My greatest fear is of the dark. It started when I was three years old, right after I watched a horror TV show without my parents’ knowledge. I had sneaked out of bed and watched it while they were asleep. Unfortunately for me, I soon regretted my decision of defiance. […]

Day 4+5: A Beach Without the Water + Wrapping Up
I decided to combine the last two days of my trip into one blog because 1) the very last day just had a five-hour drive, not much else, and 2) to give my friends a break from editing and publishing 1500-word posts each day. Anyway, last night’s sleep was the best […]
Day 3: Rainbow-Rock Reality
Day 2: Of All the Things I Could’ve Done in Santa Fe
Remember when I said in my last post that the journey is just as important as the destination? Well, to be totally honest with you, the journey matters even more. To me, anyway. I’m not that good at being a tourist. I know how weird that sounds. A bad tourist? […]
Day 1: To Lubbock…and Beyond!
I’m not actually a Toy Story fan. The reference serves its purposes, though. Anyways, I forced myself to sleep three hours earlier than my usual 4 a.m. bedtime, and the entire night consisted of restless naps in between disruptive periods of waking up, heavy-headed and confused, only to somehow fall asleep […]
The Endless Inferno Called Summer: Week 6

The Endless Inferno Called Summer: Week 3
Welcome back to another narcissistic post of mine. I have reached the yearly is-this-what-seasonal-depression-feels-like checkpoint. I’m exaggerating, but there’s a point during every summer break where I feel blegh. It’s 10 p.m. on a Sunday (the night before I’m supposed to publish, by the way), and I have just started […]
The Endless Inferno Called Summer: Week 2
Congratulations on surviving another week of hell. As a reward for my survival (and for actually writing another blog post on time), I treated myself to a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream. The Kroger brand one. I’m sorry to all of y’all “Texas and I are one” peeps, […]
The Endless Inferno Called Summer: Week 1
There are two sides to summer vacation: Teen Beach Movie and endless inferno. You may know which side I’m on. And if you don’t, you might’ve guessed from the fact that I am not spending my summer vacation partying. Instead, I am writing unnecessarily for the school newspaper, even though […]
