No place like home

After about three months away at University in England, I'm finally home for Christmas. I feel like The Wizard of Oz's Dorothy when she wakes up back in Kansas. You're all here! And I'm never leaving home ever, ever again! 

Mom's Christian, Dad's Muslim, so what am I?

Every time I get into a cab, the driver will spend the duration of the ride trying to guess my heritage. And believe me, I've been guessed everything, from Italian to Chinese. 

I guess my parents are to blame for my mutt-like mix.

My friend said something interesting recently. She had just finished a year-long internship at a company in Singapore and was visiting for the summer. When we got to the subject of gap years, she told me, "I don't have time for that. If I want to settle down by the time I'm 30, I have to start building my career now."
