Threaded Feeling

Apathy, indifference, and lethargy consume our lives until nothing is left but dullness. Decisions and actions, as important or as minuscule as they may be, are usually driven by a tempestuous disinterest that courses through our very own veins. That monotonous reality is what my every waking second is desperately and tirelessly running away from.  […]

To Speak or To Die

Is it better to speak or to die? Now, ideally, we would all rather speak than die. But, in reality, it’s not as easy of a situation. It’s not as simple as opening your mouth and uttering words, or falling into death’s traipse, because nothing in life is as simple as we wish it were.  […]

Influence

Influence, a word, when given little thought, isn’t spared a single notion of its meaning. But, at a second glance, its deep, authentic definition is transpired.  Our lives have become so global, so fluxed together, that anyone, anything, anywhere, can touch us. Can touch our bodies. Can touch our minds. Can touch our souls.  When […]

Going Underwater 

Ever since I was little, the ocean has been my favorite place. It soothes me; it calms me; it loves me, and I love it back.  So, through diving, I was able to become one with the ocean. The endless encounters I’ve had with the ocean thanks to diving, warm my heart because they end […]

What is Love?

What is love? That, ladies, and gentlemen, is the most romantic and universal question out there, well, in my opinion.  That’s because it means something different for every single person who has ever encountered this world.  And this means that I, Mia, am entitled to my own opinion of what love signifies. Now, it’s important […]

Blowing Out Birthday Candles

According to “Urban Dictionary”, a Birthday is the “the day and month that you entered this world, by exiting your mothers womb”. But, I don’t think that describes half of what a birthday is. Birthdays are the one day in the entire year when your friends and families can unabashedly celebrate and spoil you. You […]

My Love Affair with Reading

And yes, love affair. I don’t divulge my love of reading, nor comment on the books that I read, to anyone. It has always been, and forever will be, my dirty little secret.  Absorbing those tiny words that are inked on the yellow-ish pages makes me whole, ever since I can remember. When my friend […]

Thanksgiving & ANS

Having and embracing cultural diversity is something that ANS prides itself on. The student body, alongside the faculty, is filled with individuals who come from diverse backgrounds from all around the globe. Therefore, when the holidays come around, it’s an interesting time since everyone celebrates them differently. In this case, Thanksgiving was right around the […]

Red(Taylor’s Version) – All Too Well (10 Minute Version)

I love Taylor Swift. I am in love with her. I am utterly infatuated by her. She is everything to me, and personally, she is the music industry. If you couldn’t already tell, I am a forever Swiftie (this is what Taylor’s fans are called). I could spend hours GUSHING about Taylor Swift, because I […]
