Boston in Snapchat

Now you’ve seen my spring break trip to Boston through Instagram and had an in-depth look at the Museum of Fine Arts and the North End.

Bye, Wisdom Teeth

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.

1. If I’m up at 8am when I don’t have class until 11. 2. If I’m wearing a dress or skirt to class. 3. If that dress or skirt is covered in lint. 4. If I find myself questioning whether red is “light” or “dark.” 5. If I’m sweating profusely while climbing up the stairs.…

The Boys of Tinder

You’ve already read about the time my Tinder date pulled out a gun, but that night was relatively late in my Tinder “career.” Before I even considered meeting anyone I met on the app, I flicked through a ton of guys and had conversations with a good handful. A lot of those people were really…

So you’ve decided you are going to travel to Europe this summer. Congrats! Maybe you’re not the 1%, but you’re at least part of the wealthiest 5% of Americans. You deserve to celebrate that.
