Writing Again
I’ve always been really proud in my ability to write. At every stage of schooling, English was my favorite subject, because it meant that I got to be graded on something I both was good at and enjoyed doing. As I entered college and my writing became more controlled by the journalism program (technical writing…

Home (quarantine edition)
So much of my identity involves getting on planes or in cars and going places. That’s at least part of the reason that every time I come back to this slice of internet, it’s because I want to share where I’ve been and what it made me feel. In 2020, obviously, there’s very little opportunity…

Los Angeles (again!)
Ah, the Angeles of the Los. What a place. Especially in February when you live in Ohio and are studying for the bar exam. My entanglement with this pretty city has been well documented on this particular stretch of internet, and our long-distance love affair will probably continue in perpetuity. My brother is living and…

Warrensburg
This thing has sat dormant for a minute (year and a half?) now, which would boggle the mind of 19-year-old me who started writing on this weekly as a college assignment. If anyone’s still reading this, my apologies for the delay. The interwebs have told me that the first time I paid for the domain…

Israel (round two)
Nothing like some good international travel to gain some perspective, am I right? The more places I go, the more I like to come back rather than go somewhere new, because every time I revisit somewhere, I find something I hadn’t seen before. This trip back to Israel was just like that. Being able to…

New York at Christmas
The new year is here, and accordingly things have been insane in the great city of Chicago. School is back, the Law School Musical is in full swing, rowing is trucking along, and I’m competing in the Miss Chicago/Miss Windy City pageant in exactly seven days (!!!). Rewind, though, to just before Christmas, when I…

Georgia (Callaway Gardens)
The only thing I love more than traveling is traveling for cheap, so when I was endlessly pestered by my good friend to apply for our law school trip to Israel last year with the promise that all I’d pay for is my flight, travel insurance, and $150 program fee, I was so down. That…

Boston in the Fall
Probably the top reason I enjoy being in school is fall break. A beautiful, glorious two days of not class in the middle of our already pretty short fall quarter, and I got to spend it doing almost nothing on my parents’ couch in Boston. Boston and I don’t have a great relationship, mainly because I…

Los Angeles
Ever since I first visited Los Angeles as a college sophomore wannabe actress, I’ve wanted to live there. This summer, as a soon-to-be law school third year wannabe lawyer, I got my chance. I spent 10 weeks as a resident of the City of Angels. It taught me a lot about myself, about the legal…

Wine on the Chicago River
My goal for this spring is to experience something new every week. Week one was drinking wine in one of these: I love Chicagoist.com for many reasons, but right now it’s mostly because it introduced me to the City Winery River Domes. Basically they set up these big plastic bubbles near the river, give you a bluetooth…

Israel
If there’s anywhere in the world I thought I’d never, ever go, it’s probably the Middle East. Don’t get me wrong, I love experiencing different things, but I’ve always had this apprehension of the Middle East being so far different from anything I’ve ever experienced that I just wouldn’t be able to enjoy my time…

San Antonio
Man oh man. I didn’t think I’d have a post about good ol’ San Antone on this thing, well, ever. I went to high school in San Antonio, and my family lived there until my junior year of high school. It is the place of my most vivid and some of my fondest memories. It…
