Drink plenty of water.
Know your limits. Don’t overdo.
Play games.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
Eat more food that is close to its natural state, and less processed or manufactured.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
Remember that…
good things happen to good people.

OMFG, HOW CAN YOU NOT REMEMBER 3 HOURS AND BENNY BENASSI AT HIS OWN CONCERT?!
Being conned by my friends to drink a random drink and then…fainting and apparently foaming at LKF, waking up and being like .. hi?
Getting on the wrong bus to go to United in the first week and getting stranded with Kathy for 30 minutes. Attempt at hitchhiking #1: failed.

Things I’ve learned from being abroad (in no...
I am blessed. I had the opportunity to do things that other twenty-year olds can only dream of. I think I stressed this a lot in most of my recent posts but that’s true. Someone once told me (yeah, okay, my little) that in the midst of stress/exams, we forget that we’re so lucky. It’s true though and it’s something I hope to continue working on. I know that if I were to pile all of my...

nervous.
I’m actually really scared to leave Hong Kong and my life here. A bit scared to return back to the States. Can you believe it’s been 6+ months now? Have no idea what to expect but also a tad anxious to go back to Penn.
I’ll write more about this later but I’ve met the most amazing people here. They’ve made my experience the experience that it is. These are people I...

What were the odds?
That’s a concept I have a lot of difficulty grasping. What were the odds that I met you that one time down that road in that one city (this is all a figurative statement, of course.)
But, in all seriousness, there are so many moments in our lives where we meet people in places where we least expect. Those people, in turn, become such important roles in our lives, shaping who we become. But...

Damn,
I’m a lot happier now than when I started college.
People talk a lot about finding yourself or growing and all that jazz in college. Quite frankly, I didn’t believe them. But, oh man, they were definitely right.
I don’t know what changed and I’m not going to spend my time analyzing the timeline of my life in college. But somewhere along the way, something happened....

Got Something On My Mind: Musings about HK →
jcjenny:
Ok for some reason I keep thinking about HK, maybe it’s because I keep seeing pics of people abroad and wishes that I was in Asia right now too….
I feel that HK is a place that you appreciate more after you leave it. There are just so many interesting places, things, food that you take for…
Should be studying but I’d rather respond to your post. <3 HK and love this...

mid-chaos
These last few days in Hong Kong have been tumultuous to say the least. I believe that HK students beat us out of being the best procrastinators. Time after time again, my peers have managed to wait until the last minute (as in, they were editing the powerpoint 5 minutes before the presentation). They also have a very different style of presenting that we do, something that I should of been...
