My latest musings.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
On a rainy day in 2004, I went on what I thought was a typical movie date with my mom (aka the best kind of movie date there is) to the Sandusky State Theater (which smelled like mothballs and typically hosted obscure cover bands, but sometimes showed movies). That rainy movie day turned out to […]
When I was little, I had a lot of favorite bedtime stories (i.e. “Harold and the Purple Crayon”, “Little Blue and Little Yellow” and many more) – but one of my all-time favorites was “What Mommies Do Best” (which, when you flipped it over, was also “What Daddies Do Best”). The book featured illustrations of different mother/child scenarios – i.e. “Mommies can […]
I promise – this is not the typical “My semester is going by WAY too fast!” post. (OK, maybe there is a little bit of that.) Tonight (or this morning?), I’m bringing you my latest thoughts about life at the corner of orange and blue. In my social psychology class, I have been learning about the concept of “possible selves.” It’s […]
Some goodbyes are difficult – like saying goodbye to close friends or family you know you won’t see for a while, while others are not so hard – like how I felt about saying ‘peace out’ to my Astronomy class as a freshman. The goodbye I am thinking and talking about today is the au revoir to my […]
I am turning 20 in less than a week. I know most people my age don’t really consider a person’s 20th birthday to be a milestone (in the United States, at least). However, I think age 20 is a pretty big deal. I’ve been alive for two decades. Two decades! As my Nana would say, “Isn’t that something?” The big “2-0” is not something […]
If Walt Disney World is where dreams come true, Toft’s Ice Cream in Sandusky, Ohio, is where ice cream dreams come true. A perfect spot for natives and tourists alike, Toft’s is a local tradition, a must-have, a reliable favorite. With its quirky Ohio-related flavor names and seemingly endless tubs of yummy options, this ice cream shop is […]
Since my friends Mitchell, Anna and I are finally reunited for the summer, we decided to have a celebratory day of fun. We headed to Cedar Point Beach for a little Vitamin D and a lot of laughs. The weather was incredible (which is not something to be taken for granted where we live), and the beach was not overcrowded (but, as per […]
