Final Words Blog Post

Well, here we are. One semester done that included lots of writing, lots of late nights and you guessed it, lots and lots of coffee. But would I trade any of those sleepless nights for anything else? Absolutely not. Those thousands of cups of Nespresso coffee, even though they were delicious, were not really needed. […]

For my final project, I created a website that analyzes an episode of “Queer Eye: We’re in Japan” along with several other sources in order to look at the lens of Travel and Orientalism more closely. The name of the website, One Petal At A Time, is aimed at the purpose of showing people how […]

Original New Space: Yoga

I never thought I would step foot onto a yoga mat. The idea of stretching and calling it a “work-out” did not really seem accurate or appealing to me. But that was just my pre-conceived notion. I had never actually given it a chance yet. Well, that was until I heard about The Yoga Bar. […]

Original Terministic Screens

I used to think I viewed the world pretty much exactly how everybody else does. But actually, that’s not how it is at all. After leaning about Terministic Screens in class, I realized that everybody views the world differently–or through different lenses. Now, let’s say you would want to put on a pair of glasses […]
