Driver’s Ed (featuring Hot Dogs)
My brother is turning 17 this year (cue the forehead sweat and the urge to cry.) He has also just started Driver’s Ed. (Cue the nausea and urge to say YIKES) When he turned 15, he proudly announced he was 6 months away from being eligible to get his Learner’s Permit. “5 months.” “4 months.”… Continue reading

My Tattoo
As some of you may know, I hiked Mt. Whitney this past August with a group of my family and friends. It was easily one of the most gratifying and inspiring experiences I’ve ever had. I honestly did not believe it was anything I could ever do. My dad had run the idea by my… Continue reading

We’re all making New Year’s Resolutions. All of us. So don’t try to deny it.

The Day With the Quesadilla
Last Saturday I ate a quesadilla in bed. The trek to the kitchen to microwave it had been hard enough; I couldn’t imagine sitting upright at the table to consume it. So I sludged back to the dark hole that was my bedroom, slipped under the covers and dove into the melted cheese. I didn’t… Continue reading

Seattle
Congo music was my first mistake. Why the hell did I think I would want to wake up to Congo music at 3:15 in the morning?! To make matters worse, I put my pants on backwards and put on two different shoes. But it all worked out in the end. I got to the bus… Continue reading

The Job Search
I’ve been participating in a well-known tradition known as “the job search” these days. Websites upon websites welcome you with their “51 open career opportunities!!” and their bright blue “APPLY NOW” buttons. You send out your resume, you type up your cover letters, and then you wait. You wait, and wait, and wait to no… Continue reading
