A New Yorker In DC: A Weekend Away

A New Yorker In DC: A Weekend Away
Cina Nguyen

So last week I finally had my long awaited and much needed vacation from life, Denny's and New York. I was so excited to get out of the state for a bit and have a change of scenery as well as see my Grandma, Aunt, and DC babies.

While I spent a good portion of my time off relaxing, I also spent a good portion of it rebooting my body and getting my health in order. I ran, did sit-ups, as well as drink my trusty 310 nutrition shakes and Flat Tummy Tea to keep me on track, in addition to just eating better and paying attention to what I ate.

Now you may ask, if I'm on vacation why would I worry about eating right and exercising? I should be drinking champagne every night with strawberries on my tits sucking on a buttered lobster tail! And I did, but when else would I really have the time to focus on my body and health? However, there was another reason, that upcoming Sunday I would be having a photoshoot with iconic DC Native Photographer Cina! A truly talented photographer who knew my aesthetic very well! I was so excited when she said she had time to shoot me before her shoot with Cherry Glazer, like what a legend! Honestly, truly. So, naturally for the shoot I had to look and feel my best.

The Photoshoot went Amazing! She was focused and very easy to work with. I watched in awe as she effortlessly directed me and created art. I had a feeling the photos would be amazing but nothing compared to when I actually saw them. She had captured my essence perfectly! Even though I didn't have my signature green locks or some other funky color, I still felt and looked myself. It was amazing! I couldn't believe someone could capture my essence so perfectly. Cina's work with me had affirmed what I already knew to be true, and that is that she's got talent!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
