So when one of my favorite bloggers, Carly Heitlinger of College Prep recently posted photos of her desk as well as the desks of her friends, I was inspired to do the same. As you can see, there really isn’t much [...]

Many articles in the WSJ and NYTimes have questions like “Is College Worth It?” as though all colleges are the same, all majors are the same and all [...]
A Voter’s Conundrum: The Pennsylvania Primary
When I registered to vote as an 18 year old, I registered as a Democrat, voted in the Democratic primary and rarely voted off the Democratic ticket in the general elections.
