It’s after 2am and I can’t fall asleep at my mother’s house – of course it’s time for a reflective blog.
I’ve got about a month left of summer, now that NYU decided to begin it’s school year a week later than usual. These next four weeks will fly by quickly with my job at the [...]

In true first day of school tradition, I cannot sleep. But for once I am not tossing and turning, predicting tomorrow or my semester. Instead I am tossing and turning because I can’t stop reviewing my workday. Living here over the summer and working a couple of jobs really altered my perspective on my “young” [...]

Thoughts about Religion at 2:50am on a Sunday morning

I dislike pigeon-holding myself to a specific religion, but I do say that “I was raised Roman Catholic.” What’s even worse, is that I was raised Roman Catholic in a Polish family and community. That’s basically a combination of Irish and Italian: poverty and excessive religious holidays. I swear to God, Polish people go to [...]

Epitome of a Pocono Native

You can facebook or myspace most people to find out what happened to them after you moved away. It’s not necceassary a good thing since you waste time maintaining a nonexistant, virtual connection. But there is a few people from New Jersey that I never encountered online (or in the past years), ironically the people [...]

I had a nightmare that I failed a class. In the dream the emotion wasn’t so much that it tainted my transcript, it was that I was forced to retake the class to fullfill the first protion of the Natural Sciences requirement.
Moving out isn’t stressful. People make it stressful by getting nasty of bins and [...]

Sex Education

While I was in 6th grade, the school district made an awkward attempt to teach us the fundamentals about sex. I was sitting in the back with Erin,* and was probably the quietest kid in the room surrounded by kids thinking they were cool for already knowing the basics. I guess I was curious from [...]

So I’m doing anything I can to procrastinate from studying political philosophy and I came across an aquaintance’s facebook. We had lunch once in September, mainly on the premise that neither of us drinks alcohol and we’re both Polish. It wasn’t unpleasant but I didn’t have the “man, I wanna keep hanging out with her” [...]

Lost in Translation

It’s four AM and it’s one of those nights where the most obscure stuff pops into my mind. I don’t know where the last hour went. I don’t even know how this train of thought came about. My best guess is that I was thinking about introducing myself in some night-daydream and I instinctively stated [...]

Life Purgatory

I am in Life Purgatory.   I can never consider myself a complete American but I’m obviously out of place in Poland. Legally, I am a Polish citizen but have not crossed the big pond in over seven years. The older I get, the more I embrace my heritage from a historical standpoint because it’s helped me understand why [...]

2008 Election and Super Bowl XLII

I’ve always wondered how people felt at the time of historical events. Did the random, common person realize that they were in the midst of a major event as it was happening? I doubt someone woke up one Tuesday morning and said, “Man, they’re going to be talking about hippies for decades.”
Lately I’ve been feeling [...]

“So what are you gonna do with your little degree?”

Ms Crowley: “So what are you gonna do with your little degree?”
Adrianna: “I don’t know. I’m only eighteen and I don’t know what the hell I wanna do with my life.” 
Ms Crowley: “I’m only 54 and I still don’t know what I wanna be when I grow up.” 

I’m at that ripe ol’ age of eighteen [...]

zutsuitriot12: you haz a wordpress? url plz

I’d like to think of myself as an excessively reflective individual, hence babbling in basically an online journal. Natalie’s wordpress has inspired me to utilize this account. As of now I’ve had about seven “hits.” I’ve got a feeling that at least six of those are mine.
I can’t complain about having about five weeks of [...]
