Be Pro, Not Anti

September 18, 2017September 12, 2017Leave a comment

I started to title this post "Nobody Cares What You Hate", then decided to scrap it because it would completely negate my point. I still think it's catchy though. Anyway, the internet has basically become a free for all when it comes to people's opinions. And whether it's due to a natural cognitive bias, or … Continue reading Be Pro, Not Anti

Bills, Bills, Bills

July 3, 2017Leave a comment

False equivalencies irk me. I try my best to ignore clickbait and purposely inflammatory social media posts, but every so often one gets to me enough that I have to pull out my soapbox. This is one of those times. You've been warned! It's hard to fit nuance into a Facebook status, but this one … Continue reading Bills, Bills, Bills

I love seeing pictures of my of my aunt … Continue reading Get off my (digital) lawn!

The analyview returns! I got a free copy of Dr. Richard Banks' book, Is Marriage for White People from the professor who advises the BLSA group at Orange Law. It was a good read and surprisingly easy to get through; despite my impending finals, I managed to get through in just a few hours. Thesis … Continue reading Is Marriage for White People?

Out of Sync

October 12, 2011March 23, 2020Leave a comment

I feel like I'm destined to live my life in reverse order of everyone else. I've been a big fan of astrology since I was younger. I put no stock in horoscopes--I believe that psychics exists but I don't believe that anyone can predict a person's day to day life based on his or her … Continue reading Out of Sync
