Why TikTok’s Growing Dominance is Concerning

TikTok is rapidly on the rise in the social media and content creation world, and I have my qualms with it. I would like to preface this with the few things I have to say in defense of TikTok. The app makes content creation easier than ever with built-in editing…

WP4: IT’S NOT DUMB

I remember the day I took the AP English Language and Composition exam in 2019 like it was two years ago. It was argumentative essay time, and the prompt was something no one was expecting: write about something you think is overrated, and explain why. My nerd brain was about…

We Should Start a Band

The day: April 9, 2021. The time: 12:31 pm. The place: Breakout room 4. We’re talking about WP3 like good students and suddenly I’m inspired and go on a tangent. “There are so many art/music/performance majors in our class. We should start a band,” I said. …

BAD GAME DESIGN starring Heavy Rain

As my few readers may already know, I’m the #1 fan of David Cage and his game studio Quantic Dream, which produced the greatest, wokest game of all time, Detroit: Become Human (posts about it linked here and here). About a month ago I begrudgingly began playing Heavy Rain, considered…

How Detroit: Become Human lies to you (piggybacking on Rishi)

I totally thought I was done attacking David Cage and his game Detroit: Become Human on Medium, but Rishi’s post “How Should Games Teach?” (linked here) hits my biggest issue with the game right on the nail. Detroit is a story-driven game that takes place in the year 2036. It…

A musical theater kid has a think about BLACK LENS

Black Lens is really gooooood. After re-watching it I felt this huge burst of inspiration and ideas, because everything the two USC film students talk about is stuff I can understand as a musical theater person. …

The music in me: classical and jazz

Among my plethora of passions and interests, I definitely think singing is the one I’m best at. I’ve been singing since I was able to phonate. Some footage of my parents singing a duet at my uncle’s wedding shows me, cradled in my mom’s arms, babbling into the microphone and…

Art and design, a love o’ mine

I’ve loved drawing ever since I was a youngin; for the first few years of my life I expressed my artistry with pen and crayon on our walls and TV. My love for drawing SKYROCKETED once I discovered anime at the age of 7. I began doodling constantly, papers strewn…

Writing is actually fun???

These past few years I forgot that I actually LOVE to write. I think that’s because I haven’t been assigned/felt prompted to do any creative writing for a while. School kind of made me feel like writing is about being academic and formal and having correct grammar and sentence structure…
