I haven’t read a novel since the summer.
So Here’s my mini winter-reading list:
- The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
- Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
- One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me by Mindy Kaling (I might try to read this next week, after my last final next Wednesday)

My roommate is trying to teach me how to whistle. It’s a lost cause. Just saying.

After today, I trust that I’ll be able to maintain my old friendships and continue developing the new ones I’ve made. I think that for the most part I’ve been able to make new friendships without thinking that new friendships mean replacing my old ones. My oldest friends will continue to be dear to me, and I’ll always trust them. Yet, I enjoy spending time with my newer...

I just realized that I have my math final NEXT Saturday, which means I’ll be 19 very soon, and here I was thinking I had more time…
I’m excited, but I feel as though time is flying by. I haven’t studied for my math final yet. So I’ll probably spend time doing that on Sunday and Monday. Then I’ll spend Friday and Saturday (after my final) going over Humanities...

Thanksgiving feast:
- battled for food :p
- realized that my dad’s side of the family is super shy around non-immediate family members.
- observed guys talk about girls and mess with each other.
- talked about cases from reality shows like Hoarders and My Strange Addiction, and how it’s all a traumatic thing. For example, some lady lost her husband, kept his ashes, ate them once,...

I’ve come home a few times these past few months and I’ve always felt like it was a bit weird. I briefly catch up with my brothers and then they just become zombies for the rest of the weekend. So when they got here today I made sure to hug them and keep them talking to me for more than two minutes. It worked. We talked about their classes, family, and just random things. Things are...

- Okay, I’ve decided to make my gratitude grams into Christmas cards. I cannot finish all of these cards tonight so I’ll spend some time this thanksgiving weekend writing nice things :)
- The ARC is the best!
- These past two weeks have been a step back for my confidence. I really need to get myself together.
- He’s just being friendly.
- I can’t wait to go home.

UCI Humanities
So recently I learned that there was a proposed idea to get rid of the Chicano Latino Studies, Asian American Studies, African American Studies, Women’s Studies, and Comparative Literature programs at UCI, and maybe squeezing them into one major or just making them subcategories to majors like History.
Then I also heard that there was a proposition to get rid of the...

I think I’m going to double major in Political Science and English. I found out that most people in Poli Sci finish their major requirements in three years. I was thinking about it before but I thought that I’d end up being here for five years. Now that I know that I can most likely finish within four years, I think I’ll do it. I’ll probably declare it sometime next year...

An impromptu charades game really made my night. It’s just great to relax while I still can. I’m taking 16 units next quarter so I probably won’t have as much time to fill and have fun. So I’m trying my best to make the most out of these moments while I still have time to have them :)

I haven’t written many of my thoughts here for a while. Idk I just haven’t overanalyzed anything for some time. I’m not dwelling on regrets or doubts like I was before. I’m just trying to surround myself around the right people, stay focused, try new things, be myself, and grow. I don’t have anything big to complain about. If I did, it would probably be me complaining...

Racquetball at the arc is the best! Oh and there are SO many attractive men at the arc. We’re heading there tomorrow again :)
On a side note: I feel bad about how we ended up going to the ARC, but I do trust that things will end up okay later.

There is no better way to know how you’ve progressed than seeing people you haven’t seen in months. I went to a family member’s party and most people told me that they noticed something different about me, something good, a change. I came across as more free and assured and I feel that way. I’m more independent now than I was a little over a month ago and I just feel good....

I celebrated Dia De Los Muertos today. I’ve never celebrated it religiously or anything but it was nice to see what UCI’s MECHA did for this holiday. Friends and I danced, ate tamales, beans, and rice, embraced our latino side, and then headed over to CV’s super entertaining Comedy Night. I came to several realizations tonight. 1. I have no rhythm when it comes to dancing. I need...
