COTM February – Talent Show

COTM February – Talent Show

Have you guys been watching The Bachelor this season? Ben isn’t the most interesting of men, but he’s tall, kind, and young, which make for a winning combination if you ask me. In college we used to gather together with junk food and craft projects […]

Condition of the Month: August

Hey there 20 somethings!  I know, I know– t’s been a long time!  Sorry for that.  Ariel was in charge last month and instead of doing her duty to the blog she was running around Norway with friends.  Can you say troll-ific?  Anyway, at last […]

Condition of the Month: May

Millenials: who do we think we are? Who does everyone else think we are? What defines our generation? What are the misconceptions about our generation?         I guess I am not sure what attributes our generation are normally given. Of the ones […]
