Sometimes I think in the midst of writing resolutions and starving ourselves for the newest fad diets at the start of the year, we forget…
This wasn't the immersive site-seeing type of trip like I had last year. It was more, let's go shopping and wander through department stores until…
Recently, in a kind of spur of the moment thing, I booked a trip with a friend to visit Kuala Lumpur and Penang. I'm trying…
Okay, I think I have about five more days left on my Final Cut Pro Trial...and last but not least, here's the rest of the…
Today, you can start your new life! So why don’t you? You could if you wanted, if the world wasn’t a complete mess right now, you really could - This is what you tell yourself, this is what she tells herself. But she did this for 1095+ days, and suddenly, who she is, this is it. It’s not a bad thing, she hopes. Perhaps she’s better than who…
Perhaps most frustrating has been forgetting words completely. Because I use about half of the English I used to use before I moved, a lot of those bigger complicated SAT words have completely slipped from my mind. The other day I was trying to remember the word "conspire" and ended up blabbering through a definition of the word before a student corrected me. A lot of my Google…
At “Pan Honesta,” located in the far end of Seoul’s quiet residential neighborhood, early mornings mean muffled conversations, an under-stated dark-roast, and a book. Over the last few years, vegan options have become more sought out, either due to the influx of foreigners now residing in Seoul or as an attractive addition to the city’s budding diversity within the food community.

It's always good to do some research before traveling to another country, and part of that process involves figuring out how you're going to navigate while there. As intimidating as it may seem, I've narrowed down five applications outside of the common Google scope that will make things easier if you're planning on visiting South Korea.…
She and I will go on dates masquerading as friends and confess the things we save for falling stars. I am enamored with leaving our hometown, and the more I speak to such a life, such possibilities, the more I witness the image I saved for her unravel across from me. I will receive an acceptance letter in the mail. I will leave. I will never see her…
