, right before my econ final), it's still not real enough. I still cannot fathom how these last four years flew by but at the same time went excruciatingly slow. It's been a hell of a ride, let me tell you. Northwestern was my dream school for as long as I can remember. I applied early decision because there was never another option for me, honestly. I wanted to go to the best journalism school, despite snarky remarks from classmates insinuating that I wasn't good enough. And when I got in , honey, excited was an understatement. I started my first day of college in 2013. And now I'll be walking across a stage to get this expensinve diploma in a week. I can't say it's all been pleasant - because it hasn't. It's been a tough ride many days, some I wondered if this day would ever come. Some I felt so isolated and alone that I f

Bienvenidos a Argentina: Be Kind to Yourself

Image
Today marks the end of 2017's first full week! I hope the year is off to a rejuvinating start for everyone. Oh, and today also marks the end of my first week in Buenos Aires, Argentina! For those of you who don't know, I'll be interning here until the end of March. As any journalist would, I definitely did my homework on Argentina before getting here. The food, the music, the culture at large - and how I would fit in with it. As with any place, there's a variety of experiences people had. Here are some of mine, as well as thoughts and some photos I took along the way. Being in Argentina has already showed me the beauty in slowing down. In the U.S., and ESPECIALLY at universities like Northwestern, it is extremely normalized to stay busy and moving at 300000 mph. If we're idle, we're being inefficient. If there's too much time to relax, we're being lazy. That can grow to be exhausting and toxic as all get out.  But here? On the contrary. Here it'
