My college roommate Phil once told wrote, “nothing changes on New Years Day.”

There are times that sheer laziness challenges social norms.
I spent last Saturday night in, trying to recover from Emily’s housewarming party the night before. My lazy Saturday also included an inclination to not cook dinner so I ordered a meal from Moby Dick’s House of Kabobs. The restaurant’s proximity [...]

It’s the new midlife crisis.
It’s become hip and cool to joke about the “quarterlife crisis.” The “oh shit” moment when you realize you aren’t in college any more; the fear and uncertainty that have fueled many applications to grad school; the little things that make you realize that you are no longer 21- and that [...]
