When I first got to college, three of the first people I met had all grown up together and sung in school choirs for years. Their voices were fabulous. One of the very first nights we all hung out, we were playing music while getting ready. Amidst the rather loud rendition of a Dixie Chicks […]
Junior year of college, I went on what my school liked to call an “Alternative Spring Break trip.” Rather than heading to the beach or visiting high school friends, I went on an outreach trip to Ecuador. The entire concept of this was terrifying to me for one primary reason: I am an introvert. In […]
I went to college at Sewanee: the University of the South. If you’ve never seen Sewanee, you need to because no words can truly capture the beauty or spirit of the Sewanee community. For a first time visitor, there is a peculiar sense of mystery that is evoked by the campus and the students wandering […]
Before I went to college, I rarely ate fast food. I could count on one hand the amount of times I’d been to Burger King (I still can, actually). If McDonald’s didn’t have Monopoly or Hardee’s didn’t have to-die-for, amazing breakfast biscuits, they, too, would both fall into this category of “scarcely consumed.” When we […]
If I didn’t have to eat, I would probably hibernate like a bear in the winter. But somewhere beneath my utter dislike of cold weather, a happy little girl is bundled in five layers of jackets, scarves, and hats trying to raise her puffy-jacketed arms to gleefully shout, “now’s the time to eat comfort food!” […]
Disclaimer: Everything I’m about to say is an accidental admittance of my finicky personality. Every summer, usually around mid-July, I stare at my car’s thermometer slowly climbing above 110° while the leather of my car seat is melting onto my legs, and I think, “this isn’t so bad. This summer has definitely been cooler than […]
I do love to cook, but sometimes the stove just is not going to be turned on. Maybe it’s the fact that my recent discovery of Desperate Housewives leaves me couchridden on many weekday nights. Maybe it’s a long day of work or maybe those grad school essays have melted my brain for the night. […]
I was raised to be a beer snob. My dad is a home brewer and I have been his bottler since I was six. By the time I was 10, I could recite the history of an IPA and tell anyone why my dad could never make lagers (bottom-fermenting beers need very cold temperatures!). But […]
I took the GRE last week, and if there’s anything worse than spending a beautiful fall day wearing noise-canceling headphones and finding the area of a triangle, it’s doing all this without lunch. When I skip a meal, I sink into low blood sugar-induced hysterics. Imagine giggling and blank stares. Since the test started at […]
