20.06.2025 – The suitcase is packed, but it’s not going straight home! Last week, I not only started a new chapter, but also my post-graduation trip with my family and Meli around the East Coast. Together we travelled through stunning views in Acadia, slow mornings in Cape Cod, the vibrant streets of NYC, and familiar […]

02.06.2025 The tassel has turned, the cap flown, and the diploma safely packed in Mom’s suitcase – I guess I graduated! Last week was a colorful mix of unforgettable moments – the kind you want to bottle up forever: photo shoots, lots of coffee, back-to-back graduation ceremonies, heartfelt hellos to my family, and teary goodbyes

26.05.2025 – With a smile on my face and tears in my eyes, I just started packing my bags and can’t believe that it’s almost time to leave this incredible chapter of my life behind.   I was sitting on the floor, suitcase half-zipped, surrounded by the memories I had collected this year – name

I’ve submitted my capstone thesis and the related song I wrote and recorded. The only thing left is the presentation next week! As always, the past weeks have flown by. However, the end of my semester was different from what I had anticipated. This post is a tribute to the person who made it all

Over time, I’ve found simple strategies, which made my load a little lighter and helped me spend my time more effectively. As readings took up so much time of my schedule last semester, I’ll dive right in with strategies that helped me to stay on top of them in a manageable time frame.

20.01.2025 – Last week we had an inspiring workshop in J-Term on writing illness narratives. Overall, my week was pretty calm and filled with class work, meeting friends, and trying out the e-piano I bought. I want to take advantage of this slower pace and answer a question, that I often get: How hard are

Holiday Mode On! Last week, I found myself nestling in the wooden rocker of my living room, a cup of chamomile tea in my hands. It first felt weird just sitting there, no looming deadlines or pressing obligations. During the semester, many weeks every second of my time from 5:30am to 10:00pm was completely planned
