So much has happened since school started in August. My life had been bumping along steadily, but pitifully over the summer. I was eager to return to the pace of student life. It was another chance to push my limits – farther than I ever have. The first day, I woke up again. I talk […]
Why I Am Proud To Be A Tarheel
With all the recent hoopla that has invaded UNC’s football program, and given our university some sort of bad rap – I thought it was important to outline some of my top reasons that I am oh, so, proud to be a student at UNC at Chapel Hill! First of all, you must know that […]
Eat Your Heart Out With Ceviche!!
Yesterday, (after shamelessly teasing my followers with details of my dinner plans) I promised a Twitter friend I would share the recipe for the ceviche my friend and I were making. The “recipe” is more or less his, but really it’s a straight forward Ceviche recipe that requires just a few pieces of magic ;). […]
Religion & The Mosque in NYC
I am not exactly sure why, but when I woke up this morning, I knew exactly what I was going to write about today. I haven’t been paying attention to all the articles about the Muslim mosque being built-in NYC. Nor have I been listening to everyone’s (politicians) commentary on the matter. Previously, I heard […]
Media World: I Take You Up On Your Challenge
It’s right around the corner and I can almost touch it! I know that I shouldn’t be so stoked about school starting again, but I just can’t wait. The mad schedule, the crazy rush and the never-ending list of things to do is…within my grasp! I am most excited about this semester because it represents a […]
Death…How I Wanna Go
This morning, as I came into work at the police department I was overwhelmed with activity. Another dead body had been found. The voice on the other side of the radio described, “a very strong smell coming from the apartment and flies on the windows.” It’s as gruesome as it sounds, but it really got […]
Immigration: The Way I See It
Immigration. It’s a subject on everyone’s mind these days. In the midst of all the confusion surrounding immigration I decided to weigh in. I don’t have any definite answers or opinions, but I think it is important that people like me, who are able to understand both sides, also take a stand. When I got into […]
Quiero Todo
Quiero todo, bundled bright and bold packaged lettering spread across pages in the history of my life, partly compiled of travels to unpaved lands those that share fruit and saddle meat, composed of a love that rarely occurs the kind that leaves those unknowing wishing for their pages, wishing to be a part of a […]
The Woods Feel Like Home
I don’t have to tell you how lucky I am. Even though I had to leave behind my tranquil mountains and come to the Piedmont for school, I finally managed to find a home nestled in the “woods.” After having to move three times my first semester in Chapel Hill (thanks to roommate issues), I finally […]
What Do Your Clothes Say About You?
Early yesterday morning I stopped in at the Weaver Street Market for coffee. It’s a sort-of semi grocery store/bakery/healthy hot-food-available kind of place. It’s the type of establishment that you like to be seen at ~ you know, that very hip, urban crowd with their Macs and headphones. It’s a totally care-free world in an […]
