It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I’ll admit that I’m drawn back to the page for a combination of reasons. This Friday marked two occasions, one much sadder and more important than the other: a series of terrorist attacks in Paris that shook the world, and Northeastern’s 10th (and my final) Husky Hunt.…
I’m eight years old. It’s my first time in New York City (aside from that one time I was so young I don’t remember) and my brother and I are taking in the sights and sounds of this amazing, bustling place. It has so much energy, there are so many people, and my family is happy.…
I wasn’t supposed to see the Foo Fighters at Fenway the other night. Sometimes amazing concerts just get in the way of that Biochem exam you were supposed to study for or the NeuroAggression lab you were supposed to do that night. Life happens, you know? Price: $35/100.00 (this will be explained later) Venue: FENWAY…
Part III of the study abroad blog. Part I can be found here and Part II here. Almost five months ago, I walked into Pooley House #42, Westfield Way, London E1 4PU for the first time. It was a bit before midnight, the air was cool and damp, and I was severely jetlagged after a…
Welcome to Part II of my three-post study abroad blog, where I shall attempt to relay my travels outside of London. Part I can be found here. A full itinerary of travels is included at the bottom of this post. If you have Bohemian Rhapsody playing in your head now, awesome! In retrospect, I wish I’d had a…
I’ve been back in the States for about a week, and it’s been weird. My semester in London was a lot of things, and it changed my sleep schedule pretty dramatically as well as my opinions and outlook on the rest of my life. Everything before London was stable, secure, set in stone; everything now…
In my ever so successful attempt at procrastinating, I’ve decided to ignore the essay eating at the back of my mind and instead write here all of the thoughts that can’t really be put into the essay. Also, this isn’t going to be like “I want more cookies” but more “feminism in the 13th century was…
As you may know–or have sharply assumed–I am currently studying abroad in London! It’s cool, I love it, and it provides quite a contrast to my normal thoughts/assumptions, which I find quite intriguing. So last week a few new friends and I went to a professional soccer game (my first ever), the FA Cup Round…
You may have read in my last post that my mom came to visit me in Boston this Thanksgiving. We had a ton of fun in my current city of residence, but then took our adventure beyond the borders of Massachusetts and spent the holiday weekend in our mutual favorite: New York City! I can’t…
I realized on Christmas Eve, about 40 minutes before guests began showing up, that I still hadn’t posted about Thanksgiving. I tried and failed to publish that night, and the next night, and the next, so now we’re in that between-Christmas-and-New-Year zone and I figure my deadline is the end of 2014. Apologies. Thanksgivings can…
Price: No idea… Venue: House of Blues, Boston 10/19/2014 Charlie called me on Saturday with an extra concert ticket, so Saturday night I found myself at a concert. It happens. Milo Greene opened for Bombay Bicycle Club at an early-ish show at the House of Blues, and within a few chords, they were impressed. The band…
The quest began on August 4th, 2014. This was, you may remember, the day after my NYC trip where Peter and I trekked to Doughnut Plant and had the best donut (coconut lime) I have ever experienced. Who am I kidding, even I didn’t remember the date of that. Point is, we began discussing donuts…
Sometimes everyone’s wrong. The other day, I recognized myself as a Mass-hole, a person in Boston who drives/bikes/walks like a self-centered and semi-suicidal maniac, giving Massachusetts as a whole a bad name while simultaneously endangering everyone that happens to be around them. It was a bit of a shock, to be honest, and I was immediately overwhelmed…
Aaron got a hedgehog and she’s adorable. Her name is Clementine and all I ever want to do is play with her and cuddle with her and take pictures of her, so I figure I can share some of this joy with all of you while also talking a bit about owning a pet in…
Price: FREE Venue: Hatch Shell 9/16/2014 Have I told you how much I love free concerts? I love them a lot. My first Mixfest was in 2011 where Sara Bareilles and Lifehouse played, and my second in 2013 where I got to see the Backstreet Boys (or rather, listen to them because it was so crowded and…
