Aaron. I have known Aaron since we were fourteen years old. Honestly, I can’t remember how we met exactly or what my opinion was of him. 9th grade is a bit of a blur. But, I remember when we became good friends, it was in the 12th grade. You know the long-standing debate about how…
#17 Jerky Managers
Monday nights at my serving job can be fairly dull but this Monday was not one of those days. We have a new manager. Recently, he was promoted from server to manager. Mind you, he was not the best server especially his customer service. I would love to say that he earned the promotion because…
#16 So your an English major?
So your an English major? You must be so good at English. I hear this all the time. I decided to get my Masters degree in English because my English isn't the best. I write the way I talk. I ramble and occasionally, my sentences don't make sense. I have had a few experiences where…
#15 Goals
It is such a beautiful day today. I woke up feeling sleepy but happy. My period is close. My PMS has started physically and I think it has started mentally but I am not sure. I questioned why I woke up in such a good mood. Is it my PMS? or am I really happy?…

Originally started by the creator of the website #Muslimgirl by a sixteen year girl, Amani, ten years ago. She has blown up and her site is definitely a huge part of the Muslim…
#13 Alcohol Part 1
I have been around alcoholics or people who like to get drunk but aren't necessarily alcoholics my entire life. The older men in the family, which usually consisted of my uncles and my father, would meet up and bbq in the backyard a couple of times a month. They would drink to the point where…
I have always had a weird history with friendships since I could remember. In Elementary school, a lot of my friends ditched me because of the 9/11 attacks. I remember one friend told me she didn't want to talk to me because her parents told her not to talk to Afghani people. We were in…
#11 Your Name
I re-watched YOUR NAME by Makoto Shinkai for the fourth time and it captured my heart just like it did the first time in the big screen. I am not a big anime fan but I have a few favorites. This film is filled with heart and timeless spirit about love and the beauty of…
Self love is not my favorite term. I am not sure why. I think it’s because the term likes to type cast certain types of people. I don’t know maybe I am crazy. I was at Barnes Noble in Studio City in LA and I noticed that the front of the book store has this…
It is 11pm on a Sunday night and I am sitting on my twin bed with my legs over the blanket so I can feel the cold breeze from my large windows. The breeze hits my legs and makes my toes wiggle. This has always been a sign that warmer nights will be coming soon.…
