By: Gabriela Yareliz I met a beautiful, elderly lady on the train today. Some dancers were performing to Justin Bieber’s song, “What do you mean?” We exchanged smiles. She then took my face in her hands before getting off of the train, and she said to me, “Merry Christmas. Be good. And darling, don’t forgetContinue reading “Friday Glee: December 11, 2015”

This Week’s Theme
By: Gabriela Yareliz Life and its weird, stressful situations and out-of-control chaos can make you feel trapped.

The Hutchcast (2015) By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a new week, and you can accomplish anything. This past weekend was a refreshing time with family and friends. I hope you ate yummy food like I did.

“Adulting”
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Adulting,” that is what Feliz calls the act and state if being an adult.

I had no phone or watch because I was on my way to take an exam that banned phones orContinue reading “How the Sequel Began: Part I”
The Sequel Begins
By: Gabriela Yareliz Changes are interesting, and they are particularly interesting when they are a more “permanent” kind of change. This summer was great (I have so many photos and insights to share post-bar exam; I promise, it’s coming soon). Summer is about to conclude with the bar exam. I still think of the yearContinue reading “The Sequel Begins”
