I ♡ New York

 Lately I've been thinking about what it may be like to move to ew York City. It's been happening pretty frequently for the past few years. Originally, when I was thinking of what schools to apply to , I was trying to take into account what type of area I'd like to live in. Considering the possibility of me staying in that area, probably for the rest of my life.

I felt like New York would probably be the best option for me personally as you don't need a drivers license to get around, there is snow during the winter holidays, and it is a city environment, which I am used to. The only issue that made me iffy on the decision was how expensive it would be living there, as well as the fact that I didn't know what I wanted to major in at the time. I was kind of paralyzed by the option and the potential prospects that could go wrong.

Now that I've officially made my decision of what school I'm going to, I'm sort of just left wondering what my life would be like if I had just took the chance and went to a school in or at least near New York instead. Although, I'm planning for the possibility of getting my masters in the future, so maybe then I'll make that leap of faith without completely worrying about the consequences or 'what ifs'.

All I Want for Christmas is its History!

Image
♡₊˚ 🦢・₊✧ Christmas is, personally, my favorite holiday, and with it coming up, I thought it would be nice to look into its history and how it came to be. Originally, before christianity took over the holiday; creating it into what it is known as now; it was called Yule by pagans and was known to be a celebration of the winter solstice. Although Yule has been transformed a lot over the centuries, many of the traditions  have transitioned themselves into Christmas traditions that we take part in now. Pagans would use the wood of specific trees to light a bonfire, made to ward off the darkness and welcome the return of the sun, as well as ensure warmth. This is what we now call the "Yule log". Evergreen trees were put in homes and decorated with food, runes, statues, and strips of cloth. There also may or may not have been human sacrifices for the atonement of humans and their misdeeds. After christianity became established as a religion, christians traveled to Northern Europe ...

Think Pink!!!

Image
 I am a very indecisive person. Often times, having a hard time choosing favorites of things, such as color. Even though I don't have a favorite color, I feel like there is no denying how good of a color pink is. Pink is pretty in all its shades. It can go with any other color flawlessly. On clothes, in rooms, or even with cars, pink is a beautiful and show stopping color.  Some may feel that pink is a girly, and therefore inferior color to others, but I like to think otherwise. Partly because I feel like just because you like a different color, doesn't mean you have to put down other colors. Also because it makes me upset that many things that girls grow up doing, liking, or are pushed onto them are frequently seen automatically as lesser than anything that is seen as masculine. I feel like it is also important to mention that pink used to be seen as a masculine color as it derived from red. Red being acquainted with rage, power, royalty, etc. and worn by men because of that,...

The Rape of Proserpina

Image
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧   ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ This image shows a statue created by medieval Roman artist Bernini; called The Rape of Proserpina . Based on a hymn to Demeter by Homer; A story about Demeter experiencing the loss of her daughter, Persephone, as she is taken from her by Ruler of the Underworld, Hades. Hades, tricking Persephone with a flower that she plucked from the ground making it crumble underneath her, whisks her off in his chariot, taking her to be his bride. This statue shows a point in the story where Hades captures Persephone from her in the meadow. I enjoy looking at Bernini's work, one that I like in particular is based on the myth of Apollo and Daphne. His work is quite beautiful and a lot of it often looks so realistic with all of the details that he takes into account. However, in the case of this piece of work, his attention to detail and realism, I feel, makes this statue almost scary.  Displayed on Persephone's face is sheer fear as she tries to use her hands to push H...
