It’s a Tuesday afternoon and I should be working on Non Fiction portfolio of even my Senior Seminar’s term paper, but alas I am watching another episode of Scrubs. Why am I telling you about my procrastination?
Well because I just saw a commercial of Edge Shaving Gel (men’s shaving cream). It begins by […]

April 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments
In addition to stories I have heard from friends working in secondary education I found a news story about the increased amount of x-rated texting among teens. Appearently explicit videos, language, and photographic images are being passed around among some teens across the country. As a result, school administrators, religious and civic organizations, and concerned […]

I should be paying attention to my Human Sexuality Professor, but unfortunately my computer is distracting me (and normally I do use it for note taking in class). But taking a glass half full approach, if my computer wasn’t such a distraction, I would not be able to share with you this heartbreaking account […]

My newest girl crush: Diablo Cody
March 5th, 2008 · No Comments
So I saw Juno last month and I LOVED it. I thought it was funny, sarcastic and extremely well-written. It gave a unique insight into our generation that only a talented screenwriter could accomplish. I became instantly smitten with the mysterious person behind such a great indie movie.
Imagine my delight when I […]

Rolling Stone: The Ultimate Tabloid
February 24th, 2008 · No Comments
Lately it seems that you simply cannot avoid Britney Spears. She’s on the cover of every trashy magazine at the grocery store checkout, her latest “endeavors” are constantly being discussed on every radio talk show- VH1 is even airing tell-all specials such as “Britney’s Secret Childhood.” However, the other day I saw the […]

February 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment
The other night, in the midst of what, for New York City, was a complete blizzard, I went to see the Broadway show Spring Awakening with my friend Kate and some other kids from the Honors College at Pace. And I have to say, I don’t think I have ever seen anything like this […]

Right now California polls aren’t even fully counted yet, but I just found this amazing video that Amber Tamblyn and America Ferrera (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Joan of Arcadia, The Ring, Real Women Have Curves) they did a video of Hillary, and I believe it shows how kind she is and how much she […]

I have just begun my final semester as a college undergraduate student, and while my focus has been mostly on graduation preparation, career opportunities and possible re-location, one of my courses (Advanced Creative Non Fiction) is allowing me to keep partial focus on my passion for creative writing (thank you Professor Smith).
In my last […]
