SFU Convocation 2013

I have always been fascinated with dreams. The idea of entering an alternate dimension in your subconscious state that is a reflection of what you are facing in reality is a concept that I give great thought to.

Chapter 2012

I found this quote on Tumblr and immediately deemed it to be the greatest GPOY (internet lingo for 'this is an accurate representation of who I am') of all GPOYs. From the moment I groggily wake up in the morning to the time I drift off into la-la-land at night, my brain is bursting with …
