A Review of Online Roommate Hunting

I am currently mooching off of my older brother and living in a spare bedroom. It makes no sense to look for jobs on the mainland (AKA: the continental US) while living with my parents back in Hawaii. I have been on the hunt for an apartment closer to NYC where there's a better job …

#tbt Review of “Twilight”

The post-grad life is fun because I have found myself making lists, panicking about finding a job, and venting to my parents about anything and everything. I hate not having a job because I like to keep busy. In the last two months, I have heard several people tell me several times that I need …

Trying to be Cruelty-Free

It's hard to be female. Beyond the obvious reasons why it's hard such as periods and childbirth, there is the hardest part: beauty standards. I could go on and on about how males have created the standards for women... But I'll save that for another post. Right now, I'm just focusing on the fact that …

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” Made Me Want To Watch “Sex And The City”

I'm catching up on a lot of television that I missed while I was in college with no cable, no access someone else's Hulu account, and no time. One of those shows includes Brooklyn Nine-Nine. A great cop-comedy show that is similar to the one camera style of Parks and Recreation and The Office. It is also similar …

Spiderman Homecoming: The New Teen Comedy

Let me just preface this blog post to let you know that I'm not familiar with the comic book storyline of Spiderman. I only know the basics and I know a little bit from the cartoon. I also try my best not to include spoilers! Last night, I saw Spiderman Homecoming and I was pleasantly surprised. …

The Existential Crisis – Part 1: Post-Grad Blues

I'm writing this post knowing that I will probably go through another existential crisis in the near future. Also, I wrote this post 10 minutes after I stopped crying as I searched for more jobs and sent panicked texts to my parents, boyfriend, and friend from home. I was raised to be a hard worker. …

Playing “Truth or Dare?” with the Internet

The Internet is amazing. I remember first using the Internet in middle school to do research on a computer! No library and no books. This concept would eventually backstab me because I hated reading things off of the screen because I love tangible copies. Anyway, there are so many things to find on the Internet. …

I’m Happy I Got Three More Rejection Letters (No, I’m Not Being Sarcastic)

As previously mentioned in a different blog post, I'm looking for a job. Preferably in the publishing industry but I'm looking into more options, too. But I'm not here to talk about "more options." I'm here to talk about how out of the 20+ jobs I've applied for, I got three more rejection letters or …

Hawaii Five-0? Hawaii Five-NO.

As a Hawaii girl, I love "Hawaii Five-0." My dad and I used to watch re-runs of the original and I was pretty hooked for the first few seasons of the reboot. I started to lose track of episodes because I did not have cable television in my dorm room. So I ended up taking …
