rebel life
Went to Columbia with Jeff and Matt, ended up crashing the Columbia Spring Career Fair.
They were checking Columbia IDs at the front, so we pretended we were employers at the back, and took the elevator down to avoid the 2nd check point. We ended up trolling and dropping the “Hey… I don’t actually go here..” bomb more than talking to people.
WE’RE SO COOLLL.

312 241 math math math math engineering
I withdrew from Math 312 (Yes! Withdrew! Black mark of shame upon my transcript! Arghhhh) last semester because I just could. not. get. it. Decided to take it again this semester, with much goading and pleading from outside parties, and now it’s one of my favorite classes….
Shit finally makes sense now.
I kinda want to retake 241 just because I BS-ed my way through it last time, and...

jittery
I can’t tell if I’ve been sitting still for way too long or I’m super anticipatory or I’ve somehow ingested like three caffeine pills without realizing. I also keep thinking that I can hear people knocking on my door, so I keep running into the hallway and looking around. I have SO MUCH EXCESS ENERGY. Even typing this Tumblr entry is slightly difficult as I keep spazzing...

[Commencing quarter-life crisis v2. ]
I have such bad indigestion right now… and I think I’ve eaten out for every meal in the past 48 hours. x__x For crying out loud, friends make you fat. What did I use to do when I hung out with friends that didn’t involve grabbing a meal?
*whinewhinewhine*
I really don’t want to study for exams and I have a broken laptop so I...

family albums
[found this in my drafts, from 1/3. finished today.]
I found myself getting extremely emotional out of no where while flipping through old family albums earlier last night. I was just trying to find a funny picture of myself running around with butt-less pants when I was a baby. I had expected to laugh at myself and marvel at the fact that I was such an adorable baby (I would kidnap myself. Just...

Today, I finally got lab results back for my genetic testing. And it turns out I have a single autosomal dominant mutuation of a T to C on the GCK gene. No more diabetes treatments!
Annnnd it’s official! I’m a mutant! :D
Wait, no. I think I am more devolved than the average human… considering my basic cell metabolism proteins don’t work right. ಠ_ಠ (It’s okay,...

Priorities
Jfan’s post made me go back and dig through my old journals. Found this gem:
Questions to ask about Penn:
1. Greek Life: is there any pressure to join?
2. Penn has a rep as being a party school - if I’m not into that, am I okay?
…
Seriously… major concerns #1 and #2. ಠ_ಠ
Fact: I was am socially awkward.

2012
I’m walking away from 2011 with greater clarity, a better work ethic, and renewed motivation. It hasn’t been without its setbacks though, and because it took so long for me to figure out what I want, I think I’m a little behind in some aspects compared to others. But, in the end, I’m determined to spend less energy on trying to compare myself to others, or trying to compete...

Christmas Morning Conversation
Dad: 你知道我特想吃啥吗？天津嘎巴菜。我在天津住了七年，有太多好吃的东西南边都没有。哎，你们喜欢吃驴打滚吗？
Mom: 好几年没吃了。。。 还记得咱么在Queens住时，法拉盛有个小店专门买天津小吃吗？
Dad: 还有那老豆腐脑。。。
Mom: 那儿的煎饼果子也挺好的！
Dad: ....走！
End: Drove all the way to Flushing to eat Tianjin street food on Christmas. Nomnomnom.

αΚΔΦ: Upenn Theta Chapter: Reflection from 2011... →
upennakdphi:
As my term comes to a close, and as I reflect on the amazing accomplishments we have had this past year, I am overcome with so many emotions –many I cannot even begin to describe. We have a tendency to execute, execute, execute and move forward, but that often leads us to…
It’s rare that we find the time to stop and reflect on all the progress we’ve made...

flashbacks
I can’t have my iTunes on shuffle anymore because listening to my old music makes me extremely unsettled inside. Apparently, scent is the strongest sense associated to memories, but there’s no aroma that’s been able to compare to that jolting sensation that I get when A7X or The Rasmus or H.I.M. or any of the beautifully angry music I listened to as an angsty preteen/teen comes...

8 fears
Failure. I’m getting better at this though - It’s a matter of realizing that just trying and putting yourself out there raises your chance of success! :)
Not being happy. [I refuse to be a cubicle monkey]
Being tickled.
Losing people.
My overactive imagination in the dark.
Having kids and not being able to tell them stories about the adventures I had before I had them.
This is...

The Cave of Two Lovers
They met on top of the mountain that divided their two villages
Their villages were enemies, so they could not be together
But their love was strong, and they found a way.
The Two Lovers learned earthbending from the badger moles. They became the first earth benders.
They built elaborate tunnels so they could meet secretly. Anyone who followed them would be lost forever in the...

nine loves
Sunny days. Living in Philadelphia has really made me appreciate good weather more.
Happening to wake up early and discovering all the potential a single day holds.
Working with my hands: Baking (omnomnomnom), drawing, sewing, building that robot for POE back in sophomore year of highschool out of popsicle sticks and PVC pipe, MacGyver-ing
That moment when you’re walking by yourself, the...

Changing companies’ minds about women →
All too often in our experience, executives perceive women as a greater risk for senior positions, fail to give women tough feedback that would help them grow, or hesitate to offer working mothers opportunities that come with more travel and stress. Not surprisingly, a survey we conducted earlier this year indicated that although a majority of women who make it to senior roles have a real desire...
