I am better than I was, I will be better than I am.

I started this little blog over two years ago the summer before my senior year. I have almost a sort of fondness for my old posts, seeing the life and times of high school me. I'm glad that I will have a happy nostalgia for my high school years and time spent growing up in the best town ever, South Brunswick. College has been completely out of my comfort zone but I truly feel that my overall college experience is preparing me to do well in the real world.

Studying abroad in Shanghai is definitely very difficult. The culture shock, language barriers, new environment, new people. It's hard right now but I am glad I'm doing it.

Treat yourself like a plant and let yourself grow.

Partying at the Met.

Yesterday I went with my friend Tiff to a party at the Met! We had fancy lychee drinks, mini pork buns and color chips while viewing some of the exhibits focusing on Asian art and taking silly pictures in the photobooth.

The bittersweet between my teeth, trying to find the inbetween.

Going through my old starred songs on Spotify brings back waves of memories of specific moments. When I think of my first starred songs, I imagine running during cross country season on a path immersed with sunlight and sitting at a booth in Panera doing practice SAT tests. Others remind me of playing cards by candlelight with my family during Hurricane Sandy. Some remind me of sitting in my bed in the dark moping over a boy. There are some that remind me of car rides to anywhere.

Lately I've been having a hard time with existing, but not in a suicidal way. I just feel empty.
