The Bridge to Bliss

Maybe it doesn't seem that these two are related, but watch me make it work! FIRST THINGS FIRST, Hello all! I'm back from the magic wonderland that is Northwestern. Well, not really. For one, I'm not technically back. I'm still in Evanston, I'm just back on Blogger after yet another hiatus. And, don't get me wrong, Northwestern is very much a wonderland at times. But times like now, which is midterm season, the glow of the magic wears away. Yes! It is midterm time here at NU, and all throughout campus are stressed out nerds who just want to pass. I'm one of them! I know, I know, stress is bad. But it's also easy. Between having two quizzes on top of multiple writing assignments every week in one class, over 200 pages of reading a week for another, trying to slowly become fluent in another language, AND extra-curriculars? SAVE ME, I'M DROWNING!! Honestly, it's so much!! So how have I been coping? Enjoying the simple things: time with fri...

Haven't done one of these in a while! I listened to Drake's new album, and one song specifically will not leave my head. So I'm spreading it with you!

Aloha! I know, I know...long time no see. But this time, it isn't because I've simply forgotten about the B2B. College is... phew! It's fun but there is very little time to blog. Recap, anyone? Classes: Are going pretty good. I have not aced every single assignment with ease, but I haven't expected to. But I'm not slacking and doing poorly. I'm doing well! My assignments are being turned in on time and they are all done with full effort (and are spent at least an hour on). We're headed into week #4, so it's time for me kick into high-gear in order to finish strong.  Extra-curriculars: In High School, I was known for having a full schedule. To avoid spreading myself too thin too soon, I've started out with only a few clubs. I'm a member of the Black Student Union, I write for a campus publication, I joined a student Christian group, and I have a job/volunteer opp mentoring intercity Chicago teens in journalism! That's enough right now...
