“And who are you going to stay with in Croatia?” my mom asked me, at around 1am, Paris time. I was supposed to be packing or cleaning. I left my apartment for the very last time, and set off for the airport at 4:30 on Monday morning. “Nobody. It’s just me.” Knowing her, knowing me, […]
Hello, dear readers. Today is 20sb Blog Swap day. Members of the lovely 20 Something Bloggers community have gotten together to write posts and trade blogs for the day. The assignment was to write about our favorite childhood summer vacation but I’ve never been good at reading the instructions and just thought we were writing […]
As my departure from Europe is now imminent, and classes are finally over leaving me on several weeks of actual vacation (ZOMG WHAT IS THIS?) before I start writing my thesis (EW), I went out to Rennes, France this weekend. The Thursday vlogger for The Expat Chronicles lives near there, and since we know my […]
The other day I was thinking to myself, “This blog is beginning to sound like I’m getting my shit together. Graduating and not falling in gutters? This girl is like a real person!” This is obviously false. I’m not sure what being a real adult actually looks like, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t include […]
You may have noticed a trend in my decision to post or not post videos from The Expat Chronicles to this blog, namely that my cross-posting decision is really a question of, “Do I actually like this video?” This week’s topic is kind of just us talking about us, so I’m not sure how much […]

I have begun to experience my life in tweet form, and it makes blogging feel a tad impossible. I end up with a few dozen stories that I’d like to share, each in 140 characters or less. Forgive me if this lack of focus is evident. As my final project for the course I am […]
I have a whole hell of a lot of super blonde hair that I do approximately nothing with. It’s an accomplishment if I brush it. This hair calls attention to itself everywhere. Even back in Missouri, some of the middle school students in my classes (during my stint as a substitute teacher) called me Ms. […]
Moving out of my apartment and heading off to Morocco meant more time with one of my most despised activities: packing. I’m sure I have blogged about my hatred of packing a lot before. Or, at least, I am sure that I have thought to myself, “I should blog that,” many times while mentally drafting […]
Yesterday I moved out of my apartment. My apartment saga has been something of a character in my life in Paris, so it seems necessary to mention that here. I am actually a little sorry — regardless of what my last post says — for all of the introspective endings and beginnings and life in transition crap that is […]
