ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
We thank Odegaard Undergraduate Library for comfortably housing the author during all of those frantic nights of writing, especially after her personal laptop stopped functioning.
Many thanks to the Rotunda Cafe for the constant supply of coffee and cookies, which were ultimately responsible for inspiring the bulk of this manuscript.
We are indebted to all of the friends who put up with the...

conflicted, tired, unhappily belittled, hopeful, and a little lost, but not necessarily in a bad way.
can’t wait to move out of the dreary, hostile place my apartment has become. someone slay me now, or keep me company as i live my days in the library/ima/lab.
can wait to graduate. what will i miss more? classes? profs? walking through campus? free access to pubmed? the sense of security...

hi, be my friend.
You are cordially invited:
A tour of my thoughts. Attend, be attentive. We will perch upon a lofty ledge, swing our feet, conversate. No need to politely RSVP on a monogrammed card. Drift on in at your convenience, out on your whim.
No hors d’oeuvers, no intriguingly earthy wine, But should you tire of me, Remind me to pause, ponder, and listen. Refreshments provided.
Watch
Taylor Swift - Safe And Sound
hi Taylor Swift. Normally I don’t like your music, but I watched this because I like the Hunger Games and The Civil Wars. Nicely done, lady. :)

While visiting LA recently, I found my mecca: Cafe Gratitude.
Each item on the menu is an affirmation (I ordered the I AM EXTRAORDINARY (meal) & the I AM WORTHY (juice). After each order, the waiter confirms this truth with a “yes, you are” or an “I know it!”.
I AM EXTRAORDINARY! …and…

One month we’re telling the world we’re thankful for what we have, the next month we’re telling the world what we want. Then we resolve to change our ways, and it’s the new year.
May your holiday be merry and bright, and your cheer continue regardless of the season. <3
My twenty-something cousin asked what I wanted for Christmas. I told him a poem “about anything.” This is the result, inspired by the perpetually waving maneki neko I got him last year:
“Ode to the Beckoning Cat” They say you are beckoning, But not by my reckoning, Because of your motion, Which is tied to commotion The commotion of concerts, With arms and hands...

Make candles!
You don’t need wax or anything fancy — just a couple of matches and a carefully hallowed out tangerine will do. I also used a tiny cookie cutter to make the snazzy cut-out on top…
…but you can make…
