39|Where's Waldo?

"I don't see Waldo inside." "That's because Waldo just parked." I never fit in. Fit in clothes, shoes, school, parties, or a whole lot of much. So, when sharing my dietary habits and whether or not I consumed honey --more or less, me bluntly stating I do not consume honey --I found out that I do not fit in with the surrounding vegan populous.  My initial argument for not eating honey was that it is just as unsustainable as eating meat because the bee population is declining. This did not stick long. Bees do not produce an excess of natural gas and instead pollinate a variety of plants. As a matter of fact, different species of bees make up 61% of all plant pollinators with almost half of that coming from honeybees alone.  Woah, so, wouldn't it make sense to demand more honey to encourage bee farms? Same question always stands with meat, if my honey is sustainably sourced and cruelty free, is it still safe honey? To this, I started to rambl...

48.77|Billions in Dollars

I am God, are you? For those of you who know me personally, I am very passionate about what I sink my teeth into but I often times do not have a very strong grip. I have currently taken on the task to clarify my level of sanity and take pride in the answers given. As of right now, I have been labelled as insane but quite frankly, I would rather be insane and fighting a cuase than average but socially sane.  How do you define sanity? I like to challenge the idea of perception. If everyone was to jump off a cliff, would you? No, because that's stupid and you know better so unless you were being chased by zombies or had a parachute, you would not subject yourself to iminate death. Yet, we as a society subject ourselves and our planet to the slowest and most painful death.  Recently, I haven't been feeling very passionate. I have been working a lot and studying even more but through and through, I always keep a goal in mind.  I want to change the world. ...

87|Mercury

Entrall : Impatient I believe the sentiments between love and death should be relatively just as exacerbating. Every last minute drifting closer to death and further from your loved one should be a futile battle to beat time. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and only takes 87.7 Earth days to complete a revolution. A whole year is equivalent to a summer semester at my university. And honestly, sometimes it feels like every semester lasts an eternity --or at least a year. Mercury, surprisingly, has longer days. Each day on Mercury is equivalent to anywhere between 59 and 179 days on Earth, meaning you can have a case of the Monday's for a whole dissertation preparation period or even the whole season of football. This is mainly due to the shape of Mercury's orbital and the gravitational pull the Sun has on the planet. Despite being rocky, beaten, and wrinkly, Mercury has recently become one of my most favorite planets. Let's start with the lack luster exterior....

I thought I knew what I was doing. No. I really thought I had a plan. But then, things happen and people change. So, no, I do not have a plan anymore. I have a lot of explaining to do. I mainly have a lot of clarification and affirmation I need to justify to myself because who are we if not egotists?  I would like to start with something very simple though before I lose you in my rabbit hole. I deleted my social media because I needed to focus on myself more. Instead of keeping up with everyone else's focus, I applied myself more in school and work. So now I am so proud of where I have gotten. I am a teaching assistant for honors general chemistry with a group of brilliantly charming and bright students, who lighten my day every lab. I am a learning assistant for an organic chemistry class that I live tweet during so my students can get an #AwithAna. But, most importantly, I am an undergraduate research assistant for a Whitebark Pine lab with the efforts of c...
