I just watched this great video on YouTube. I was laughing and laughing about a hyperactive dog who was running around and chasing his tail. This of course led me to about 100 other videos about animals doing crazy things. It is like YouTube knows me. I could have spent hours watching all of those…
I was hesitant to go to Num Pang Sandwich Shop for a very long time. Although everything looked appetizing and the Yelp reviews checked out, I was scared. I usually don’t like sandwiches with carrots, cucumbers, and mayonnaise. The worst part was that I couldn’t even take off any components of the sandwich, as there…
“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” ~ Mark Twain I have watched my young cousin go from drawing nonsensical scribbles to laboring over writing each letter of a word to reading long books. She is in fifth grade now, and a few months ago, she told…
After 17 action-packed days of competition in Sochi, Russia, the 2014 Winter Olympics have come to a close. Many astonishing records were set this year, including the costliest Olympics ever. With over $50 billion in expenses, Russia made the 2014 games the most extravagant Olympics ever—bigger than London 2012, and bigger than Beijing 2008. Russia…
It’s 8 a.m. Today is S.A.T. day. No wait. It’s A.C.T. day. Nope–G.R.E. already? Oh man, that M.C.A.T. just took the wind out of my brain. We have a great system going here. Too many people? That’s no problem at all; the educational system has a way to quantify you. A way to strip away…
In a city of over eight million people, we are blessed to have a subway system that takes us to virtually any corner of the city. Taking the subway is often cheaper and faster than trying to navigate a car on busy city streets or trying to hail a cab during rush hour. It may…
The Edward Snowden leaks unleashed a firestorm of controversy and debate over the extent of NSA spying. With an increasing number of young, Internet-savvy Americans praising Snowden’s actions, the controversy reveals a significant generational gap regarding online rights. Many people in Washington argue that collecting data is necessary for anti-terrorism efforts and national security, but…
Pancakes. Pancakes are a gift from the culinary gods. They are so versatile and are beckoning for toppings, but if you’re a purist, you can eat them plain with a little bit of maple syrup, of course. Before I go any further with this review, I just have to issue out a disclaimer: there is…
At 11 p.m. last night, I realized that I had not started any of my homework. I had been on my computer for hours, so I must have accomplished something, right? I read the news in a digestible format, laughed along and sympathized with “16 Things Only People With Unique Names Would Understand” (Moette Nehama…
This past weekend, I spent a great day in Williamsburg with my mom. Whenever I am able to come to this hipster haven, there are two locations that are always on my hit list: The Meatball Shop and Oddfellows Ice Cream Company. These places are perfect for a relatively cheap meal in an increasingly expensive…
