About two months ago, during the stress of Spring Quarter midterms, everyone was talking about what they were going to do this summer. A few people, including myself, had figured out internship plans weeks before. (One of my friends is at Semester at Sea, two of my friends are doing research about happiness in India, and another friend is spending …

Summertime, The Livin’s EasyMay 28th, 2011 6:10 am
BEEP BEEP BEEP. I smashed the snooze button on my alarm again, taking comfort in the loud crunch as my clock fell of my bedstand. It’s just too early. I was finally awoken by the sound of the taco truck that drives down my street at 3 pm everyday. I grudgingly pulled myself from my warm cocoon, removed the many … Czeching InMay 27th, 2011 5:44 am
I am finally back! I have been so busy finishing my first year of college, taking finals, and, oh ya, getting ready to move to Prague for the next 6 weeks that blogging completely slipped my mind. … A Walk Down Memory LaneMay 14th, 2011 5:20 am
For my last night in Waco before summer, my friends and I went out to eat for our “last supper” together. We couldn’t help but feel sentimental about already finishing half of our college careers and how fast it had gone by. All we could seem to talk about was the memories that we had together from freshman year to … A New AppreciationApril 25th, 2011 3:43 pm
There’s a common saying that “you don’t appreciate things until they’re gone.” I’ve always thought it sounded a little cliché, but now that I’m in college the phrase has become strangely true for me. My family and I have always been very close. I am so blessed to have two wonderful parents and three younger brothers, the youngest being only … 90s Party with AneelApril 21st, 2011 7:47 pm
Backstreet Boys. Spice Girls. Nelly. Notorious B I G. Nelly. 98 Degrees. All of these remind me of my childhood, one filled with great music and great times. Childhood was such a simple time in my life, and sometimes its fun to look back on. What’s even more fun is reliving your childhood all over again, which I did this … A Blast From The PastApril 21st, 2011 7:46 pm
Backstreet Boys. “Baby one more time” An instant classic and one I’m not ashamed of singing in my earlier days. Toy Story (the first and best one). Oregon Trail. Reading Goosebumps. Beanie Baby collections. Green Day (back when they actually had talent). There are so many awesome things born in and subsequently murdered in the 90′s (except for Britney Spears … Divide and ConquerApril 21st, 2011 7:44 pm
I was minding my own business, trying to read some supremely captivating 400 page book about the state of Indian Ocean trade in the twelfth century, when the sudden and surely unwelcome telltale Ding-Ding of a text message rudely interrupted. “Yo, Thursday nights at Jack’s let’s do it.” I groaned in dissapointment at the unwelcome message and curtly responded “No, … Twas the Night Before School… AFTER Spring BreakMarch 24th, 2011 2:26 pm
Every spring semester comes one of the most anticipated weeks of the year… spring break. At the end of spring break comes one of the most dreaded days of the year… the night before school starts again. Students have just experienced one of the most exhilarating weeks of our life. Whether it was skiing, laying out on a beach, or … March MadnessMarch 15th, 2011 4:50 am
I’ve come to the conclusion that March is the best month of the year. No, it’s not the month of my birthday. No, it doesn’t have many holidays. And yes, school is still in session. March is the best month of the year because its jam-packed with festivities throughout the month. Spring Break, Spring Training, March Madness, the final stretch … Alternative Spring BreakMarch 15th, 2011 4:48 am
Finally, Spring Break! No more tests or studying for a week. I couldn’t wait to have the week off but I wasn’t doing the typical beach or ski vacation. Instead I decided to do an alternative spring break: a UT program where students go to another city and volunteer or do a service project. I chose to go to New … Texas on TopFebruary 5th, 2011 7:40 am
As the Spring Semester comes into full swing, so too do college athletics. Even with a recent disaster for a football season, The University of Texas keeps finding ways to stay on top. With the promise of a bright future, UT Athletics inked a deal with ESPN worth $300 million over 20 years, which will go down as one of … Second Semester BluesFebruary 5th, 2011 7:39 am
Now that I have returned to the University of Texas and begun my new routine and classes I have realized….last semester I had it so easy. No classes until 11, minimal reading assignments everyday, and weeknights free to “study” (aka go to mixers or catch up on my tv shows.) Well was I in for a big surprise when I … Going the DistanceJanuary 23rd, 2011 7:00 am
A few months ago, a movie called Going the Distance premiered in theatres. The movie is about a long-distance relationship between a guy who lives in New York, and a girl who’s getting her masters at Stanford. The movie portrayed that the main problems of being in a long-distance relationship are jealousy and not physically being together. But being in … I’ll be Home for ChristmasJanuary 11th, 2011 9:37 am
Aneel and I saw each other for the first time since summer a few days before Christmas. It was such a fun time to see all of our friends and catch up! Coming home for the holidays, or for any reason, is always a good time. I’m always excited to come home, no matter what the occasion is. I love … |
