If you’re vigilant about eating right to help beautify your outsides, then you’ve probably heard how important it is to eat plants rich in vitamins and minerals. As a vegetarian who is almost vegan (I will never give up my poached eggs!), I already eat a mostly plant-based diet. For the most part, I’ve given […]
I love to cook and bake. Both of my parents are really good cooks, and I grew up learning to cook from taste rather than recipes. I really enjoy the calming effects of preparing my own food, and it is also a great way to eat healthier and save money! So today I want to start […]
Happy New Year, everyone! I can’t believe it is 2016; I still write 2009 on things sometimes, so this will definitely take some getting used to. The time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is so magical and fun. Even though I had finals, I’ve been doing a lot of things and celebrating lots of special […]
I feel like every post I’ve drafted this weekend starts off by saying that summer is over, and how sad I am. But I am sad and summer is over, so sue me! I did just have an amazing weekend on the Cape with my family, though, so hopefully that will tide me over at least […]
I am sad, guys. I am sitting here with a massive bowl of soggy cereal, looking up my course book lists. Vacation is over. Nine beautiful days on the Cape, and we are home again. At least the weather was terrible today, so we didn’t feel like the Cape was mocking us for leaving. I’ll […]
I hope everyone had a good weekend! I had a totally exhausting week; it is so hard to walk around on a boot cast! None of my shoes are the same height as the boot, so after about a day, my back was all uneven, which is super uncomfortable. You know, in addition to the […]
Less than a week left in Israel, and less than two weeks until Boston. Oh, Boston. My city, my home, my heart. If you’ve read my first few posts on this blog, you know how I feel about my hometown. I dedicated the first ever post to my city after the bombing, and how proud […]
As of today, I have three weeks left in Israel. I can’t decide if I’m more devastated to leave, or thrilled to come home. I find the promise of family, friends, holiday cheer, and my own car and bed to be very alluring, but I can’t imagine leaving the people I’ve come to love here […]
It’s true what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. A few hiccups aside, I am beyond happy here, and dreading it all ending. That being said, here are a few photos post-North Trip through Halloween and the past week or so… Breakfast for dinner obviously means mimosas. Enjoying beach weekends… thank god for […]
So far, things are pretty great here. My classes are interesting, I’ve made some great friends, and have been taking advantage of everything Tel Aviv has to offer. But this isn’t a Tel Aviv post. Last weekend, my program took us on a trip to northern Israel. It was so nice to be back in […]
