twenty seventeen

December 31, 2017

Over the course of 2017, I listed out a handful of goals to accomplish each month in my planner. After the month was over, I would put either a :) if I got it done, a :( if I didn’t get it done, or a :| face if I sort of got it done. I’m a checklist...

fall concerts roundup

November 19, 2017

My first concert was when I was 14. It was in a Macy’s parking lot and I went with my cousin, mom and sister to see Ashley Tisdale perform 3 songs off of her then new album, Headstrong. Since then, I have lost count of how many shows I’ve been...

twenty four

November 12, 2017

Today I turn twenty five (25) years old. A quarter of a century. The thought of it is extremely scary and daunting. It just sounds like such an old age? Like, when did I get here? How did it happen this fast? Why is my life passing by so quickly?...

seven important tips for all job interviews

October 15, 2017

It’s funny that I’m even attempting to write this when I, myself, don’t have any clue as to what I’m doing regarding most things in life. I sort of fake it till I make it through almost everything and somehow it works. However, after the number...

from my ears to yours: vol. 1

October 8, 2017

Currently, my obsession is making Spotify playlists. I tend to be a little extra by titling them, creating cute covers, and blurbs to describe the songs. A lot of work goes into picking the songs and their arrangement as well. I like having a perfectly...

post grad blues

October 1, 2017

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post on graduating college and moving forward with my life. In that post, I talked about how I wasn’t really sure what I was going to be doing after graduation. There was talk of grad schools and jobs and possible...

note to self: vol. 1

July 30, 2017

Yearning for change, but not doing anything to make it happen, won’t actually make anything change. Stop measuring your own success to others. Everyone is on different journeys. (Thanks, AP!) Don’t feel guilty for allowing yourself to take...

be kind. always.

May 28, 2017

A little over a month ago, I wrote a piece for Teen Vogue about a Norwegian show called Skam. My article focused on the current season’s centric character, Sana, and how important she is for young Muslim women in this day and age. I am really proud...
