I am horrifically disorganized. As my roommates can tell you, my room looks like a hurricane hit it after a robbery that went terribly wrong. In class, I am the […]

I recently walked into a nail salon with my friend Mary, and was told that our eyebrows were “a disaster.” Let me tell you what a disaster is: Titanic. The […]

Last night, for my beautiful friend Sarah’s birthday, we played […]
