  • Link Party: 6/1-6/5

    Man oh man, this was an emotional week — and next week will be even worse. But here’s what I read: 1. The calligraphy stars on Instagram are some of my favorite accounts to follow. 2. Colson Whitehead brings up an incredible hyper-contemporary facet to “pics or it didn’t happen.” 3. This is a fascinating…

  • Undergrad Adventures: Student Leadership

    A special edition of Undergrad Adventures.  I’ve been really lucky that I’ve had the opportunity to hold several leadership positions in clubs and organizations during my college career. I held three positions (activities chair, treasurer and vice president) in Kellogg Honors College Club, and just ended a two-year run as the president of Cal Poly…

  • Undergrad Adventures: Reporting III

    To finish out my journalism minor, I decided to take Reporting III this quarter. This particular class is centered around how to be a beat reporter for a city, and what kinds of stories you should be looking for. You know that I’m into the arts and cultural criticism side of the business, so this was…

  • Undergrad Adventures: European Romanesque through Baroque Art

    I needed some extra units this quarter, so I decided to pick up an art history class. I definitely count art and art history as hobbies: I love going to museums, reading books about art and incorporating art into my daily life. This particular class covers Western art history from the European romanesque (early medieval)…

  • Link Party: 5/18-5/22

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. My favorite Mad Men series finale review. 2. Instagram is turning us all into sociopaths. 3. An inside look at Thought Catalog, which is a lot more terrible than I originally had thought or anticipated. 4. I gotta say, this article about online journalism is #duh. 5. I fully…

  • Culture Connoisseur: The Last Bookstore

    When you’re a literature student, you get to be quite the purveyor of used books. I think my fellow English majors who read this blog can attest that while new books from Barnes and Noble or Amazon are awesome and beautiful, used copies are preferable. They’re already loved, and now they’re in your arms for…

  • Capstone Adventures: Convocation

    You guys, I graduated from the Kellogg Honors College on Friday! My capstone project is finished! Well, that’s not entirely true. I need to send one last essay out to a publication, but I’ll tell you about that later. Tonight I wanted to talk about the experience I’ve been working towards for an entire year.…

  • Link Party: 5/11-5/15

    A few exciting things happened this week, which I’m really excited to tell you all about soon. In the meantime, here’s what I read this week: 1. Alex Herns gets a lot of emails that aren’t meant for him. 2. Will art save the future generations from radioactive waste?  3. This writer took her mom…

  • Undergrad Adventures: Black Literature in the U.S.

    I originally signed up for ENG 205, Black Literature in the U.S., for two reasons. One: I needed some extra units. Two: It’s with my capstone professor, so I was already familiar with how rigorous the class was going to be and what was to be expected. Seven weeks into the class, I can say…

  • Link Party: 5/4-5/8

    I’m very, very sorry that I’ve been MIA this week. I have to tell you, it’s been a rough quarter in terms of scheduling: I don’t get home most weeknights until 6:30 or 7 p.m., and by then my brain is mush. But I have a lot of ideas for posts next week, and things…
