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 […]
So much has happened since I’ve last cracked open the virtual notebook that is The Darcy Diaries. From hurricanes to horses and lots in-between, life has been moving especially quickly, and I’m finally pressing the pause (or rewind?) button to take a look back at my first sliver of junior year. As a reporter for WUFT, […]
Hello from the corner of happy and humid! I’m back in Gainesville for year three, and though it’s just the beginning of the semester, there’s already lots of work to be done and stories to be told. Speaking of beginnings, about two years ago, I wrote my first blog post as a freshman at UF. […]
Just like that, my time in Boston has come to a close. Since I was early (as usual) to the airport, I scoped out the free WiFi password, and I’m coming to you live with lots of thoughts (26, to be exact) about this unforgettable summer. Here we go! A is for Always an adventure […]
Each week seems to fly by faster than when the Red Line T races past me on the tracks and makes my hair go everywhere. It’s crazy to think I’ve now been here for more than a month—which, in the grand scheme of things, is a relatively short time—and how much I’ve done and learned […]
The past few weeks in Boston have brought lots of writing, editing, exploring and intern adventures. Here’s what I’ve been up to, what I’m thinking about, working on and looking forward to! My days at the Her Campus office are very busy—and so much fun. Every day is a little different depending on my schedule […]
My first week of interning and living in Boston is somehow already complete—and even though this is still just the beginning of my summer, I already have so much to say! From cozy rides on the T (with someone’s friendly-but-sweaty golden retriever rubbing against my leg) and late-night fire alarms (everything/everyone was okay—apparently a resident […]
If my life were a movie, this would be the overly dramatic punchline: “After months of mental preparation, 20-year-old college girl from Florida arrives in Boston with three duffel bags of Space Bag-sealed clothes, her laptop and a dream.” Okay, key phrase: overly dramatic. Since my life isn’t a movie and I don’t go about […]
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 […]
Two years ago, I was a high school senior on the cusp of graduation and a whole lot of new beginnings. Now, I am less than two weeks away from being a rising junior (!!!) on the cusp of so much more than I can imagine as I write this. With my sophomore year at the […]
