<1 gram/ cm3: The density at which an object can float in water. As I gather my supplies, my one goal lingers between my thoughts: defeat density.

If you believe that little voice is only in your head it’s time to think again.

The typical insight is that […]

Have you ever been told that art’s not valuable compared to other skills? Now, what if I told you that it is of importance, so much more than you initially anticipated? What if I told you that art’s creative nature can impact numerous individuals?  That’s right; art is a powerful tool that can be used to uplift humankind.  Ideas […]

At some point, people feel pressured to be like everyone else to fit in. But why do we spend so much time trying to be like everyone else when our differences make us all unique?  The world doesn’t need duplicates; it needs individuality. When you’re the same person as the one next to you, then what’s […]

Whether you’re in-tune with the large world of art, or just know of it, art is a beautiful way of dumping pent up emotions into the world and out of your head.

11.23.24 Dear diary, I feel as if everytime life gets good, I mentally get worse. I traded my vaseline for lipstick, bike rides for a 10 pm curfew, and Minecraft YouTube videos for self-help advice. Everything around me is changing but me. I feel like my 11:11 wishes have failed me.  Yours truly, Hasini (p.s. […]

Close your eyes (metaphorically) and think back to 2nd grade science. Ice, Water, Vapor—all made up of H2O but entirely different substances. Water is everchanging, a widely accepted notion.

Have you ever been through so much coursework in one day, to the point where you started regretting all of your life decisions? If you have, you’ll know exactly what I am talking about.  It’s past midnight and you have multiple tasks to catch up on. What do you even do? Give up and hope […]

Sometimes it feels like it’s too much. Like I’m swimming for hours without a chance to truly breathe. Like I’m drowning. Like if I did something right for once, I would be okay. Like I ‘m never enough.  I mean what’s so special about me?  Yes, I ‘m taking 5 APs and 1 DE this […]
