It’s all Greek to me: Common sense, and why the ancient Greeks are overrated
The ancient Greeks were not that great. I am a Classical Studies major and I am one of the Undergraduate Departmental Representatives for the department, so I study the writings and teachings of the venerated philosophers of Athens from millennia ago. That being said, I have come to know that a lot of what these […]
Look back over the past… and you can foresee the future too
When I was a little kid, my door was extremely colorful. While my siblings had plain white doors, just down the hall, the inside of my door was embellished with bright streaks of red and yellow and blue. I am not one of those artistic types, nor have I ever been, so the anomalous decor […]
I cannot believe this is even a debate: Nutritional hegemony and its evil harbingers
Soup is not food. When I say “soup is not food,” I am in no way saying that soup is not delicious or nutritious. On the contrary, I am an ardent supporter of dipping grilled cheese in a nice tomato soup or getting through a rough cold with a bowl of chicken-noodle soup. What I […]

Miss me? No? Maybe you forgot who this is. I am your chocolate chaperone, your deputy of desserts! Buckle up, proverbial “buckaroos,” as we head back into the dark recesses of my mind once again. Breakfast Desserts Blueberry Scones: Juicy and sweet blueberries were practically designed to be put inside the flaky, dry husk of […]
Getting your just desserts: the incontrovertible truth, part II
Sksksksk, fellow VSCO girls! I have just “ooped” into another rant (if I used that incorrectly, blame my mother for birthing me). Get ready to fill your Hydro Flasks with sugar and your tummies with joy as we continue this caloric cavalcade. You know the deal: I’ve got opinions, and you’ve got eyes. Let’s do […]
Getting your just desserts: the incontrovertible truth
Here’s the deal: I’ve got opinions, they’re better than yours (unless you agree entirely, then they are equally as good) and the world has a right to hear them. I’ve tried every dessert in the dining halls so you don’t have to. If you’ve ever stood frozen with fear in front of the dessert table […]
