I’m Nicole—language lover, lifelong learner, and advocate for human connection. I started out studying political science and sociology, but eventually found my way to languages. Now, I spend my days exploring Spanish, Chinese, and the cultures that shape them. Words, whether in literature, lyrics, or history, have always fascinated me, and I love unpacking the stories they tell.

Beyond language, I have a deep love for mythology, advocacy, and a well-crafted argument (about social justice or which chair reigns supreme). If I’m not analyzing someone’s birth chart or buried in homework at the language lab or library, I’m probably with my brilliant cat, Lilith.

This blog is a space for everything that excites me: language, culture, social issues, and the occasional deep dive into a rabbit hole of curiosity. Stick around for the latest linguistic discoveries, music obsessions, and whatever else I can’t keep to myself.
