  • Link Party: 4/20-4/24

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Avocados are very important. 2. This is what happened when the Washington Post sent its food critic to critique a restaurant 80 Yelp users have rated 1-star. 3. Emoji are also very important, especially on the linguistics front. 4. Mallory Ortberg‘s advice to her younger self is wonderful.…

  • Think Tank: My One Gray Hair

    I was in the bathroom at school today washing my hands, and I looked in the mirror to make sure that I didn’t have anything in my teeth or gross on my face (as one does), and I saw something I was not expecting to see. One single, long, course, gray hair towards the middle…

  • Link Party: 4/13-4/17

    There were a few things I wanted to blog about (like my last capstone paper and the Time 100 list) that I just didn’t have time for. #TeamNoSleep, but that’s what next week is for. Anyways, here’s what I read this week: 1. The importance of coffee for Icelandic culture. 2. It’s comforting to know…

  • Link Party: 4/6-4/10

    I was actually really productive this week — must be the Week 2 recharge. Anyway, here’s what I read: 1. A four-in-one about how the restaurant business is reinventing food waste. My personal favorite is the photo essay about the aprons. 2. I also would like to attend the Audubon Society’s school for sick burns.…

  • Think Tank: Apple Watch

      I really enjoy Apple products. I’ve had two Apple laptops, and am currently typing this blog post on my beloved Macbook Pro. My first smartphone was an iPhone 4. I love my iPhone 5, and cannot work an Android phone to save my life. I spend most of my middle school and high school…

  • Link Party: 3/30-4/3

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. These are the emails you get from Twitter when you don’t Tweet, follow anybody or log into the account. 2. This guy tried to analyze 18 years of his email, which amounted to nearly half a million messages. 3. The history behind and surrounding the Mark Rothko murals…

  • Think Tank: #Goals

    Most people do not know that I consider Ina Garten as one of my role models. Before becoming the Barefoot Contessa, she was a White House nuclear policy analyst and overall badass. Now she spends her days cooking for her blog, inviting friends over and spending time with her devoted husband Jeffrey. If you don’t know…

  • Culture Connoisseur: Palm Springs Photo Essay

    I went to Palm Springs for the day last week, and it was awesome. See you later, PS. Now, onto spring quarter. Have you been to Palm Springs before? Let’s talk about it in the comments.    

  • Link Party: 3/23-3/27

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. This really interesting comparison between evil soliloquies in Shakespeare and Robert Durst’s hot mic. 2. If you’ve ever been curious about how shows like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart get specific sound bites from news broadcasts and stuff like that, this is how they do it. 3. Ephemera…

  • Culture Connoisseur: Encinitas

    My best friend Paige always has the best ideas. One of her best ideas started with texting me about this art store in Encinitas, and subsequently us deciding to make a day trip out of it. Encinitas is a sleepy beach town in San Diego about two hours away from where I live. Neither one of…
