		<title>Ithaca</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first came across Cavafy&#8217;s Ithaca, it did not strike me as something that would be nearly as significant as it is to me today. Aditya first recited the translated poem by heart, and I was definitely intrigued by its meaning and possibility. Over the course of several months, especially during application season and through this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pack-Rat Syndrome Continues. Or Perhaps, Letting Go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been five years since I wrote about being a pack rat, yet I still confess that the syndrome exists. As I am preparing for my move to New York, I once again face the process of sorting through things that I have accumulated over several years. Generally speaking, I actually welcome the clean-up [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the edge of my seat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In recent months, someone observed that I constantly sit on the edge of my seat, literally, and possibly metaphorically too. There is a bit of truth to this observation. &#8220;&#8230;Selina, sit back and relax.&#8221; &#8212; I sat intently on the edge of the sofa, conversing like normal. [Oh, I need to relax. Right.] The partial [...]]]></description>

		<title>Origin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days, the question of &#8220;where are you from?&#8221; not only applies to people, but also food. The importance of knowing where your food is from is not just for the sake of trivia or building our personal library of useless facts. Since most of us are so far removed from the complicated food system [...]]]></description>

		<title>The mouse that keeps on living</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On January 3, 2005, I received a computer mouse from IT to go along with my first company laptop. I call it Microsoft Optical Mouse Version 1.0 because I cannot remember whether there is any other more basic model than this one: This model was probably one of the first upgrades from the old mechanical [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello, smoke stacks in Indiana!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A glimpse of a partially frozen Lake Michigan, [insert cloud type] clouds, and smoke stacks from Gary, Indiana. My knowledge of cloud types is next to none, so let me know if you know what type these are!]]></description>

		<title>Bags, bags, and more bags</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Issue There are many things that you cannot avoid in life, and one of those things happens to be the plastic bag. Plastic bags are so prevalent in our lives that everything we buy contains a form of it whether we like it or not. The obvious ones are of course plastic bags from [...]]]></description>

		<title>A nice blend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this innovative arrangement by Jon Schmidt. The songs come from two very different music genres, but this instrumental interpretation is integrated so beautifully that it is seamless. You&#8217;ll notice that the foundations of Viva la Vida are introduced three minutes into the piece and slowly becomes the focal point. It&#8217;s quite brilliant.]]></description>

		<title>Aftertaste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When eating something, nobody likes to have an unpleasant aftertaste. It&#8217;s just not a desirable outcome from consuming what you had initially thought to be something worthwhile for your taste buds. I consider it a small risk for a potentially large return (if you appreciate food, then a great tasting bite is utterly satisfying). The [...]]]></description>
