What to do in Austin, Texas?

I love going back home to Austin. It’s a fantastic city with many things to do. Although I spend most of my time with family, I occasionally have the opportunity to go to my favorite nostalgic places. If you told me you were visiting Austin right now, here are my

From photos to video diaries: how I remember the past

One challenging question I’ve always had was how to remember the past. I know that my memory isn’t the best, and when my friends and I reminisce about the good ol’ days, our accounts begin to differ. Who knows what another few years will make of our memories? We include

Thoughts after moving to New York

As I’ve finally settled into New York, I wanted to talk about the good and the bad of moving to New York. A half of a year has gone by in a blink of an eye. It was only a year ago that I thought summer internships were short… Full-time

Drawing, Thoughts

Meadow

My Ideal Backpack

Had a choice on what I could bring to school (and a lot of money), I would only need to put three things inside my backpack and it would help the environment (on going paperless, not so much on electricity). My Computer Okay,  My computer is awesome.  I can surf the
