Why can’t I walk anywhere???

Over the weekend, we ran out of coffee. A predicament we did not realize until it was the evening and did not have a chance to go to the store. Although this is definitely a trivial issue, I had a nagging anxiousness for what a coffee-less, routine-shattering morning...

The Integrity of the Peaky Blinders

Right now, I am in the middle of watching Peaky Blinders. Taking place during Britain’s industrial revolution, it follows a family that rises through the top of society. They bind together as a gang, calling themselves the Peaky Blinders, and build a reputation...

I remember being in middle school and my teacher handed out a cheesy pamphlet on phone addiction. My friends and I looked at each other, and reassuringly acknowledged that we would be totally fine without our phones. Therefore, we weren’t addicted. I remember voicing...

Cheers!

This blog I find really strange to write. I’m currently sitting in the kitchen at my flat in London. It’s in a quiet and quaint area called Bloomsbury. (close to where fellow PLAer Natasha is) I think this strange feeling is stemming from being so far removed from...

Holiday Szn

Before we know it, it’s going to be Christmas time! As fun and lovely as Christmas time is, it can become stressful when we constantly get text messages from our moms asking what we want. And vice versa – it can be stressful trying to find that perfect gift for...

Why you should vote

I’m taking a history class on the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Although almost every time period in American history can be argued as highly political, this era stands out in comparison. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, the politics that...
