Just Dance

Shared on June 5, 2020 via Instagram

Four years ago, my mother gifted me a mantra band on the day I graduated high school. I put it on right away and have not taken it off of my right arm ever since. The golden color fades into my skin and as such, has not drawn much attention to itself. (The few times it did, some thought it was a medical band!) It’s super worn and scratched. It’s really not meant for daily wear especially for someone with an active lifestyle like me. But the bold black letters stand out still strong, and are a constant reminder of the girl I once was for the first 18 years of my life. But every so often, I hear a fun song or a great beat and I can’t help myself but get lost in the music. It’s is one of the simplest joys in life, and it has helped me through a lot of challenges these past four years. JUST DANCE 💕

I am originally from Long Island, New York. Now, I live and work in D.C. at as an acoustic consultant. I graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. with my bachelors of mechanical engineering in May of 2020. I love living in D.C. because it is smaller than New York City (where I basically grew up), so it was easy to get around. There is always something fun to do all day, every day. I have a few blog posts up about my time at Catholic University, and I plan to write a lot more! If there is one thing that you remember from reading this, it should be that I love spending quality time with friends and family. They are my support system, and I would not be the woman I am today without each and every one of them. Simply put, they mean the world to me. I am also a faithful Catholic and have a passion for music and art. I play the piano, guitar, ukulele, kalimba, and I sing! When I started this blog, I was back in New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shutdown of my campus. My sister and I published a few episodes of our podcast called The Chirp at the beginning of the summer, but when we both started working, it become difficult to manage. I started this blog in August of 2020 because I was looking for a new recreational project that would stick. So, here’s to a new start!
