When You Hit the Wall, Ask “Why?”

February 23, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a comment

This past Monday, I had the honor of attending my sister’s Ph.D thesis defense. She’s been on this path since she was in college, but this hour-long talk was the culmination of six years of serious work. We’re talking late nights and weekends in the lab, lots of experimental failures, and plenty of going back … Continue reading When You Hit the Wall, Ask “Why?”

Want to Build Mental Strength? Move Your Body.

February 9, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a comment

Illustration: Moncho Massé When I started running 14, my initial motivation was ego. After trying and failing to run with my dad, I wanted to get faster and keep up with him. I ran cross country in high school, and while I decently fast, I was a total headcase. During races, it took all the … Continue reading Want to Build Mental Strength? Move Your Body.

There is Nothing Wrong With You

January 22, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a comment

Illustration: Nishant Choksi For as long as I can remember, I've possessed a Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger mentality. I never settle for where I'm at; I stay focused on where I'm going and how I can be better. But forever living in the future with your ideal, "best self" can wreak havoc on your mental … Continue reading There is Nothing Wrong With You

My Own Private Anxiety

January 19, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a comment

Illustration: Evelin Bundur I started my morning thinking about anxiety. Unlike a typical morning, where these thoughts swirl in my own brain, I was listening to Big Medium founder Josh Clark speak about the future of technology and how it impacts our lives. Centering on the theme of anxiety, he illustrated the importance of checking … Continue reading My Own Private Anxiety

Unlocking Your Keystone Habit

January 12, 2018June 25, 20191 Comment

Illustration: Denise Eliane As a driven, Type-A human,  I crave structure. I love planning my week, writing to-do lists, and generating goals.  If left to my own devices, I will impose structure on an otherwise freeform day. For me, there’s something comforting about exerting control over my time and environment. And yet, as a human, … Continue reading Unlocking Your Keystone Habit

Heather Havrilesky: “Why Am I So Lazy?”

January 9, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a comment

Photo-Illustration: Stevie Remsberg; Photos: Getty Images In light of the new year, I've reflected a lot on the stories I tell myself. It's amazing how a seemingly simple narrative can shape your perceptions of yourself and others. Since these narratives were at the forefront of my mind, this advice column hit particularly hard. The reader … Continue reading Heather Havrilesky: “Why Am I So Lazy?”

One-word Resolutions

January 5, 2018June 22, 2018Leave a comment

Image: Lauren Lee To close out 2017, I gathered with friends to celebrate the season. As the group discussed family traditions, my friend P told us about her own. Each year, her family members share their resolution for the new year. The catch? It must be summed up in one word. Some members of our … Continue reading One-word Resolutions

Roxane Gay: “I’m Really Bad at Saying No”

January 4, 2018March 13, 2018Leave a comment

I appreciate and admire Roxane Gay so much. My copy of Bad Feminist is filled with marginalia and I follow her on Twitter to keep up with her latest essays. She writes in a way that examines her subject from all sides and illustrates the complexity of situations that may seem black and white. Her … Continue reading Roxane Gay: “I’m Really Bad at Saying No”

David Hockney at the Met

December 29, 2017March 13, 2018Leave a comment

New York is currently an ice block, but with CW's mom visiting from California, we wanted to show her the town. In spite of a chilly wait, we made it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the David Hockney retrospective. To be honest, I was more familiar with his set design than his painting. … Continue reading David Hockney at the Met

Artsy: 2017 in Visual Culture

December 27, 2017March 13, 2018Leave a comment

Photo: Awol Erizku I have love for end-of-year lists, but the ones that particularly pique my interest highlight folks who pushed boundaries. With so much readily accessible visual content, who stood out? This list from Artsy falls into my love category. The 25 honorees worked with a variety of mediums, from Solange's music and choreographed … Continue reading Artsy: 2017 in Visual Culture
