Update: Spring Quarter

Hello hello hello! It's been quite a minute. I really should make more use of this blog, and from now on, I'm going to try to post more consistently.

The spring quarter of my sophomore year is rapidly approaching an end, and seriously, I don't know where the time went. It's crazy but I'm basically halfway done with college (if I keep thinking about this, I may let out some tears). I'm starting to realize that this period of my life will eventually come to an end, and I will have to be more independent and start living out a life that isn't constrained by guidelines and expectations of academia. I will eventually leave this environment that I've grown accustomed to for the past two years and I will have to be responsible for myself and my actions..... Basically I'm scared to grow up.

I just turned 20 this month, which makes me feel so many feels. Seriously though, twenty is such a weird age. I'm no longer a teen, yet I'm still too young to legally drink. I've lived for two decades and I'm no longer perceived as a child, but I'm still in college doing stupid things every now and then. I feel old and within the next ten years I'll probably end up determining my occupation, make a living, fall in love, settle down and get married... AGH. I feel like my life is flashing before me.

Okay I'll stop. I'm definitely over thinking this, but it's crazy to me. I hope you can feel me on this. But yeah definitely I need to start appreciating all the experiences of my life more... and try to document it. Time seems to fly by way too fast, and I want to be able to look back and remember all those special moments, both good and bad. I invested in a higher quality camera so that when I study abroad in South Korea in the fall, I'll have the technology to better document those precious experiences I'll encounter. So here's to appreciating life, making memories, and documenting for the future!

Whole Earth Festival











I've been looking forward to the 2014 Whole Earth festival literally the day after it was over last year. It's a festival that happens on Mother's day weekend every year where artists, venders, and hippie families from all over the U.S. just congregate in the UC Davis quad, and the vibe it brings to the community is quite special. I love just browsing around, admiring people's artwork, eating decadent organic dishes, watching children run around in the sun, and seeing college kids dancing and doing crazy yoga stretches. It was a great 3-day event, and I made sure I savored every moment of it. I'm studying abroad next year, so I'm definitely sad to miss it next year, but the following year and the years after that, I hope to enjoy the festival and the peaceful vibe it seems to bring about to the city.
