Dear Reader, Have you ever been stuck on a problem so challenging that you don’t even know where to begin? Well, I am. I am currently trying to write a research proposal for graduate school applications and it feels like everyone already took all the interesting research ideas. Where to start? Everytime I stumble upon... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, To what lengths will you go to avoid being rude? This might be an odd question, but seriously, think about some of the little things you have done to not be rude. Here are a few of my own examples: A man held the door open for me and I was rather far... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Boston is in the midst of a Nor’easter. Apparently, I slept through the worst of it. However, in the middle of the night, my boyfriend and others were caught in the rain (a downpour really that went as much down as it did side to side). Roofs were damaged, trees split in half,...

Dear Reader, Where do we go when we are no longer on Facebook? It’s a silly question, but just yesterday I was trying to recall someone from my past and realized that I could not remember their full name. After much mental anguish I managed to remember the first name, but had zero idea about... Continue Reading →

Dear Reader, Today there was a street fair in Harvard Square. The roads were closed and vendors and food trucks lined the sidewalks. Although I love these sorts of events, I found it to be very strange that I did not hear about the street fair until I was walking in the area this morning... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Halloween will fall on a Thursday this year, which means many of us will be at the office on the day of the festivities. I have a tendency to “go hard” on Halloween and this year will be no exception. Today, I spent the majority of my time on Halloween prep. For me,... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, It is raining sideways again in Boston. Sometimes, on days like this, I have to really force to myself to remember why I love this city. Do you know the meaning of the word ‘ambivalence’? While you may have used this word casually to mean ‘uncertain,’ it actually has a very specific meaning... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, It was recently my birthday. In the days leading up to my birthday, I have a tendency to reflect on birthdays past. Will this year be a good one or will it be totally, utterly depressing? My birthday day this year was fine, not the most memorable, but also not the worst. This year my... Continue Reading →
