she's a brick and I'm drowning slowly


My name is Denise Ngo
On paper, I am a 23 year-old Fordham graduate in search of a job and a life, and exploiting her parents' generosity by living in New York City without having either. This blog documents what happens off the page, and outside of resume bullets and cover letters.

My Queens --> Manhattan Morning Commute Playlist

My morning commute playlist consists of tracks that are either super catchy/energetic, or totally brainless. Most of what I listen to while staving off early bired fatigue requires very little focused appreciation. Think of this playlist as caffeine in auditory form. It’s dubiously nutritious, but it does the trick, and I love it for that.
