My Soundtrack to Life

All this talk about school, visual art, and what not. I’ve completely abandoned my second no wait, third? No, fourth love. I don’t know. All I know is that my first post was about music and I think that I haven’t talked about music since! How could I commit such a horrible offense (given my love …

New York Street Couture

Some time last week, I watched the Bill Cunningham New York documentary and I loved it! And not soon after, I  discovered the Facebook page, Humans of New York (HONY). These two incidents sparked my dormant love for New York City and fashion. And now, I feel suddenly compelled to post about it. Let’s talk Bill Cunningham …

I can handle horror movies, but I can’t handle these.

Halloween is almost here. Although I don’t often celebrate this holiday, I still love the (“positive”) things associated with it. Candy, horror films, costumes, haunted houses, pumpkin loaf cake, and whatnot. It’s all so much FUN! But the point of this post isn’t to tell you what I love about Halloween. Or even to talk …

I Confess…

Let’s waste some more precious sleeping time! (As you might have guessed, I tend to post things late at night, early in the morning because I REALLY want to kill my health.) Today’s topic: Guilty Pleasures! As I wrote on the About Me page, I post things carefully, reflecting on how I want others perceive …

Yet Another Thing To Love

Today, I watched Howl’s Moving Castle. And just so you know, this is NOT a review. First off, I love Hayao Miyazaki. I think he’s a genius. I love his films. One of my favorites from my childhood is Kiki’s Delivery Service. I stated in an earlier post that I adore the town Kiki lives in …

Not for the Weak Hearted!

Viewer discretion is advised. If you have a weak heart, are easily frightened, or fit the description of any of those other typical warnings that come before a horror movie, do not advance forward! However, if you enjoy a good scare, as I do, please, continue reading! It’s best to read this at nighttime. So, …

Home of the Fascinating

After viewing a fellow Macaulay student’s eportfolio post on space-saving furniture, I thought it was so cool that I wanted to showcase it too! You can check out her post, here. Giving credits where they’re due. Anyways, so Space Savers. Qu’est-ce que c’est? Pretty self-explanatory. It’s furniture that transforms! And it’s gorgeous! I mean, I’m not …

In Response

I previously posted about my thoughts on Menand’s Article. Today, in English class, we discussed our thoughts on college and a liberal arts education. I wrote in my notebook that I think a liberal arts education opens our minds, helps us develop skills, and gives us a chance to discover our “true calling.” The class …

Something Beautiful

Last week, in my Arts Seminar class, we discussed “beauty.” My professor, Professor Ugoretz, gave us, the students, an assignment. We had to find something beautiful, capture it, and then upload it onto our seminar eportfolio. But there are so many beautiful things in the world! How could I possibly choose one thing?! I immediately decided …
