So here I am, spending my Thursday night babysitting my younger cousins while their parents are in NYC.  In all fairness, they are both working while there (My uncle is cooking at the James Beard House and my aunt took in a class or two). But the horrific thing is this – the TV isn’t […]

So the 33rd Chilean miner just came out of the mine.  I literally got chills. Yes, there are 5 rescue workers still down there, but these 33rd have been through hell.  One of them had never  been in a mine before (he’s a hydraulic engineer) and was only in there that day to fix an […]

So as the entire world watches with baited breath as the 33 Chilean miners are pulled from their home of 69 days [EDIT: IT’S 1/2 MILE!, MY BAD!]2 miles underground, I was particularly anxious to see the “homecoming” of miner #21.

Growing up, I always wanted to be a lawyer – it looks  so damn cool.  Legally Blonde (both the movie and the musical) pretty much cemented my desire – blonde sorority girl who decides to be a lawyer and looks super cute while doing it?  HELLO… sounds wonderful. Ok let’s be serious. I wanted to […]

Wow!  It is a good thing I do not get paid to blog, because I have had a killer case a writer’s block these last few days. I wrote a few entires, all which will probably remain in “draft” stage forever. So – for the 3 people who read this (again, Hi Dad!) my apologies. […]

So, every weekend my boyfriend and I have the same conversation.  I whine (and yes, I admit – I am whining), because he will be watching [college] football all day Saturday, [NFL] all day Sunday & then again on Monday evening.  Since I am currently in school back home in Southeastern MA and he is […]

I should absolutely be  studying for my 2 midterms next week – but I’m not. And the reason I am not is thus: it isn’t interesting. I thought I made the right decision by going to law school, but I think I was wrong. And then I realize, how the hell do I know if […]

Recently, blog posts and magazine articles slamming my generation as “spoiled, entitled brats” have been popping up like crazy. Apparently we are all “too entitled” and we wander about with the “misconception” that we are owed – by society, by our respective undergraduate universities, by our family and friends – some sort of lifestyle of […]
