If you’re anything like me, the onset of winter weather means one thing: hibernation. For those days and nights when you can’t even fathom opening the door to get the mail, Netflix is your salvation. Forget the stinging of the midwinter wind on your cheeks – instead, go for the stinging of your eyes as your […]
One of my strongest dislikes may surprise you. It’s watching award shows. Obviously I’d love nothing more than to walk a red carpet and to be up front and personal with the glitterati that comes with it, but there are few things I find as boring as watching it from home. No knock on the […]
I’m always looking for the best binge-worthy shows to add to my list on Netflix. What better way to use my time than by melting my brain with four consecutive hours of screen time? I mean, those late night hours would just be spent sleeping, anyway. Who needs that? That brings me to a few weeks […]

During her four-month run as the only female – a nameless character, at that – in the […]
When Lana Del Rey released Ultraviolence, I expected the same magic that made Born to Die the soundtrack to my semester abroad in Barcelona. By the time I arrived in Spain for my semester abroad winter of my junior year, I was hooked on Lana. As I played her songs on repeat in my stark […]
I’m just gonna say it: I never totally understood the Beyonce hype. You’re probably thinking I must be blind and/or deaf. But here’s the thing. I like her music. I think she’s beautiful.
