What I love most about living in India is being able to wear saris. It’s fantastic since I don’t look like I’m getting ready for Halloween when I wear one here. Saris are just so pretty. They’re also a bitch to get on. It’s six yards, SIX YARDS, of fabric wrapped around you. Try walking …

You people and your suits make me nervous. Interviewer: That’s what they’re for. Don’t tell anyone. Take a seat, and thank you for taking time to come in. Applicant: …
You buy gallons of ice cream from the supermarket because it’s cheaper. You go an entire weekend at home without eating all the ice cream in the fridge.

But then, you have those moments when all cultural and language barriers align together in such brutal perfection that you may never live down the embarrassment. So here we go, … Continue reading
I recently downloaded one of those fancy news apps that gives you real-time updates about news around the world. This, as I’ve realized, is probably the most self-harming thing one can do to themselves. Now, everyday, every hour practically, I get bombarded with the most useless information. “Kylie Jenner just went Platinum Blonde!” What? Why would … Continue reading

Stage 1: The Euphoria You’re so happy, practically ecstatic at all your free time. The things you can do with all this time on your hands! *summersaults* Stage 2: The Ego You are the ONLY one without work on the entire floor, you must be pretty damn awesome to finish so quickly. You MUST be … Continue reading
My last plan didn’t exactly work out so well. What was the plan you ask? It went a little like this: Step 1: Forgo all notions of freedom, and sign up for a fancy graduate program that will send me into a Grand-Canon-sized amount of debt (aka the only kind of legal slavery still prevalent) … Continue reading
