By Maya Mabern It’s getting a bit colder and my favorite holiday of the year is approaching: Thanksgiving. Much like my love for my second-favorite holiday, the Fourth of July, my reasoning has absolutely nothing to do with the origins of the celebration — I’m never actually in the mood to be patriotic — and […]

The weekends feel like any other weekday. It’s insane to believe the beginning of this different part of our lives started […]
Read More →By Maya Frankel November is among us, and with that came a huge decision: to start celebrating the holiday season on Nov. 1 or to wait until after Thanksgiving. I chose to begin the holiday celebration on Nov. 1. Because we’ve already seen snow, I think it is only fitting to break out the holiday […]

Unfortunately, my “break” was thwarted by a visit to […]
Read More →By Katherine Wright It’s freezing cold, you’re surrounded by a group of people who swear by the runner’s high, you’re wearing a neon yellow shirt labeled “Turkey Trot 2019” and the only thing that stands in the way between you and an all-you-can-eat feast is a 3.1 mile run.
