Back by popular demand. And, well, mostly because I miss clicking away at keys and creating something to share with the world. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the launch of the new and improved What Are This. If you’re wondering why I was gone for so long, life kind of got in the way of… Read More What Are This? 2.0
August 30, 2014 I stepped foot off the ship and walked on solid ground cautiously. Honestly, I was a little nervous. With all that’s happing with Russia and the Ukraine, my family’s deep concern about my first port, and the extensive safety warnings Semester at Sea had given me, walking on Russian soil was a… Read More Dry Land

It took me a little longer than anticipated because I literally had them predating summer 2012. Don’t judge me. I decided it was time to hit the trash bin because I received a virus… Read More Hit the Trash Bin

There is a… Read More Is There a Doctor in the House?
As just about everyone knows, today is Ash Wednesday, which marks the first day of Lent and the upcoming Easter holiday. People everywhere are giving up luxuries for the next forty days: from meat to Twitter and from gossiping to cigarettes. I’ve never really participated in Lent, because I’ve always thought of it as more… Read More 40 Days and 40 Nights
