Give Me Love

Last week, at a dimly lit pub in London, I sat listening to one of my former acquaintances trail off into a drunken, mumbled tirade about love and long distance relationships. The room was loud, and there were moments where I only barely understood what he was saying, but I knew that asking him to repeat himself would only lead us down more dark paths that I maybe didn’t want to go down....

World News

My upcoming trip to London feels a little different. I’ve made the trip so frequently, I don’t even know why it would. Part of it is at least because my sister is coming with me, so it’s sort of like a half tourist mission/half return to old stomping grounds. I literally have never put this much effort into planning a wardrobe for any trip, ever (well, you know, except for maybe...

Pride and Prejudice

[Photo Source: ME! September, 2010] Each time I make the journey to London, my mom asks me “Why not Paris?” After all, Paris is Paris. I could join the legions of Americans who wax poetic about the cobblestone streets and Haussmannian architecture, the slate gray rooftops that reflect the often similarly colored sky and combine to create a shockingly beautiful and seemingly...

Goodbye, 2011.

So, 2011. It has been real. It started off a little frustrating—I’d just changed my concentration at Medill and then was very confused about why I was staying there at all. Not great things were happening with my mom’s life (which found her moving in with me), and I was trying to sort out what I’d do post-graduation. But! I made some amazing, lifelong friends at...

Ugly Chicken

Much as the title would suggest, the chicken in this recipe is hideous. I mean, you know, it still looks good enough to eat, but there’s no amount of Instagram-ing in the world that would make it tumblr-worthy. It is, however, delicious. You will need: A heaping tablespoon of light brown sugar A half a can of Coke 2 tablespoons of Sriracha 1/4 cup of Soy Sauce 1/2 cup of water One clove...
