Not to sound scary, but right now, it does feel like New York City is slowly moving toward a quasi-apocalyptic state. Some (not all, but some) supermarkets in the city have lines wrapped around the stores — namely Trader Joe’s, where I stood in line (at a time when it’s usually empty) for about an […]
Hi, nice to meet you — I’ve been a proud member of the Clean Plate Club™ for almost 23 years, and there’s really no other way to say it: I love food. View this post on Instagram Caught in a Satchel’s state of mind 💫💖🍕 #this #is #happiness A post shared by Darcy (@darcy_schild) on […]
I’m by no means a yoga connoisseur. I’m no spiritual gangster, and I’m hardly a yogini. At best, I’m a person who enjoys doing yoga. I like yoga because it feels like a good stretch after sitting at a desk in front of a computer screen for eight hours. It makes me feel relaxed, and […]
Hello, blog readers! I’ve actually lifted my head from my mass media law textbook to show some long-overdue TLC to The Darcy Diaries. The countdown to graduation is just about as nail-biting as it gets, but I’m remaining optimistic as I keep my eyes peeled for post-grad opportunities and soak up my (numbered) months of […]
I recently returned to swampy Florida from my bagel-filled summer in New York City, and there’s so much to unpack — aside from my hefty duffel bags of clothes, that is. This summer, I spent two months as an intern for The Style Line and its agency CONNECT(ED)ITORIAL. From photoshoots on brownstone-lined Brooklyn streets to inspiring […]
This morning, I crammed myself onto the 1 train to Canal, and I somehow got wedged in one of those horrible spots that’s an awkward distance from any handrail. It’s happened to me before on subway commutes, but this time was different. No matter how many times I shimmied to the right or left or […]
Films that fall under the romantic comedy genre have long been regarded as purely frivolous, fun and feel-good — but the rom-com genre has a rich history, and though its peak era ended in the early 2000s, it’s a genre that has a place in American film culture. In case you’ve been living under a […]
Hello from the corner of junior and senior year! I’m in disbelief that, aside from an exam (and just a couple more papers), I’ve completed my third year at UF. My good friend Marla, who’s been studying in Denmark all semester, recently wrote a blog post where she talked about how hindsight is 20/20. In […]
Welcome back to The Darcy Diaries, which has been on a mini-hiatus for the first chunk of this year, as I’ve had my plate full with school and lots of other writing — and (in true Millennial fashion) I’ve just needed a teensy break from the blog to “get my life together.” It’s now mid-March, […]
When I was little, I had a Barbie music box that played an instrumental version of a Simon & Garfunkel song, “The 59th Street Bridge Song” (also known as “Feelin’ Groovy”). Of course, when I was 6 or 7 or however old I was when I fell asleep to the lazy tune and semi-creepy spinning […]
