Making Me Proud

I graduate soon. Job prospects had me crashing out but I'm trying to be more mellow the next 2 weeks. Really ending with a bang bb.

another day another job update + summer is here and I'm out in the streeetz.

It's interview season & i'm stressing out.

It's spring break! I had a change of plans. I have a short term crush. Also, let's bring back having a crush on someone. It's a lost art form.

It has been a travel heavy few weeks my homies. I've had some new realizations and maybe a plan or plans for after I graduate.

yo yo yo! 2025 is almost over so wanted to share what this year has meant for me. My lifelong dream came true, I won a mysterious $10,000 and just spent Christmas with my best friend in Canada watching tv. What a life!

I think the title explains this pretty well. I've missed you all xoxo

Wassup homies! This new school year hit me like a ton of bricks. New existential crises unlocked. Let's catch up on the latest episode of Making Me Proud.

yo yo yo! I'm about to have my last 1st day of school. I'm trying to have healthy coping mechanisms this year but the job hunt & my loans are very much occupying much of my brain space.

Hello, my homies! I've been very happy over the past seven weeks. I can't lie. I needed to commemorate this time since my brother went out for a DJ gig. teehee.

Life update. Went to France, heading to summer internship and making a pit stop in Indiana because why not?

yo yo yo, it's been 2 whole months since my last episode. Much has happened, much has stayed the same. But we have grown nonetheless. It's been a long and somehow also very short school year and I can't believe that I am also halfway done.

Change of plans. In a random turn of events, I'm achieving a lifelong dream. Many wins in this episode! I'm extremely grateful and still very stunned.

I'm in a much better place than last episode. Thank you for the kind comments and luv. Happy Valentine's day to all of you listeners and to all the people I luv deeply in this life. kiss kiss to you all <3
