By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s back-to-school season. It’s in the air, thick, in NYC because suddenly the trains are packed, and I write this smashed up against a set of train car doors. The keedz are back. FOMO and nostalgic joy take over as we see the footage of game days around the South— college footballContinue reading “Back to School”

This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26
I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”
The One Who Learns the Most
By: Gabriela Yareliz Back-to-school season is upon us. Fall is in the air early. (Usually, NYC is at a low simmer during this time of the year). The trash is usually roasting, and us pedestrians are one shove away from landing in a boiling heap of trash bags, and surrendering because the heat has drainedContinue reading “The One Who Learns the Most”
Being Human: Look Ugly in a Photograph
“The more you see the less you know The less you find out as you go I knew much more then than I do now” City of Blinding Lights, U2 By: Gabriela Yareliz GREAT EXPECTATIONS Expectations can be a funny thing.

Following Coach Orders
By: Gabriela Yareliz Coaches, lifestyle and career coaches alike, do it. They make you say and write things. They make you act on things. They force you to visualize and strategize. There is this thing where you write out your purpose. It’s like your own personal mission statement, if you will. It’s about who youContinue reading “Following Coach Orders”
Class
“Hope we can teach our daughters that the word ‘class’ doesn’t involve flying private, wearing loboutin shoes and carrying a Kelly bag. ‘The word ‘class’ and ‘classy’ should mean what happens when you are able to be thankful, able to give and be a true friend to anybody regardless of their background and where theyContinue reading “Class”
Friday Glee: April 24, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Things are ending slowly, quickly; regardless, they are ending. Things are changing quickly, slowly; regardless, they are changing. Dreams are coming true slowly, quickly; regardless, they are coming true. These next few months will be filled with study routines, exams, airport lines, jet setting, interviews, and the beginning of a career unfolding. I’veContinue reading “Friday Glee: April 24, 2015”
Recipe to have a life
By: Gabriela Yareliz My motto: Law school (or any school or work for that matter) is a part of my life, it is not my life. I think how you live your life depends on how you think of your life and what you want for yourself. It’s a conscious decision. If you don’t makeContinue reading “Recipe to have a life”
Pencils
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s back to school, or as the French call it, la rentrée. As a kid, one of my favorite things was getting new pencils; that, Lisa Frank folders and corduroy pants. Which pencil is yours?
It is that time again
By: Gabriela Yareliz Officially, it is that time again. Time of insanity. Exam prep. We are in that precarious and weird place of final readings for class, which professors assign mercilessly (crunch time), and then trying to outline out of guilt. Currently, on laptops at the law school: When someone tells me they don’t likeContinue reading “It is that time again”
