This last Thursday, I had a wild day. I woke up with the sun, dragging myself from my apartment to my 9 am thermodynamics exam, holing up in the library for 3 hours to study, sitting through a molecular biology lecture, hand-writing four pages on abstract...

On a cool Wednesday morning, Students for Life planted ~2200 blue and pink flags on the HUB lawn, intended to symbolize the number of abortions every day.** Six stduents stood resolutely outside the building, holding signs intended to shame people who want control...

I have a good feeling about this week. For the last month, it seems like there’s been a deadline every day: homework, quiz, exam, paper, presentation, repeat.

So, I live in a dorm. It’s a pretty decent size and I don’t have a roommate, but I unfortunately do not have a kitchen. This is more than a little tragic because I absolutely love to cook. My family doesn’t really do the whole “family...

I always intend to write these blogs about one thing, then change my mind in the middle I have this really distinct memory of being a kid and telling my mom (who is a high school teacher) that I would never do her job. 20 year old me is starting to reconsider that....

Last spring, I went to the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh for the first time. It might just be my second favorite museum I’ve ever visited (Warhol, baby, no. 1 goes to you). It’s weird. The installation-style works are always changing, though there are a few...
