Parents (Don't) Know Best
Another chapter in my life will soon come to an end, sigh. I am neither excited nor depressed. I try not to get too worked up over life because although I am always thinking, planning, and researching my future, I know everything will fall into place. I just know it, but I wish my parents felt as comfortable as I am.
Last week, I got into a mild argument with my parents about what I was going to...

It’s amazing that there is only one place where you can find them all. It’s called college, and I can’t imagine myself without it now that I am almost finished. Graduation will be a very sad day.

WINGS
Today, I emailed the Daily Orange on why they should pick me for their Wings Competition. I didn’t win Homecoming King, but I want to put my face out there again. I hope they understand my love for wings.

college nights

I’m perfectly content with that, even if there are some syllabus parties going on at this moment.

I have never arrived into a new life yet. Have you? Do you find the squeak of boots on snow excruciating? Have you heard people say, It wasn’t me when they accomplished a great feat? I have, often. But rarely.

Not only did they ditch their pennies, dimes and quarters at the checkpoints, but they also left behind foreign currency … The total numbers have been pretty consistent, although trend slightly upward. In 2008 the total was $364,000 and 2009 was $399,000.
Here are some of the numbers for the U.S.’s biggest airports:
