Murphys Law Gone Right

It’s funny.  I sometimes forget that I have four years of my life documented in this blog.  From my very first post where I outlined the “really cool things about Hopkins”  to my latest post in which I described commencement and all of the goodbyes, I have loved writing about school the ups and the [...]

I am now a Johns Hopkins University graduate.  Do I feel any different?  No, not really.  I just have to practice saying “I just graduated from Hopkins”.  In time, I’ll get used to it.  After all, I just left Baltimore and began writing this blog on the tail end of my 3 day vacation at [...]

There is so little time left, I can barely think about it without becoming depressed.  So, instead of dwelling on the soon-to-be-past of “my time in college”, I figured I would spend the majority of this post looking forward to the we’re-almost-adults-future.  Basically, I just want to brag about how amazing all of my friends [...]

As intersession ends, I’m gearing up for my last semester at Hopkins.  While many of my classes are undecided, there is one that won’t change.  By taking the philosophy seminar, I will finally complete my major here at Hopkins.  I’m not planning on going to graduate school for philosophy so this could feasibly be the last class I [...]

“I cannot go to school today” said little Peggy Ann Mckay. “I have the measles and the mumps a gash, a rash, and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry. I’m going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox. And there’s one [...]

“I’m Jackie, a senior philosophy major from Connecticut.”  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve introduced myself in the past couple of weeks and stumbled across that statement in the past two weeks.  But slowly, I’ve come to accept it…and dare I say, even take pride in it?  I mean, it’s not all fun and games.  I [...]

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my life.  I must say, thinking of "life" as a static one optioned event is a bad idea.  I used to say, "what do I want to do with my life?" in reference to the next couple of hours; now, when I [...]

Dear Admitted Student, Congratulations!  The worst is over, but now for the hard part…deciding which school to attend to.  I would say I completely understand, but I don’t quite  because I applied to Hopkins early decision.  By April, all my choices were made.  Nevertheless, even though I wasn’t bombarded with information of open houses I [...]

I am very happy to announce that I have a future.  Or at the very least, I have one for this summer.  After the long and tireless application and interview process, I finally figured out what I am doing this summer. I am living in Washington DC!  I recently found out that I would be [...]

So, this week I was very busy and yet, this coming week I will be even more busy.  It’s very stressful when you have to work, go to class, do homework, look for apartments, and apply to internships all at once.  Not only did I do this, but I also went to court.  No, I [...]
