Storytime: My Boyfriend Cheated on Me

But I did—rightfully—hold a huge grudge against my ex after he cheated on me. So, I guess this is story time. Spoiler: I stayed with…

Exhausted to Excited
Right now, I’m feeling tired and burnt out. Fortunately, the exhaustion is more physical than mental. When I’m feeling mentally exhausted it takes longer to recover, but I think all I need for now is some rest over the weekend. I need a day to just stay home and recharge.

How Acupressure Slippers Improved My Sleep
I have a pair of shoes embedded with sharp rocks. As painful as they may look, I can’t go a day without them. Every night before bed, I slip them on and proceed with my nighttime skincare routine or chores. This routine takes about twenty minutes, but it has dramatically improved my sleep. A few…

I think students are encouraged to…

Feet on the Ground
The reason I ever feel anxious or scared is usually rooted in the fear of the unknown. The inability to anticipate what comes next is overwhelming, and I used to try to put my mind somewhere else, so I can ignore or numb out the nervousness. But I realized that can only be done to…

A Love for Olive Green
Recently, I was doing some online window shopping, and was so intrigued with all the colorful and pretty water bottles. Particularly, there are so many different colors of Stanley tumblers. But when I was shopping for mine, there weren’t many options. I think there was a black one and an army green one, and the…

Struggling with Dysthymia: My Journey Towards Happiness
It has been more than two weeks since my last post. I had about five days off from work, and wanted to do nothing but stay inside and do nothing. When I came back to work, the workload was massive, and I think I was still the lazy self that I was during my time…

There’s No Right or Wrong Choice
I cannot express how excited I was to write about this. I already know this is going to be a super lengthy post, so I’m apologizing in advance. Traveling is so fulfilling, and even the inconvenient mishaps and travel hassles turn into precious memories in the end. I have been working full-time since I turned…
