Chromatology: Study of Color

The Decade in Culture It’s been a colorful decade in culture. Green became the new black, black became the new white, and the global economy slipped into red.

Happening Now [+]

I'm taking my Senior Capstone this summer called Creative Industries. It's a marketing design class. Our task right now is branding a Polaris, a contemporary dance center. It's a great summer project.

The summer means I have more time to hang out with my best friends. Although one of my friends is in Ireland till August, I'm having even more fun at home with Emily and Christian. All I want to do now is relax, go camping, drink, and hang out with friends. I is happy now.
