I went shopping with my mother yesterday at the Towson mall, which is about an hour away from our house. It's four stories, the stores are large, and it has a Cheesecake Factory. It is easily my favorite place to shop ( Read more... )

I went to see Sherlock Holmes with my mom on the 30th of December and it was fantastic! I've never read any of the books or even see a movie, but I know the basics. This was a really neat way to be introduced into the world of Sherlock Holmes, which is what I think they intended. RDJ was especially fantastic, though I have a soft spot for Rachel ( Read more... )

I've been on a roller coaster ride of emotions since Friday.

Friday morning I woke up more nervous than I was for my driver's test. Friday at noon was when they were going to post the Collegian results of who got interviews and who didn't. Because I don't have class until afternoon on Fridays, I preoccupied myself as long as I could with laundry and ( Read more... )

I have a new appreciation for the phrase "TGIF" now.

This week has been absolutely crazy. I feel like I'm always running off to something -- class, dinner, a meeting. The first couple days my only relaxing time was sleep. I definitely like it better here than Altoona, but there are some things I miss, like being able to go back to my room between ( Read more... )

This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen, grew up believing that he’d never truly be happy until the day he met the one. The girl, Summer Finn, did not share this belief. You should know up front this is not a love story.

I loved this movie. It made me feel better. For so long I've been picturing my future one way and if I think of it ( Read more... )

I was fifteen years old the first time I watched the Breakfast Club, the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of high school. Like most fifteen year olds, I thought I was an entity unto myself. Nobody understood me. Nobody had ever liked a boy who was out of their league like I had the previous school year. John Hughes showed me that I ( Read more... )

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But ( Read more... )

I finally got around to seeing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.  It seems like the whole world (aka my friends page on facebook) went to the midnight showing or the following evening.

I thought it was the best one yet. True, it left out chunks. Most of Tom Riddle's past is the one that comes to mind the most. But I'm okay without that being ( Read more... )

I'm currently in the process of cleaning up my iTunes. Truth be told, it's been a work in progress for more than a year, but every time I get close to straightening it out I download a bunch of new songs that I don't really like or that don't have proper album artwork and I'm back to square one. I've been really anal about my iPod since I got it. ( Read more... )
