Back to Busy!

Hello All!

Before I get to the main topic of this post, I'd like to vent a little: I'm going to talk about the Blogger app for iPhone and other Apple Inc. products..... I HATE IT!!! If you know me, you know I like to type using different colors and fonts and linking words and adding videos and such. But with the app, it's so hard!! The only thing I can do is add text (PLAIN text at that) and a cut off photo at the end of the post. BOO!

I wish I could throw tomatoes at the app!
But, anywho.....this post is about how busy my life is becoming! After my last week in Florida, I got an email saying that the first part of my summer homework for AP Lit is due on July 20th!!! EEK!!! I've got fourteen reflections to do by then.....maybe I shouldn't be blogging........ Oh well. In addition to my homework, I've got tons of other deadlines:
  1. Deadlines for Dormify
  2. Deadlines for Brownstone
  3. Deadlines for scholarships
  4. Deadlines for the B2B!!!
Not to mention that in a few months, I'll be full fledge in the college application process!!!! This means personal statements, essays, financial aid, visits (I'll be visiting Northwestern in less than a month!!!!), and decision letters.

He's afraid of decision letters just like I am!
But anyways, just keep me in high hopes that I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Man, why I do I love the rush of being busy so much???
Till next time

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...

Remember Why You Started

Monday started another week of shuffling through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Jopwell and other various job boards. Another week of sending my resumé out into a black hole and crossing my fingers that this would be the "one." Monday started another week of asking for grace so that I would no longer have to dread hearing that "so, what are your plans for after graduation?" question. Luckily, Monday didn't end the way it started. Pictured: Me, without a single worry about deadlines or cover letters Usually when I take a Facebook break, the result is a couple of laughs and more than a couple of eye rolls. So when I clicked 'enter' on the domain and the familiar blue hue illuminated my face, I expected nothing different. "You have memories from this day," a notification informed me. I clicked the notification and was led to a video that I had posted back in 2011. Play. It began with text "Sierra Lanae on...Accessories!" and background m...

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...
