As I’m lying here in bed, I find myself thinking about connections. My mind is abuzz with questions and contemplations. How often do we pass through someone’s life just with a glance? I have been more atuned with my surroundings lately, and have noticed how much we take for granted. Think about it: you’re at … More Narrative #4: Connections.
I’ve been so busy with school and my clinical internship, that I barely find time to enjoy my writing here. I have been doing yoga as a way to connect with myself, destress and be happy. It’s been going well. I really enjoy practicing it. To be able to see progress in bends and movements … More Today, I’m ok.

I’ve always hated them mostly because if I go forth and make one and say it out loud, then if I don’t reach said goal I will be disappointing myself and others. I hate being a disappointment. Thus I steer clear of making any type of resolutions. That … More New Year, New Rambling
So I’ve been living in Philly since August, and it has been an adventure. I had no friends here when I moved, I barely had any money and I wasn’t sure how grad school was going to treat me. It’s been an interesting start to a new chapter in my life. I have come to … More a new chapter.
I recently chopped 12 inches of hair off to donate to Wigs for Kids, an organization I learned about through my years participating in Penn State’s THON (the largest student-run philanthropy that raises money to aid in the fight against pediatric cancer). Wigs for Kids allows children to receive wigs for free with the aid … More New City, New Hair, New Adventure
