I feel like people focus too much on achieving big, great things. Major accomplishments, sky-high goals, these are the things people like hearing about. However, I feel like we should place more emphasis on the happiness of completing simple tasks. Especially when you’re in college, learning how to be an adult, trying to focus onContinue reading “The Joy of Simple Tasks”

The nostalgia may be specific to an individual, or it mayContinue reading “Ranking Comfort Foods”
Animal Jam: Revisiting Childhood
When I was a kid, my parents didn’t let us have any video games. No Xbox, no PlayStation, no GameCube- we didn’t even have smartphones. This meant that the only games I played as a kid were either at a friend’s house or, more commonly, online. Some of these were educational games that taught thingsContinue reading “Animal Jam: Revisiting Childhood”
Covid State of Mind
All the media is talking about the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, and I guess I’m going to join their ranks since it’s pretty relevant and the only thing I can think of right now.

Crowd Navigation
Some people are born for crowds. They have a natural sense of navigation, don’t mind the invasion of personal space, or just feel at home in a large group of other human beings. These people thrive in populated places such as New York City, Chicago, and your average college campus. Others, like me, feel likeContinue reading “Crowd Navigation”
Japanese Convenience Stores
Since I went to a school named the Sheridan Japanese School, I aptly learned some of the Japanese language and culture. I had some teachers who were Japanese and came from Japan, some who were Japanese-American, some who had lived in Japan at some point or another, and alternatively some who had never been toContinue reading “Japanese Convenience Stores”
Blue January Sky
I love living in the Pacific Northwest for multiple reasons. No oppressive heat, very few poisonous animals, good mid-sized cities (except for Portland), and access to almost anything you could need within a few miles of civilization. The biggest reason, however, is the beauty. I love Oregon. There’s always green somewhere. In the summer, everythingContinue reading “Blue January Sky”
