Coming of age traditions serve as memorable milestones to look back upon and laugh (or cry) at. There’s nothing like commemorating a major milestone in your life with a memorable experience- with accompanying photo evidence for later shame. I live for the story. Funny embarrassing story that is. I can only mainly speak for the teen into adulthood years, but since…
Holding a door for the person walking behind you is supposedly a simple, time-endured act of kindness – meant as a polite demonstration of compassion and consideration for another human being. What few recognize, however, is the vast array of variable factors that must be thoroughly considered before door-holding: your relationship with those behind you, the distance of those behind…
In the past month, I have lived in three places. From home to school, I transferred from a cozy three bedroom house in the country with a pool and an adorable puppy to what turned out to be a space ever so slightly larger than a closet. What was supposed my magical, senior year apartment became more of a…
So far in London, I’ve enjoyed a show in the famous West End, visited the queen (and my future husband, Prince Harry) at Buckingham Palace and ridden on the top of a double decker bus. I’ve updated my wardrobe to be more chic and I’ve started casually incorporating the words flat and posh into my daily vocabulary. I’ve also spent a lot of money on alcohol, and for that I blame Freshers Week.
One of my friends is a witch—and I didn’t even know it. Wait, back up a second. How did I not know? Isn’t that something that would be pretty obvious? Wands, robes, cauldrons and the like? Aren’t witches merely characters straight out of a Halloween tale? People who claim to be witches have got to be a little touched in the head….

It’s not fall unless there’s football. And it’s not football unless it’s college football: specifically, Rutgers University college football. As a student of a school without a football team, there’s nothing I love more than getting together with my friends and watching a great football game. The Rutgers “Black Out” game is definitely more about the experience prior to the…
Every week it’s the same exact thing. Monday through Friday, we’re just going through the motions, waiting for the weekend. School. Work. Sleep. Repeat. The weekend approaches, and we’re finally free to do whatever we want. There’s an aura of mystery that something exciting may happen. After a long week, we’re ready to go out and have fun. Or maybe…
When getting to know someone, it is customary to ask a lot of questions, a lot of which center around an either-or situation. For example, the constant debate between whether a person is more particularly fond of the curiosity and independence of cats, or the perkiness and loyalty of dogs. But right now, on the minds of the younger generation is the…
One of the biggest misconceptions about yoga is that it is just an exercise to tone and shape the body. While this is partly true, yoga is way more than that. Yoga is a union of the mind, body and spirit and a willful way to conduct the fluctuations of the mind. Sounds complicated, right? Not really. You just need…
