I admit it. I'm another one of those Californians who is enamored by everything Fall and the changing colors of the trees. We all expected a fall post, so here it is. 

I only recently noticed the different colored leaves since I've been kind of stuck in this bubble of bio and chem. Even now, all I can think of when looking at the trees are: carotenoids, photosynthesis, and cell respiration. Today, I decided to just enjoy my first Autumn in the east coast. I'm kind of obsessed with the vibrant reds and oranges the trees create. The hype is real, and it's great.

Here's to finally being inducted as the stereotypical Californian surprised by weather, different colored trees, and pretty much everything.


Trick or Treat Yo-Self

Happy Halloweekend! I've come to the understanding that Halloween isn't really a one-day holiday in college. I guess my celebration started Thursday night. 

TBH, my week started out pretty rough with midterms. And my anxiety kind of lingered on throughout the week just waiting for Monday's midterm grades to come out. Come Thursday, I was pretty much ready to take off my thinking cap and wear a different costume. Actually, I didn't wear a costume, but I did dress up to go to the MFA After Dark. But I mean, this dress kind of makes me feel like some evil witch or something. I try I try. 

The MFA was actually pretty cool (you know what was also cool? free gelato. smooooth- oh my the puns). I was pretty disappointed that I wasn't able to explore the entire museum. But, that place is freaking huge. You need to spent at least a good 12 hours there to get a feel of this place. But, I guess I do have 6 years to explore. 

Anyways, it's getting late. Enjoy your weekend (;



2014 Fall Playlist: CommonFire

Here it is, my Fall playlist. I can't believe that it's already fall. These are the songs that I have been listening to this past month or so. And just like the changing weather, I believe that there might be a changing of playlists sooner than I thought. But, I had to share these favorites. Most of these are songs to keep me up while late-night studying. Since I made this playlist a while ago, some new songs have been added to the playlists: "Leave Me Alone" by KAYTRANADA and "que paso?" by Robby Hunter Band. Also, I had to put "Carousel" by Melanie Martinez to celebrate the premiere of American Horror Story: Freak Show. The song is featured in the trailers; it's incredibly creepy just like the series. Ugh, the show is so good though. A+ acting and costumes. Another episode of AHS comes out this Wednesday. I highly suggest you to start watching it.

Side note: I went to the park to take pictures for this post, and I met some squirrel friends. A few squirrels came up to me asking for food. Agh, they are so freaking cute.






Status Update.

It's been over a month since my last post. TBH, it's been a really hectic month. College is no joke. I remember quietly wishing to be college as I sat in my Calculus class during high school. For some reason, I had this perception that college would be so much easier and that I'd have so much free time. But, no. Actually, college is easier in a sense that you're taking classes that you are somewhat interested in. So, the material isn't completely irrelevant to you. Being a pharmacy major, I feel as if there is a lot more pressure to do well. Every little mistake will have some effect on my future career. Hence, I've been trying to solidify my studying habits.

So yeah, this past month has been me just eating, sleeping, and studying (and a bit of socializing). But, I really want to keep this blog active, so I am going to try to post every other week..maybe every week (just maybe). 

Right now, it's rainy and gloomy in Boston. So, I had to break the chunky cardigans. I find it too hard to think of something to wear, especially when I have to wake up at 8 am everyday. You can never go wrong with an all black outfit + a cardigan.

Ugh. Time to study. K bye. See you next week? Maybe.
