What social life?
Clearly it has been about 3 months since my last post on here, and I had hoped to write something of political or social significance the next time I wrote, and in fact, within these past 3 months, we’ve had a handful of people announce they will be running for President in 2016; the Supreme Court voted in favor of marriage equality and approved the Affordable Healthcare Act; Charleston sparked…

Impending heartbreak or horizon of success?
Much to the excitement of some and despair of others, tomorrow is the infamous Ivy day–the day on which all college decisions from the octet of the Ivy League Universities are released. Tomorrow, Harvard, Yale, Penn, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell will announce which of their hundreds of thousands of applicants they will choose to attend their universities for the class of…

Is Sydney a hero?
My Lit teacher posted this topic as a means of discussion on her website, and this was my response, which I feel rather passionately about, so I thought to post it here.
Wilhelm Stekel said that “The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” How does this relate to Sydney (or does it)? Is…

Interview Dayyyy
Hello there, I know it has been a while since I’ve been here last. It has been difficult to maintain posting my picture a day and writing the poetry/novel while maintaining posting here every day, so I’ve decided to create two posts every month at least. The first will be a compilation of all the images I have posted from the Project 365 Photo Edition that month, and the other will be a a handful…

New Beginnings
So today completes the first day of 2015, and as a brief reflection of the year past, I learned a great deal, and while it wasn’t the best year, it definitely wasn’t the worst.
Everything did seemingly fly by, and I did make some wonderful friends and learned a great deal from them. It was a year for me to learn about myself and the world through my writing, my activity on this blog, and all the…

Open letter to all high school seniors...
Dear high school seniors of the world,
I hope you all are doing wonderfully. I know this is most likely either the most stressful time of your life or you’ve given up on everything and are ready for it to be over. Or both. Either way, know that so many others are on the same boat as you and take solace in that.
I also know that many of you receive your decisions from colleges today. Some of you…

Connecting the dots
I found this leaf on my sidewalk and proceeded to take artsy pictures of it! :)
It has been quite a few months since I last blogged, I’ve been to journalism camp, started senior year, and nearly finished my first semester of said year. All this time, I thought about blogging many times, but never made myself actually get it together and do it. I kept thinking about the 100-challenge, and I’m…

As always, this Saturday was research day in majors, so Marilyn and I got together and made sure we knew what our plan of action was for the day and for the remainder of our project. We’ve decided on a subject finally. We’ll be comparing eastern versus western philosophies and doctrine on human rights over the past few thousand years in religion, politics and other movements. I ended up checking out another 12 books and piled them onto the growing stack on the desk in my dorm room. The topic is finally interesting me though, so I’m getting excited, and I thought of a great idea for our board and presentation.
Afterwards, I ate lunch and then sat on West Lawn for a while with Jordan and James and the two of them were practicing their back bends (which James is obsessed with now) when Jordan leaned backwards and then just fell on his head. The next day, James did the same thing, except he fell on his face. My boys… We couldn’t stop laughing needless to say… Then we went inside to take a quick shower so Jordan (a different one) could finally do my henna before the dance that night. After the shower, I went to grab some dinner and happened to sit across from Jordan who was full of sass and said that I should definitely be Cleopatra that night because I was such a princess. Well, ya know me…
Anyhow, later on West Lawn with a large group of people including Adam, Aaron, Alex, Jordan, Shelby, Kelso, Carter and more, Jordan gave me an ankh on my shoulder and then I gave Adam (who kept apologizing for the burden) and Aaron some on their arms. Somewhere during this time, Kelso went over to James to help him with his backbend, so he’d be able to flip himself over, and he kicked her in the face, which resulted in a nosebleed and a couple hours of her and Alex leaving to get her patched up. Jordan and Adam had a few comments on that regard. Then there was a little conversation regarding why straight boys don’t wear tight underwear? I don’t pretend to understand this, but it was hilarious nevertheless for reasons I probably shouldn’t put on the internet.
I went to get ready for the dance at this point, and when I got to Langdale, I saw Haidi, and she helped me put my outfit together. She left, and I put on my makeup all blue and gold-like and headed out. The theme this time around was Late-Great–basically famous dead people.More than anything, I was just in it for the outfit and pictures, which is what I got out of it. I also met Noah and Olivia properly, and we talked for a while with Mitchell before finally heading inside. I didn’t see James, and later found out that he’d been journaling in his room. I did, however, see Peter who was dressed as a fabulous zombie drag queen and Kyle who was originally someone Greek, but ended up as God. There were also a multitude of Amy Winehouses, Bob Marleys, Michael Jacksons, and especially a plethora of Cleopatras (including me) and Audrey Hepburns.

More Haidi cuz <3
Hall lovelies
Oh God
Haidi <3
“dancing…” No but they were actually dancng in this one.
That night, after hall check, we had a s’mores party. I absolutely love my hallmates, have I ever mentioned that? Well I should. First the sarenade to Amber, and now this? Perfect. I also made myself some spicy Ramen, but wasn’t able to finish it before lights out, so it ended up sitting in front of my room all night till I woke up in the morning and was able to clean the bowl. Sadly, I had to throw out all the food in it. Moral of the story, give myself more time for it to cool off next time around.

Stars and Stripes
I woke up at around 7:35 after that painful fire drill and threw on that cute white lace dress and hopped out the door. I saw James and Jordan at Palms. Jordan hair wasn’t a rainbow anymore-it was all black with a purple tint.
At majors, we had donuts and a singalong to America music, but my voice is so hopelessly gone because of the dehumidifier leeching the moisture from my throat that I just…

Buh bye voice D: Everyone seemed to be getting sick, and it looks like my day had come. I woke in the morning with an itchy throat.
Lampshade or hat?
I forgot my soap when I went to shower in the morning… But I did have a nice little meditation session between GA and Langdale, which I suppose compensates. Class was the usual as Ken’s tend to be. We discussed the what makes a city survive and what makes it fail. In the next course, we discussed how economics played a role in Manifest Destiny, the Spanish American War and the Civil War. I do…

Supreme Court ruled that Hobby Lobby was permitted to not include the morning-after pill in their insurance coverage packages because of their religious beliefs. We spent the first hour of the day discussing this case, and while I don’t have a strong opinion on this, I do think that even if this is an organization founded on certain religious principals, them offering this contraceptive in their…

Cloudy with a chance of henna
It poured today. Like massive rain clouds and lightning and the whole nine yards. I was working on the video project with Neil when it started, and I was highly tempted to just jump up and prance around outside for a bit. But we kept working, and It just stopped. I do wish it had kept raining because Valdosta sure did need it after a week of this rancid climate.
But that wasn’t morning. Morning…

Body-modifying
Well today was exciting. After waking up for fasting with Haidi and a few other hallmates, I went back to bed and slept for five hours before getting up and to the tasks of the day, the first of which involved finding the dumpsters to throw away our trash, which we have to clear out every morning, but we usually just end up discarding elsewhere discreetly. Afterward, Ankita and I put some money…

Dance the night away. Jk.
I was just thinking about how weird it was that on Friday, I took a class on Christianity, fasted (as a Muslim) and broke my fast after a Jewish service with the food they served us in he evening. Quite the cultural experience.
Anyhow, I woke up 10 minutes before I had to be off the hall on he morning. It was a nice day to be fasting though so I wouldn’t have to rush to get breakfast. Majors…

Hungry? Nah. Morning was rough. I got about right around 7:30am (if you remember, that’s about 10 minutes before I have to be off the hall), and I rushed to get ready.
Day 4 already? Morning today was slightly better than the past few days save the fact that I forgot to put on socks so my feel were hella cold all night, and I only brought one blanket.
