Enjoying my graduation celebration vacation with my best friend in Waikiki 🌈

Too many pictures to choose from.

Emotions have been up and down this holiday season. I opened up a cup of tea and this was the message I received ❤️.

I am completely enjoying the family love this week.

#funfact This mug is easily 15+ years old and you can barely see the design it originally had. 😂

Here I am at the UN Headquarters with a colleague, classmate, and friend. I'm so delighted she asked me to come along! EcoDrive is working hard towards building & promoting sustainability into all aspects of life. ❤️ #sustainability #design #transportation #cleanenergy #green #greenliving #environment #climatechange #makechange

After many hours of editing, typing, and rearranging I've exhausted this draft of my thesis and have to wait until I print a new copy out at the library tomorrow.

I hope all of you are having a great weekend!!! :)

Hacking away at the thesis 💪🏼💻💡📚📝🖊📖✔️

I'm thoroughly enjoying this book. I also had a well-thought & lengthy post about it - then the app crashed on me & I feel lazy... so, yea.

But this quote of hers really stuck out to me while reflecting on past experiences I have had. (And I have come to realize I never fully battled.)

We must fight the hatred and build a stronger, resilient, healthy, and morally & ethically just future for our country and world. #love #lovetrumpshate #lovewillprevail #resilient #strength #overthis

So glad this shadow box frame arrived to frame the quote my landlady, roommate, and friend provided me with! ❤️😊

"But this did not mean that one could be complacent, for the second idea was of equal power: that one must never, in one's own life, accept these injustices as commonplace, but must fight them with all one's strength."

^this is part of a bigger quote that my landlady, roommate, and friend provided to me and it hits home - especially involving members of the student body I was otherwise convinced was respectful, against hatred, and kind. #overthis

Happy Saturday!!! While my best friend, @BookishFeminist is enjoying #BRLive I will be working on my thesis/capstone/paper of publishable quality/ whatever other derivative of a thesis you'd like to call it.

My focus is a case study on 2 complexes in the Bronx incorporating green infrastructure, technology, & ideologies into (real) affordable housing &the scalability & replicability in #NYC with a tone of addressing #environmentaljustice

I thought this was an incredible read detailing how truly connected all aspects of life are. People often overlook how much of an impact their daily lives, action, or behaviors will have on the future of the environment.

Climate change is real. Habitat destruction is real. Extinction is real. We are wiping out more species every day than we will ever know. It's why combatting #climatechange is so imperative and crucial for the planet! 🌏

Just found out with the @BookishFeminist that the author was a former tenant in the room I live in!!! He lived in this room during the AIDS crisis of the 80's. On perspective, if he could overcome that and come out on the brighter side of life, so can we!!! #lgbt #culture #gayculture #potential #fightthegoodfight
