There are very few things that make me laugh. No, let me rephrase. There are very few things that make me really laugh. Out loud, and not just to myself. Laugh so hard that tears come out of my eyes and I have to run to the bathroom. I know that if that happens, I’ve [...]
According to Urban Dictionary, a hipster is definied as “a subculture of men and women typically in their 20′s and 30′s that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter”.

As I’m sure none of you know, today marks the 20th anniversary of a very important day in my young adult life. Twenty years ago on this day, I had been 13 years old for a week. I was on my last half of seventh grade, patiently waiting for that crappy school year to end. [...]

Everybody loves a good dance movie. Okay, maybe not everyone. Maybe just me. I love movies about dancing. I’m not talking about movies where dancing takes place, I’m talking about movies that are specifically about the art of dancing. These movies are rarely Oscar-worthy (excluding Black Swan, which I haven’t even seen yet, so I won’t [...]
Once again that time has come, the time where we say goodbye to another year and hello to one full of hope and promise. Back in the day, the turning of a new year used to be a huge deal to me. My friends and I would always reflect on all the fun stuff that [...]
