Hello everyone!

I know what you're thinking, "Long time no blog, Sierra!"

Well, I've been adjusting to my new life and I think I finally have the hang of things. If you don't know what the term "new life" refers to, I mean my life as a college girl!

If you read my last few blog posts, you will know that I've been on campus since September 3rd! I haven't actually been in class, as I was here for a writing/cultural program. And, boy, did I love it.



I learned about things such as inclusion, love, and success. I learned about accepting others. I learned to not put boundaries on myself. 

I also gained some friendships that I see lasting for a very very long time. Living with 20 other girls on a floor may seem daunting at first, but it brought us all so much closer to one another. We went from the awkward "So...where are you from?" To "Is your boyfriend really coming? I'm jealous!" 


And beyond just the friendships I've made with the other girls, I feel like I have a network of family in the SAW (summer academic workshop) program.


And get this. Not only did I make tons of friends, visit great places, and ate good food. I also got to move into my dorm earlier than all the other freshmen. Anyone who has experienced college before (or watched Gilmore Girls) knows that move in days are super hectic. But my roommate and I will get to chill while others are bringing boxes and fridges. 


All in all, I am pumped for what college has to offer to me. I know a lot of people are depending on me, but the most important person to make happy is me. I'll take chances, I'll offer my opinion, I'll follow my heart, and I won't regret a thing. 

To all of my college freshmen, how has your experience been thus far?? To my fellow quarter system babies, the time has finally come!!

XOXO
-Si

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

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'
