Personally, I think that young adult fiction is the cure for burning out on academics. A good story with large print is all I need to repair the mush that is my brain.
I might have just stumbled across catholicryangosling.tumblr.com
It’s a mad world.

What happens if you fall in love with a writer?
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers: they’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. They might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. They might make love to you at...

Now you can pick who sits next to you on your flight based on Facebook profiles?! Is this necessary - no. Life isn’t always about control and getting what you want people - I don’t understand this. This is not an advancement

Oh my gods, where do I even begin?
The people who are attending Smith these days are A) lesbians or B) international students who get financial aid or C) low-income women of color who are the first generation in their family to go to college and will go to any school that gives them enough money.

Fox News’ Liz Trotta, defending her comments about women in the military being raped too much.
Let’s be clear for a minute here, the “biology” she’s talking about has nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with socialization. We are taught how to behave in...

Happenings involving Smithies
One time the Alumnae Association Board of Directors was in town for a swanky weekend and the editor of Glamour Magazine bought me nachos and watched me get drunk off white wine at 7:30 pm on a Tuesday.
Today I stopped by the campus center and A Chemist’s Kitchen had a stand selling toffee and cookies and they were amazing and all of you should find her...

life updates
1. I changed my mind about the sullen blonde girl from work. She’s a bad bitch and I like her a lot.
2. I made a spontaneous decision and officially booked my flight home from Athens for ten days after my internship ends. That means ten completely unscheduled, completely solo days in Europe. Alone. By myself. The rough plan is to catch a cheap flight to Paris and never ever come home stay...

Tune in tomorrow for a preview of next week’s episode, Why Can’t I Just Go to Pub Crawl with All My...

Just a Gneiss Guy: For the first time →
Once upon a time a guy I was in love with wrote this beautiful thing.
gneissguy:
