3 Months
I’ve had a job for three months. It’s a great job. It pays well, I’m not micromanaged, I’ve learned a bunch of new programs; I can show up at 10 or work through lunch and if the roads are seriously covered in snow I can […]

That Post Where I Rant About Balls
Okay, I know it’s not really my turn to post. It’s just that I’ve been having the nearly overwhelming urge to rant about something recently, and in you, internet reader, I have a captive audience! And what are blogs for if not for unplanned and […]
A House Divided
I’m not usually one to delve into politics, but this week I’ve got something on my mind. I’ve seen a lot in the news the past few days about the Benghazi hearings, in which Secretary of State Clinton took heat from Republican members of Congress […]
A Can of Black Beans and a Prolonged Adolescence
Saturday night over dinner I had one of those moments of self-reflection. It was the weekend so my roommates were out engaging in various social activities. Home alone, I was eating dinner: a can of black beans, prepared with salt and garlic, and a tomato […]
Sundance 2013
Wow. Where to start… The last week has been insanely hard on me. My feet are covered in blisters, I can barely keep my eyes open, and there were moments where I felt so inconsequential it was heart breaking. But this week was also incredible; […]
?
I must say that for my post this week I was at a loss on what to write. The creative juices didn’t seem to be flowing freely. Part of this had to do with thinking about what has happened in my life recently. As I […]
The Arranged Marriage and the Hook-up
“So, did you have an arranged marriage?” This was the question one of my colleagues at school asked me the other day, completely out of the blue. The notion seemed so absurd that I didn’t even take the time to formulate an articulate response. I […]
In Defense of Extremism
So, apologies in advance, this week I sort of went into mini-diatribe mode. I’m just tired, and sort of grumpy, and well… a graduate student– and we like to argue, especially about things that have nothing to do with our practical lives! If you can […]
Letting Go of the Fear
Hello! This week’s post is going to be short and sweet (a rarity for me…), since I’m fresh off a fantastic weekend with our favorite Merskank and I’m flat out exhausted. It was WONDERFUL to have a fellow princess come stay (especially one who suggests […]
Barrage of Babies!!!
I love babies. They are cute, easy to cuddle, and even when they make a huge mess, you still can’t help but love them. They are a wonderful part of life. However, as a twenty something, I am not ready to jump on the baby […]
The Big Lie
You have to go to college to get a good job. I heard this maxim my entire life, and, as a result, I was college-bound from the time I was in preschool. Well, the brain-washing worked: I am now a college graduate working as a […]
January Condition of The Month
It’s that time again. Time for all four princesses to answer one burning question. Question: What is something that your parents don’t understand about you that you wish they did? Cinderslut: My parents and I don’t have fun in the same ways. To be honest, […]
