Ellie Finds a Home

Growing up, my family made sure that animals were always apart of the family no matter what it was.

“FIRE FIRE LEAVE IMMEDIATELY”

I can sleep through a lot …..thunder storms, movies, trains, lectures, you name it- I can sleep through it. One exception to my bear like hibernation is the god awful fire alarm in my apartment.

While football is consuming the majority of our time on Saturdays and Sundays, the MLB Playoff race (well, now it’s the postseason I guess) gives us sports fans something to find […] Continue reading

Teams Who Run Together Stay Together

As a Division 3 lacrosse program, we are only allowed a certain number of practices during the fall. For about four weeks, we are able to practice about three times per week.

What is “Bring on the Borscht” ?

Welcome to my very Russian yet very American life, that to me, seems completely normal. Recently I discovered that the blurred line between my cultures isn’t considered “normal” to most people.

Welcome to My Grandparent Stories

HERE I GO! People (my parents) have been telling me that I should create a blog in order to share my thoughts and opinions. Initially, I was flattered, but after deeper consideration I believe they simply used the blog idea to get me to shut-up for a few minutes and write.
