The winter that never was

Winter 2012 has been one of the first winters I haven't been miserable, largely because it is the first winter which has not actually been like a typical one.

Something to stalk about

For Valentine's Day, my hallmates and I reminisced about our past flings and crushes. Everyone had their own stories, which caused a great deal of laughter and teasing, but I sensed a common theme running throughout. It's been a long time since we started talking about our love life in elementary school, so you might think we would have matured slightly.

Back to the basics

Have you ever played that "what would you bring on a desert island" game? I have. I must have played it a million times as an icebreaker, but it's also a favorite late-night discussion among my friends.

Real lady clothes

I have my first ever college internship lined up this semester. I don't know how I managed to pull it off with basketball and my class schedule.
