I’ve never really been one to make resolutions. I’m not good at coming up with them and, truthfully, I’m not good at keeping them. Around January 1st, I do like to jot down a few small goals for the year, though. They might not be resolutions exactly, but it at least helps me take whatContinue reading “The 2020s: Season 2!”

A few thoughts on confidence
I’ve always been someone who wants my friends to feel confident in their bodies and in their skin. I’m not an overly nice person — that’s not what I’m saying. But, I know who I am when it comes to jokes about someone’s body or looks, etc. What I want to write about today isContinue reading “A few thoughts on confidence”
MIZ COVID-Diaries: Mun Choi and Administration
We’re entering week 4 here at Mizzou, almost a quarter of the way done with the semester. So far, I’ve gone to one of my in-person classes (just once), quarantined for two weeks, found out I never even got Coronavirus from three different exposures and hallucinated that my cat was in my trash closet. SoContinue reading “MIZ COVID-Diaries: Mun Choi and Administration”
may 2020
I’m an 18-year-old white girl and I’ve lived among more white people my whole life than some could probably even imagine. Like so many white people. If there are tiers of privilege, I’m way up there, just under the fan favorite, white male. For a long time, I had the belief that it’s not myContinue reading “may 2020”
freshman year: I learned…
We go to school to learn — that’s pretty obvious. And once we get to college, how hard we want to try becomes more of an option than ever before. When you get home from a long day of school in college, it looks a lot different. There’s no parental figure asking how you didContinue reading “freshman year: I learned…”
scheduling a sickness
So we’re all at home now, if we can be. Instagram has become a disease in itself and every app you open will flood you with ideas that somehow, in a time like this, you aren’t doing enough. At first it was cute. People shared their daily schedules and a few others commented, “Love!” orContinue reading “scheduling a sickness”
Numbers are stupid!
Go math. Woo-hoo for you if you can do math. I can’t. I’ll please the math major and algebra teachers everywhere by saying yes, it is important. But this is not about math. Numbers are everywhere. Anywhere you look there’s some kind of number affecting your life. You really couldn’t escape them if you tried.Continue reading “Numbers are stupid!”
Tiger Tales
If someone tells you they didn’t struggle with the college selection process, they’re lying. A year ago this week, I visited the University of Missouri (feels weird calling it that) for the first time with my dad. I couldn’t tell you much about how I felt now–college visits tend to go by in a blur.Continue reading “Tiger Tales”
Aux-Phobia
A lot of people have phobias. Spiders, small rooms, snakes, etc. I have a few myself. But this is about a phobia I think many people have but not many talk about: aux-cord-phobia. I’ve grown up with a lot of bold friends with a lot of bold music tastes. Everyone from Brockhampton to Taylor Swift.Continue reading “Aux-Phobia”
Hi
Just keep swimming. — Dory. There’s a lot we have to worry about nowadays. Bad movies. Climate change. Our moms. So we could embrace the happy things out there. Loud personalities. Colorful shoes. Good people. There are little things that make us happy and really big things that make us happy. People spend too muchContinue reading “Hi”
