Murphys Law Gone Right

Well, as I write this post I am currently in the library.  I would like to be able to tell you that I completed all of my work far ahead of schedule, but sadly that’s not the case.  I do have 10 pages of a 15-20 page paper due Wednesday, so that’s a start (unless [...]

To the Undecided Students… I’ll be honest, I can’t completely relate.  Way back, when I was going through the college process, I did some self-analysis and realized that if I had to give myself the option of choosing between a bunch of schools in April, well it wouldn’t go so well.  Therefore, I figured I [...]

My Grandma recently reminded me of a story that I find to be largely applicable in light of the freshmen moving-in and the start of a new year.  When I was three years old, my mother enrolled me at pre-school.  Dropped off at a school with fifteen other kids who I didn't know, I was [...]

A short while ago I had a minor crisis. I thought I wouldn’t be able to study abroad because of a required class that was being offered in the spring. Luckily, every problem was solved. Nevertheless, I felt this was a good opportunity to discuss what you must do in order to successfully study abroad. [...]

Well, I am once again on the train, on my way back from my stay at home. I love going home, but I always feel like the time is too short. My life has been pretty hectic lately with midterms, my birthday, and even planning other people’s birthdays. This weekend was a nice vacation from [...]

Wow, well I was just crushed in Jeopardy.  I hate when that happens!  Although, I am somewhat placated by the fact that I did get the final jeopardy question.  Who said, "I love to be alone.  I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude"?  Yes, that’s right, Henry David Thoreau.  I find [...]

On Tuesday, I caught a cab to Penn Station and took the train home to Connecticut.  I can’t say enough about how much I love taking the train.  There is something so glamorous and civilized about it.  I mean, it brings back visions of an Audrey Hepburn movie–having to find an open seat and then [...]

In reality, I wish I could say “goodbye sunshine”.  Honestly, I bought a beautiful black trenchcoat at the beginning of the year (with a hood too) so I would be fully prepared for the Baltimore weather.  Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your view, it has been very warm and sunny since the beginning of September.  [...]

As the end of summer approaches and we get closer and closer to the beginning of school, it is the time to start the packing list.  While many of the items you may need you can buy at the local Target or Bed Bath and Beyond in Baltimore and Towson, you might feel more comfortable [...]

You know when you have writers block and people tell you that you should just start writing about anything, here is what I wrote: Descartes was a wonderful man.  Oh, if there ever was a wonderful person, it was Descartes.  If I knew what he wrote at all I would be able to write this [...]
