The Story of The Moon

November 10, 2019November 10, 2019 sarapequenoLeave a comment

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! I have a confession, one that may not be… Continue reading The Story of The Moon →

On College, Control

May 1, 2019May 1, 2019 sarapequenoLeave a comment

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 →

What I like about me

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. Four are physical traits (two of them are my eyes, with and without makeup). Two are arbitrary - the way I write… Continue reading What I like about me →

Writer’s Block

November 23, 2018 sarapequenoLeave a comment

Alright Sara. You can do this. Just write. Just type it out. Just put what you're feeling onto paper. Just get started. You can do that, right? Just write. Just start something. The thought buzzes at the front of my head, trying to get me to do something. Anything. Schoolwork, short stories, schoolwork, an article,… Continue reading Writer’s Block →

Freedom in Forgiving Yourself

November 22, 2017November 22, 2017 sarapequenoLeave a comment

I take the term "dance like nobody's watching" seriously. I used to dance around my lime green bedroom so much that trinkets on my bookshelves would rattle and the furniture would shift. In high school, I flailed my arms in the aisles at camp during "energizers" with sheer recklessness. At college parties, I jump up… Continue reading Freedom in Forgiving Yourself →

On Uniqueness

November 12, 2017November 12, 2017 sarapequenoLeave a comment

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." This is a quote by Dr. Seuss, one that I'm sure was my Facebook status at some point in 8th grade. The sentiments are well-meaning: you are unique, an individual. You are the only person that… Continue reading On Uniqueness →

You Do You

Hey guys. I know, I know, it's been a while. In case you missed it, I'm taking a little break from my blog to really focus on my articles for the Tab (which, by the way, has been a really great experience.

Miss Independent

May 27, 2016May 27, 2016 sarapequenoLeave a comment

There are three lessons I have begun learning recently, that I know are changing me for the better. The first: the world is full of surprises. The second: independence is easier said than done. The third: everything will work itself out in the end. Spring semester, I didn't really know what I was going to be doing… Continue reading Miss Independent →

Sorority Girls

May 15, 2016May 16, 2016 sarapequenoLeave a comment

Sorority girls are superficial. Sorority girls are arrogant. Sorority girls are promiscuous. Sorority girls are bitchy. Sorority girls are dumb. Sorority girls are partiers. Sorority girls are slackers. Sorority girls are not the women that we would want our daughters to grow up to be. This is what our television, our websites, and sometimes even our… Continue reading Sorority Girls →
