My Thanksgiving this year was a little…different. The week before, my dad (who suffers from a medical condition that has a huge impact on his balance and movement) fell in the driveway and separated his shoulder and snapped a few tendons. Not exactly a pleasant experience for him or for the rest of my family. [...]

Last weekend’s Nor’easter come early sent my hometown in Connecticut into the dark. Indeed, in several text messages from my mother over the course of the past five days she referred to herself as a “pioneer.” She described the scene over the course of frantic, “…”-filled texts; tree branch-filled roads, visible breath in the living [...]

The worst thing about going away is coming back to the same thing. When you live somewhere for a while, everything you do becomes part of an endless routine. You eventually become idle and let autopilot take control without even acknowledging it. I’ve always been a fan of spontaneity. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to [...]

I snapped a few pictures while I was in Italy and generally documenting my life since getting an iPhone. More photos to come as the year progresses. Post your own photos!

So true.  I love spending time with children, which I do almost every humid, sweaty day of my Connecticut summer as a day camp counselor.  When I’m away at school, I miss my little nephew most. Since I came home five days ago, he’s reminded me several times daily that he’s going to be five [...]

This past weekend, I was given an offer I couldn’t refuse.  My cousins asked me to be the godfather of their daughter—Alexandra—who will be born this August. Naturally, my first thought was, “This is going to make a great blog post.” Kidding. My first thought was, “Whaaa…me…kid… role model…what’s that you said? I can make [...]

You are now free to move about the aircraft…not really though. As I squirm in my uncomfortable high top chair and listen to the hustle and bustle mixed with the massive rainstorm ahead, I contemplate my love/hate relationships with air transportation. As of now, I am stuck in gate A9 at the Baltimore airport waiting [...]

Boy Meets World taught me a lot about life. I was talking about the show with some friends and we all agreed that people who don’t like Boy Meets World don’t have a soul. Additionally, we came to the conclusion that people who watched the show had a 96.54% better chance of turning out to [...]

Life is like a movie. That’s what I used to think. Everyone was living his or her own movie. I guess that meant that were over six billion movies developing across the world on a daily basis. I believed one was a protagonist in his own movie. Everyone had supporting characters—friends, family, random people—in their [...]

Boston is amazing. It’s everything I thought it would be; the diversity is great, the people are awesome. The shopping is unlimited and the streets and architecture are so cozy and historical.  Deciding to come to school here was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. I am from a [...]
