Late Night Thoughts

I have always felt that my life has been nothing short of uneventful. I went day by day thinking that nothing was ever going to change. I felt so small and insignificant. I was only doing what seemed to be expected of me but nothing more in order to avoid problems. And I remember starting high...

Gerome & Lily

Gerome: Tis it a fair day Lily: Tis it fine Gerome: I wonder how the sky is on the other side Lily: Where? Gerome: To where the lake falls beneath the sea. To where the sun awakes and sings. To where the flowers cascade through the open basin. Lily: The words of which you speak what...

A Certain Type Of Stupidity

Have you ever had a crippling embarrassment over being incapable of possessing the same skills as others? Recently, I went to a college day that my art program was holding.

A letter...

 Dear Enigma, Time is short; I know this trite statement seems laughable to you because of its obvious truth. However these three simple words have never been more eminent before.

Two Shades Of Homecoming

Homecoming was both a disappoint and an actual treat; why this contradiction you might ask. Well homecoming is split into two events: the football game and the dance. In my opinion, the football game was a disappointment and the dance was a treat (for most of the time). To fully understand my position...

San Diego

I recently went on a trip to the sub-Californian city of San Diego; the purpose of the trip was to visit the universities of San Diego State and UC San Diego. Before I talk about the universities themselves, I would like to talk about the way to San Diego. There is only one word that describes the...
