A few months ago, I went to New York City. Why? Well, for the libraries and bookstores, of course. I not only got to see the Books are Magic bookstore and take a pic in front of the famous mural, but I also made a pit stop at the New York Public Library. Which is […]
As a semi-professional bookworm, I consider it my most important duty to visit independent bookstores across the country. So, when I landed in Los Angeles, CA, I looked up some of the best bookstores in the city — and I found a true bookworm treasure: The Last Bookstore in Downtown LA. It’s perfect for used […]
You may remember that I was in Australia over the summer. And I have to say, looking back at my photos still gives me post-travel depression. To combat my FOMO from everything Oz, I thought I’d share a few of my Melbourne favorites. These are the things you definitely won’t want to miss if you […]
Wow. Time flies when you are on exchange. I’m sitting in the library while I’m writing this, simultaneously working on my final papers, studying for an exam, and procrastinating. And all I can think of is that I am leaving Alaska so soon. Like in four days. I’m so excited to go home and see […]

Last week, I was studying in the housing lodge near my apartment when I got distracted by screaming. I looked up and saw a crowd of people running up the walkway, yelling indecipherable words, causing a whole lot of hubbub. I thought to cause that much excitement, there must be something really cool going on–that […]
Oh, yeah, I’m in Australia. Did I forget to tell you? I actually still can’t believe it myself. When summer was suddenly upon me and I found I really didn’t have any plans to hold me down, I decided it was time to do something crazy. So I did. Somehow, someone suggested the idea of […]
Big announcement time! I, a content resident of the southeastern United States, have decided to take on the Alaskan wild for the fall semester.
