An important aspect of my college wardrobe is the sorority gear that quickly began to accumulate after I joined a sorority freshman year. And it isn't just me. Girls all over campus are always sporting Greek gear - from Bid Day t-shirts, to long-sleeve tees advertising upcoming events, to sporty pinnies supporting philanthropic causes, to comfy sweatshirts with appliqued Greek...

The Has-Unforgivably-Weird-Parents Crush
I am not a believer in the idea that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” I hope to never have someone hold my parents against me, so I try not to do that to others. That being said, there are limits.
I have dated the Has-Unforgivably-Weird-Parents Crush. It is bad news. There are definitely levels of weird parents… His...

1. Befriend the Halal Cart Man. Maybe even get a tour of his kitchen. Maybe even pose for photos.
2. Pet the lobsters in the tank at Westside.
3. Work off the slice of Koronets and Westside Peanut Butter Cup Cookie you just ate. Don't stress that Dodge is closed at 4am; there are countless stationary bikes along Broadway. (Note: This works best when the bike is locked to a street sign...

Last weekend called for a celebration. It was my mom’s birthday—an excellent excuse for her to have someone cook for her instead of doing the work herself. However, restaurants near our home in New Jersey did not suffice—the occasion warranted a trip into the city for a nice, sophisticated dinner in...
