Divija's experiences with Crafts, Art, Travel and other random things…
Halfway done! I have alot of mixed feelings about this - as a junior I get to take a lot more cool classes, I have a better idea of the things I can do, and more importantly, the things I can't or aren't worth it. I have a lovely group of people I hang out... Continue Reading →
I really wish I were more consistent about posting here, but I wanted to pop back in with an update on what’s been going on. This semester has been incredibly busy.

You'd think that these phones would be ancient given that they had physical key pads and a non-touch screens. But apparently not. These phones are younger than me. This time however, instead of smashing the electronics with... Continue Reading →

"[....] So, if you’re an artist, don’t wait until you become a full-time artist to make art. If you’re a writer, start writing. If you are a singer, start singing.
