A blog about college, investing, cooking, psychology, saving money and general life concepts.
I got the email today. For privacy reasons, I’ve erased personal information from the acceptance letter, but I still want to share this milestone. It’s bittersweet that it arrived today, just after the recent passing of my former advisor and dear friend, who was with me on this journey from the very beginning. The path... Continue Reading →
Living with Honor, Remembering Her If you remember my Christmas post, I wrote about a dear friend of mine who had become very ill. Over the many months I have written here, I have mentioned the movie With Honors and how I could relate to it,so much so that I watch it every year as... Continue Reading →
I have always been an autodidact. It's why I am able to earn A's without reading all the material coming my way in my classes. It's helpful when you already know about a subject because you spent your free time reading about it years ago when you were delving into the said field at the... Continue Reading →
Today was my first day of fall quarter after waking up to purchase a couple of shares of Kenvue. I didn't sleep well last night because of the anticipation of knowing the fund was going to meet its target goal. This is probably why I was overwhelmed seeing all the reading assignments that need to... Continue Reading →
It's Tuesday, and fall quarter is right around the corner. Next Monday, I will be getting up at 9:30 to catch the 10:15 am bus once more, with a full schedule of classes waiting for me.

It’s made with seasonings that I purchased several months ago, a jar of Ragu chunky garden pasta for $1.99, Italian ground turkey $3.99 and a bag of frozen pepper strips and onions. For dessert, I have Reese’s cups, which cost $1.79 for a... Continue Reading →
I understand that the title might seem backward, but let me explain. Last quarter, I got straight A's, and I was excited about it. It was something I wanted to do to prove to myself that I could do it. But, what I didn't realize was that chasing a high GPA would mean sacrificing other... Continue Reading →
Summer Quarter started on June 24th, and already it's July 10th. What I call my broke or frugal college student grocery list is drastically different than it was going into Spring Quarter. As I mentioned in the Spring Quarter post, snacking was going to be a main component of my eating while adjusting to a... Continue Reading →
This blog post was supposed to be published at the start of spring quarter, April 11th to be exact, but I got busy. I wrote a bit about how I was saving money and not planning to spend much on campus. However, there was one event I couldn't miss, Dick's food truck on campus, famous... Continue Reading →
