I got my wisdom teeth taken out on Monday. It wasn’t exactly a David-After-Dentist situation–in fact, I wasn’t even particularly loopy–but I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the Snapchats that document my post-surgery experience and figured I’d share here too. Each picture only lasted 24 hours on the app, but this post is presumably forever.…
“My alarm went off at 7:35 AM. I always set it ten minutes before I actually have to be up. I’ve found that ten minutes is the perfect amount of time to pretend the real world doesn’t exist before deciding I’m ready to face it. I plopped my feet on the floor and padded downstairs…
New year, new reading list. This year, after reading a post at Cynk’s blog, I’m taking on the Read Harder Challenge. I’ve committed to completing 24 book-related challenges. Gamification of personal goals is a huge motivator for me, and even though I didn’t meet my Goodreads goal of 30 books in 2014, I’m setting that same goal…
I met Heidi at summer camp at the University of Oregon in 2008, roughly 6 1/2 years ago. We’ve been good friends for years, despite us always living three hours apart. Sometimes we won’t talk for months, but we always pick back up where we left off, which is a sign of a true best…
I started Victim To Charm at the beginning of 2014. One of my resolutions was to “try blogging.” You can tell by the way I worded that goal that I doubted my likelihood to stick with it. Yet 163 posts later, here we are. I started out writing once or sometimes twice each week, primarily…
Millions of people travel by plane during the December holidays. If you’re one of them, you know it can be stressful and overwhelming. Planning transportation in advance can reduce anxiety about keeping your perfect itinerary. Any easy option is renting a car at the airport using a rideshare rental service (which can often be cheaper than a…
My Blogging Secret Santa absolutely hit the nail on the head. I got the email from my college’s mail service that I had a package, and I went to pick it up. It contained Paper Towns by John Green. John Green was a large fixture in my younger adolescence. He was a huge role model for…
And it was (almost) all yellow.
I don’t like Christmas. I don’t exactly dislike Christmas, but I definitely don’t like it either. For some, that seems like blasphemy, but for the past few years I’ve found it increasingly difficult to get in the “Christmas spirit.” I honestly wouldn’t feel any sense of loss if I quit celebrating the holiday entirely. I’m just not emotionally attached…
