My Experiences with Ferguson
Dec. 20, 2014—My posts are usually fun and lighthearted; however, this one will be a more serious and addresses an issue very near and dear to me. This semester I got heavily involved with Ferguson and would like to share my experiences as both a student on campus and as a protester.
Fast Times at McGill High (Numero Dos)
Dec. 20, 2014—The most stereotypically McGill-esque events have been the three coffeehouses/open mic nights this semester. During these marathons of outlets of unrestrained creative expression that last from 7 pm to well past midnight, the real McGill comes out.
Swanky Girls Night: Holiday Edition
Dec. 20, 2014—If there is anything that you should know about my group of girl friends, it's that we are bursting with swagger and class. The best way to celebrate this level of swagger is through festive gatherings, something that my friend Vicky and I know all too well. That is why when Vicky texted me over Thanksgiving Break proposing the co-hosting of a holiday get-together of the swanky girls, the only possible answer was "absolutely."
Dance Marathon: For The Kids
Dec. 19, 2014—One incredible thing I’ve gotten involved with this semester is Dance Marathon, an organization that works to plan events and fundraise for Monroe Carrell Jr. Children’s Hospital. Read about the great service I get to be a part of!

I’ll check in with y’all as I do them for accountability. Help me out. Make me stick to it please.
Just Another Manic Monday
Dec. 19, 2014—Experience the exciting conclusion to a day of the week that is mondane but certainly not mundane!
Monday Monday so Good to Me
Dec. 19, 2014—Mondays: you either hate them or you really hate them. Just like gender and sexuality, I don’t believe in such a polarizing angsty Monday-themed binary. For me and “The Mamas and the Papas”, Monday is “so good to me” and “all I hoped it would be”. To redeem Monday’s status, let’s go on a journey chronicling a (Mon)day in the life of one Jose Palmer.
A Weekend to End All Weekends (Part II)
Dec. 19, 2014—It is now Saturday. I wake up naturally at the absolutely wondrous time of noon to light gently pouring through my fourth-story windows, filtered by some positively green trees. Life is good.
