So the new year has officially begun and just like everyone else, I have a ton of New Year’s Resolutions that I intend to keep. I began changing my approach on things in the latter part of last year and will continue to grow and change (albeit the world doesn’t end this year). Here is […]
Kicking myself
I know. I know. I am supposed to be writing to thin air about my oopsy daisy of a second year of college, but some small things have occurred. I tutor Biology (I know…Biology…)on Monday and Tuesday nights at one of the residential halls here at UT and we happen to have had a fire […]
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this!
Cue the exasperated sigh and tears of frustration, right? However, this is absolutely true to any situation that did not go the way you were intending or the way that you expected. [insert more general observances that have little to no value] Let me tell you this: In the last year, shit got real. Excuse […]
A talk with the dean
So I just got back from shooting this ‘Talk with the Dean’ to get more information out about the College of Natural Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin and if I do say so myself, IT WAS GREAT. Who knew that professors were once people? Let alone deans were once normal! For those […]
Simple as that.
Isolate yourself. Prioritize. Get your shit together. Kick Ass. Repeat when needed. Although, kicking ass should happen every day…just saying. –Ashley W.
What’s good for the soul

Best Father’s Day Dinner Evarrrr!
Okay, so today was obviously Father’s Day and it was great! I came home from school and hung out with mom until Dad came home on Father’s Day! Mom cooked the most delicious meals with all of our favorites: Caribbean Curry Ox Tails (they aren’t gross…TRUST ME), Rice and Peas with Coconut Milk, Cabbage, and […]
Why can’t we be friends?
Friends. Awkward beginning, I know, but then again I didn’t know how to start. Since being a college student and such, friends are becoming more and more a part of life…well, my life at least. This does make sense. After all, you are away from home now. You have to make a new “family”. However, […]
Say it ain’t so!
This cannot be happening. This cannot be happening. Yes. Why, yes. It happened. So recently I have been finding out some not so surprising news that was actually surprising. The amount of pre-meds has decreased with seniority while the disdain for pre-meds has increased. According to everyone in the universe this is essentially the normal […]
Cool new gadgets!
So my job this long and wretched Summer is to be a tutor of Math and Chemistry. The catch is, however, that I must doing this virtually. It is the age now that things can be at your fingertips wherever you are in the world. So, for work, I received this cool thing called the […]
