In honor of Patty Mato's 25th birthday, and to get back into memoir-style writing, I wanted to share this short story with y'all. I'm hoping to do more of these to share my favorite memories with important people in my life, so be on the lookout!

At the end of my first year of college, I wrote a list of all of the things that I learned. It is buried in this blog, but I refuse to link it because it is.... not who I am now. In it, I talk about how much I loved my first year of college,… Continue reading On College, Control →

December 14, 2018 sarapequenoLeave a comment

I can list 13 things I like about myself. They sit listed out in the lined pages of my notebook, surrounded by stickers as if to distract from how few there actually are.
