The Real Reasons I Left My NPC Sorority
DISCLAIMER: My experiences pertain to the NPC sororities, which consist of historically White sororities. It is not about any of the MGC or NPHC sororities, which consist of multicultural and historically Black sororities, respectively.

Cooking (Messy) Dumplings at Home
Oh my word. You were not prepared to see the photo above. Don’t those dumplings look horrific? Okay, I’ll stop.

Cooking Homemade Pork Buns and Egg Drop Soup

What’s Next for Me? My Future College Plans
Over the past couple of weeks, I did what I could to campaign for SGA. I painted a huge rock, held a sign outside, posted a few flyers, and patiently waited while the voting process took place. As it turns out, that didn’t translate to a win. I ran for Freshman Senator with 7 other…

Trying Insomnia Cookies for the First Time
Okay. How lifeless can I be to write an article about eating Insomnia Cookies? Well, am I really lifeless if I’m actually writing? Regardless, I just moved into my college dorm room for the first time, and after celebrating my blog’s birthday, I wanted to commemorate it by getting cookies. It was not a long…
