Maybe?
Today I drove to Harrisburg, PA to see a show and some friends that I had not seen in far far too long. It was a wonderful night for many reasons. Perhaps the best being that I reunited with several friends that I had not seen in a year, and picked up right where we left off. During my six hours on the road, I thought about a lot of things. Though for some reason I can’t settle on one of...
What Is It, A Joker?
Today was exhausting. Mainly because I was recuperating from yesterday’s events. Then because of the stress from trying to figure out how I’m getting myself to Harrisburg, PA tomorrow. I toggled between being able to go and not go because of broken down cars, closed roads, and friends not being able to make it. Everything that is inconvenient always seems to happen at the same time. At...
Well... That's It Folks
The events experienced tonight are just too grand not to share with all of you fabulous people. I hope you’re settled in for the night with a nice cup of something hot and a warm, cozy blanket. Prepare to begin a journey.
The plan my family had for today was as follows: get in the car by 1pm, drive to Philadelphia, eat dinner at Maggiano’s, stop at my apartment until the 7:30pm Cirque...
Doesn't Everyone?
Another Christmas night is coming to an end, and I’m spending it’s final moments alone in my room reflecting on the characters that are my family. I am grateful to be in the position of actually looking forward to the time I am able to spend with my family every holiday. As the years have gone by I realize more and more what a rare gem that is, to have people in your life who’s...
You Wanna Steal Those Kids?
Me: I'm going to give my friends a ride.
Tori: Why?
Me: Because I care too much.
Tori: Don't be that girl that ends up murdered in the bathtub.

The Human Language
This week I had the privilege of watching two epically awesome movies in theaters. However, in this post I am not going to dwell on the epically awesome aspects of film. In fact, I am going to do the exact opposite. I am quite the movie snob. I have accepted this many a day ago. There are certain components of film that drive me absolutely mad. All it takes is one of these brief moments to suck...
Bren.
The laughter that just occurred in my apartment between my roommate and I:
What were we laughing about? Mispronunciation of the name “Brad.”
Why were we laughing so hard? Because it’s 5am and we’re still up preparing for finals.

Wow.
Whitney: It's five o' clock somewhere.
Michelle: No. It's finals week. It's five o' clock nowhere.
When I Caught Fire
Have you ever suddenly become aware of your current situation and think about how you got to that point? I don’t mean this in the sense of realizing your life has been going downhill, or that you’re failing a class, or decided on pizza instead of a sandwich. I mean looking at what you’re doing at this very moment in time, and ponder the long sequence of events that brought you...

What About Murder?
The excitement I just experienced upon looking out of my window and realizing it was snowing.
I Love Office Hours
Right now I’m sitting in a hallway lounge brooding over the fact that the room we have reserved for Temple Invisible Children meetings has been double booked, and we have to cancel our last meeting of the semester. As I’ve been sitting here killing time while I wait for people to arrive so that I can inform them there is no meeting, I’ve been looking through friends’ blogs and and social media...

Thank You, That Was Socrates
10 days until the third and final Chronicles of Narnia movie comes out! I read these books as a kid and love them just as much as, if not more than, I do now. I’m going to read Voyage of the Dawn Treader through once more before the movie is released on the 10th. The books are written with a wonderful simplicity and imagination that a child could appreciate, but full of themes and...
