A Much Needed Thanksgiving Break!
Nov. 27, 2012—Thanksgiving time is always a great break from college life where I get a chance to spend a whole week back on Long Island, putting off my worries about finals for a bit. After midterms and papers during early November, Thanksgiving break provides a much needed time to recharge. My flights for this break were...
It’s always fun to give thanks
Nov. 25, 2012—This past week was Thanksgiving break and I had a totally awesome time even though I wasn’t able to go home! That is one of the pitfalls of being an international student—since you live so far away, it is difficult to see your family during short-term breaks like Thanksgiving. But, that means that you can go home with friends (or in my case, my boyfriend) and get to experience the fun that is Thanksgiving in a different setting...

Feasting: Commence!
Nov. 24, 2011—The Macy’s Parade is over, the grandparents have arrived, and food preparations are in high gear. The oven has been turned on for the homestretch – –This is where I suddenly break to comment that a Kohl’s advertisement just came on to the modified strains of Rebecca Black’s “Friday.” Why is that okay? – -of...
My 18 Thanksgivings
Nov. 18, 2010—Woah it got cold fast in Nashville! It was 75 last week, and now I’m in a sweater and boots! The Holiday season is among us… It is also the season of eating, eating a lot! During this past week I think I have had, or at least had the opportunity to have about 18...
