DECISIONS, DECISIONS…

December 2013: OK, this is great, this is huge, this is my dream written in a piece of paper. But, what about now? What about tomorrow? The next months? Next year? What about my life from now on?

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.

Stoweked

This time of year really makes me think about home. There are so many traditions surrounding fall; watching football on Sundays on the couch by the fire, the leaves changing, and hanging on to the last few days of nice weather, that I miss while at school.

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. Thanks to my boyfriend’s shocked face in the middle of the dance floor at my cousins super Russian wedding a few weekends ago, I knew I … Continue reading What is “Bring on the Borscht” ?
