This is my last blog post of the year! It’s becoming more and more of a reality that the end of freshman year is quickly approaching as we rush to finish projects and presentations – there is never enough time. But in the opposite sense, summer is approaching – finally a (seemingly) excess of free […]

Divergent is a book that I hope to read soon, especially since the movie just came out and I’d like to read the book before seeing the film. My brother read the series and went to see the movie last night– he said he loved it! Other friends have highly recommended it as well. Being a […]

I’m switching it up a bit this week, and talking about a movie instead of a book. This past weekend I had the pleasure of finally watching Frozen! They were showing it at the HUB for free, and I couldn’t miss out on that opportunity. Before seeing it, I had heard mixed opinions; some were […]

Being on the search for new books, this week I’ll be discussing a book my dear friend Sophie recommended to me: The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides. I been looking particularly for a novel more relevant to our lives as students, and looking into some book reviews, this book fulfills that. The Marriage Plot features a […]

I came across this book while bored downtown and I decided to stop at Webster’s Bookstore Café, a literally underground bookstore. (It’s definitely worth stopping by if you haven’t yet; it’s a pretty unique/hip place with interesting people, lots of books, and a tasteful café.) I bought it on a whim because 1) it was […]

I finally got around to finding this book over winter break! I had read Hosseini’s The Kite Runner (in the graphic novel form too) and it was an extremely moving story. I didn’t expect any less from And the Mountains Echoed and I wasn’t disappointed. The story was more if not equally emotionally gripping, as […]

One of my favorite pastimes in the summer was to read in my backyard. It was beautiful out, and time was plentiful. But by having such a busy schedule in college, I realize that I really don’t read leisurely as much as I’d like anymore. I also weirdly miss chilling out in the library doing […]

Another episode on Hannah, this time highlighting her imperfections, which isn’t hard at all since she is full of them. Still an immature character, she hasn’t shown much growth at all throughout the season, besides no longer asking her parents for money. Instead, she relies on Marnie to pay rent, feed her cupcake addiction, etc., […]

Wow. So Hannah and Adam actually seem like a cute couple? What is going on… This episode, again, focuses on relationships. Marnie is still devastated by Charlie’s quick move-on (which is silly regarding the fact that she was completely unattracted to him by the end of their relationship, comparing his touch to a creepy Uncle’s […]

Exciting news: this might be the first episode without any gross/awkward sex! In fact, this episode was surprisingly void of sexual occurrences, besides a groin massage cracked out Shoshanna gave Ray after kicking him in the nuts, which was actually “totally nonsexual.” This brings me to note that this episode focused on the girls’ introspection […]
