Dear Eliana, I thought that by living in an apartment with a kitchen, I would be able to have better control over my diet. Instead of having to rely on what’s being served at Sherman or Usdan, I could just cook my own food. Little did I know that I actually had to know how […]
Winter is over and spring is here; is everyone happy? It’s the end of what most people would consider the harshest season to weather while living in New England, and presumably it’ll be nothing but sunny days, leafy trees, nice breezes and tiny flowers. And for much of the time, it’ll be exactly that. But […]

When I walk into Usdan to get lunch, I am inevitably annoyed by the lack of silverware and the vast array of plastic utensils. There are massive containers dedicated to dispensing plastic forks, spoons and knives one-by-one. Yet, there are tiny containers with maybe 20 or so spoons, forks and knives made of actual metal. […]
It seems like it was just yesterday: anxiously entering my dorm room for the first time, saying goodbye to my parents and desperately trying to acclimate to my new surroundings. It seemed as though the end of the year was unfathomably far off, a tiny speck on the ever so distant horizon. It is difficult […]
