This week I’ve decided to write my blog in a slightly different style. I call it “Flu Season: a Drama in Five Parts.”   Part 1: Denial I’m not sick. I can’t be sick. I’ve taken all the feasible preventative measures to make sure I don’t get sick. I’m not sick, because my lungs aren’t burning. That’s […]

Long distance relationships are bad news and to be avoided at all costs. Too bad you’re already in one.   Sorry, that was a bit presumptuous. Maybe I should explain myself.   Everyone warns you to break up with your significant other before college, because no one wants to be tied down by a long […]

When my parents found out I’d started going to counseling again in October, they were more than a little surprised. My grades were high, I had a lot of friends and I was getting involved in different organizations, so what was the problem? One of my reasons was simply that going to counseling helps me […]

This is an angry blog. It was written at the height of rage at 1:30 a.m. I call it, “An Open Letter to My Upstairs Neighbors.” Not that this fact will in any way bruise the mass of narcissism and belligerence which rests where your hearts once allegedly did, but I have decided that I […]
