Hey friends. Just wanted to say thanks for being a part of my life this year. It’s so fucking weird to have friends that aren’t “real” friends but actually in some way sort of are. It’s new! As in “in the history of the world” new. Think about it: It hasn’t been all that long, really, that we as a species have been able to do this — to see into so many other lives at once and seek to...

Carnegie had been my dream school (along with Stanford) up until my Senior year. Then as I researched more colleges, my eyes started straying to the racks on racks on racks scholarships at some schools and the exotic locales of other schools (NYC!).

People are right when they say to forget about...
You are going to spend at least a hundred grand on college the next four years. What the fuck is 90 bucks? I am so applying to Stanford! :)

An easy way to pick which to use:
Lay must take a direct object. Lie happens to yourself.
You lay down all your college essays. Then, you lie in bed.
It only gets confusing when you notice the past tense of ‘lie’ is ‘lay’.

I definitely need more Train tracks.
All I have are “Drops of Jupiter” and “Hey, Soul Sister”. I know they have songs I like even better than those two.
