the written word

By Kristina On March 12, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Everyday, Writing
The one thing you will find as a common thread along my reading autobiography is a penchant for choosing fantastical journeys, adventures, and magic over nearly anything else. I have read many books in my life. Many, many, many books. I would go so far as to say that I read more books in a [...]

thanks

I woke up this morning ready to leave for school. I was jolted out of sleep to the sound of my phone ringing, an unknown 800 number on the scratched screen. Missed the call by a matter of groggy seconds. I stumbled out to the kitchen. No message, so I figured it wasn’t important. Until [...]

on making lunch for an old friend

By Kristina On January 3, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Everyday, Making
Julia and I have been friends since sixth grade. For me, that is a long time. I have changed in many ways both measurable and not–I have grown older, I have grown what may be considered wiser, and I have changed my hair colour at least nine times. She has changed too–grown more solemn at times, [...]

i’ve been reading more lately

By Kristina On December 21, 2011 · 3 Comments · In Uncategorized
It’s what I do when I’m stressed beyond belief and losing touch with myself. I’m reading, I’m making Christmas presents, and I’m not studying. The work I’ve already done this semester has put me at a place where my grades aren’t in danger, and I’ve done enough. It is hard to tell myself that I [...]

from the writeup on my baking blog today

By Kristina On December 4, 2011 · 1 Comment · In Writing
This week has been a challenge for everyone involved. Nothing has been going right, the world has been collapsing, and many tears have been involved. Finals are coming up, and we’re having a rough time all across the campus with balancing everything—friends, finals, projects, group work, and the madness that goes along with a first [...]

I’m not very good at updating it. But it’s cool. It’s located at dormgourmets.com and the first post is a gluten-free chocolate hazelnut espresso torte. Check it out.

things i’ve learned at college

By Kristina On December 4, 2011 · 1 Comment · In Everyday
People are beautiful. Moments can be harsh, but they pass. Choose to surround yourself with inspring people, and remind yourself that they choose you too. When you marvel at the wonders of the world, remember to marvel at yourself. Your body will give you what you give it–so give it love. Grades don’t matter as [...]

my resume is not me

By Kristina On September 14, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Everyday
I have many marketable skills. I am talented, clever, self-driven, responsible, and ambitious. I can organize a fundraiser for hundreds of people without losing my cool, and market that same event across social media platforms. I can create multi-generational support for the causes featured and educate those who seek to teach me in turn. Nowhere [...]

how to be a good parent: advice from an eighteen year old swim instructor

By Kristina On July 24, 2011 · 3 Comments · In Everyday
1) Support your child. In swim lessons, this means you tell them they’re doing a good job when they pay attention and do their best to succeed. If they fail, that’s okay. You tell them what to work on next time, and you help encourage them by spending time helping them improve certain skills. In [...]
