As an Asian-American woman, I don’t know what’s worse: often feeling overlooked, or being stereotyped to be “shy” or “timid.” These inspiring Asian womxn in today’s music effectively defy these notions through demanding attention to their music, which is often raw, honest, and more often than not loud.

As fast fashion/cheap clothes take over the fashion world, thrift shop finds are a must to add to your closet to expand your style. From the ripe age of nine, I remember spending Saturday afternoons with my mother as we had mini shopping sprees to a plethora of stores including my personal favorite, our local thrift store. Little did I know how beneficial and useful thrift store shopping could be- not only to my developing sense of style but to our environment. And I’m not the only one with a l

I invested in some classic vacuum bags and packing cubes to condense and separate my clothing. Each cube/bag was divided by clothing type, and they fit perfectly into my luggage. This really helped me get everything I wa

My favorite and most memorable films always end up having a doomed romance. I realized this after finishing yet another melancholic romance movie that left me teary eyed and pondering over the ending.

I spent years working in the food service industry, and getting sick time was pretty much equivalent to climbing Mount Everest. So when I landed my first professional job with an unlimited sick and vacation time policy, I was stoked I wouldn’t have to stress about being sick anymore. Much to my dismay, after a few months on the job, I realized my manager pressured everyone to work while sick, even with the “unlimited” policy. Whenever I called in, they would pry about the details of my illness a

Us was unlike any other modern horror we've seen. Fir
