I had a shitty day today. I guess the stress of my grade leading up to Nov. 1st has gotten to me. Tensions are high and even if I feel good about everything, being in that environment has bled into my mood. Nonetheless, tonight before I got into bed, I sat to reflect about 3Continue reading ““I’m thinking of you” is a warm blanket”

Seasonal Allergies
I have really bad seasonal allergies. Every year, to signify the end of summer, to make the brutal transition even worse, my body reacts to the change in temperature with swollen hands and feet and heinous hives all over. Today, I felt that pain. My feet filled with some sort of fluid, making every stepContinue reading “Seasonal Allergies”
A Junior Year “Good Student”
Junior Year is hard. I filled up my schedule with rigorous classes and engaging extracurriculars that leave little time to relax. While this is the most rewarding school year I’ve experienced, it’s the toughest too. Junior year is notoriously the year that gets you into college, and these colleges are allegedly on the hunt forContinue reading “A Junior Year “Good Student””
Read with Dyl: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Out of all the books I read at camp this summer, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid was definitely my favorite. I came to camp with a bin full of books and a pre-determined order of how I would read them. This book was not in that bin or that order, but becauseContinue reading “Read with Dyl: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo”
Read with Dyl: The Woman Destroyed

Holocaust Remembrance Day
Yom HaShoah, Israel’s annual Holocaust Remembrance Day, begins on the evening of April 7th. A day where we mourn the six million lives lost, and pledge to never forget the atrocities of the Holocaust. As a descendent of Holocaust survivors, it is my duty to stand up and ensure that the Holocaust is never forgottenContinue reading “Holocaust Remembrance Day”
Travel with Dyl: Palm Beach
I’ve been in Boca Raton, Florida for the last few months and have gone to Palm Beach more than I would have ever thought. It’s the perfect place to walk around, shop and eat. The dressed-up atmosphere instantly makes you feel like you are on vacation. Here are some of my favorite things in PalmContinue reading “Travel with Dyl: Palm Beach”
Fear of Missing Out
FOMO or fear of missing out has become a new reality for me this winter. In pre-pandemic times if I went away for the weekend with my family or out to dinner on a Saturday night I wasn’t too upset about missing plans with my friends as I saw them all week and knew thatContinue reading “Fear of Missing Out”
