“There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say…a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, ‘I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.’ To which the more intelligent type of reformer willContinue reading “The Fence”

Responsibility
“I am responsible,” are the most important words that will reverberate through our minds. Therein lies so much power.
The #1 BBQ in Texas!
This was such a fun video. You can tell they are living their best life. Mr. Zhou always has some great edits and shots.
This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I eventually made it home from Nashville. I took a flight from hell with little-to-no AC again (JetBlue), trapped in a seat with parents who had zero control over their children. (And these were not babies— we understand babies). The mom kept shrieking next to me, “MOMMY IS DOING HER BESTTTTT!” IContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26”
A Golden Girl Who Turned Blue
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I got to the hotel after our walking tour, I had my work cut out for me. My navy linen dress had melted onto me. My chest and arms were blue (thank you, Banana Republic). I started with makeup remover wipes, moved onto a wet towel and then, showered. My eveningsContinue reading “A Golden Girl Who Turned Blue”

After all the delays and inconveniences in getting to the city, this time learning from our tour guide Paul Whitten was the highlight of the trip. Do yourselfContinue reading “The Magic of Nashville”
Calming Hunger at the Redneck Riviera
By: Gabriela Yareliz I felt like I had wandered a desert on an empty stomach. I am being dramatic, but the heat was intense (like where the air looks squiggly). I felt alone on the street aside from the occasional screaming bachelorette party on the bike bus contraptions. I knew that a few miles fromContinue reading “Calming Hunger at the Redneck Riviera”
Where is the Stargazer’s Lounge?
By: Gabriela Yareliz My eyes were scanning a long line of taxis, empty and ready to go. JFK would never. That would be too smart. When you arrive to BNA (Nashville International Airport), you are spoiled for choice. A taxi driver signaled to me, telling me to walk to the front of the cluster (whoseContinue reading “Where is the Stargazer’s Lounge?”
JetBlue (Sweat) Ghetto
By: Gabriela Yareliz We were delayed. “It’s getting hotter and hotter,” the pilot told us. So we would be delayed further because they couldn’t get the plane to cool with external units. *collective sigh from the cohort of southbound travelers* The plane had no functioning AC on the ground. The day wasn’t even sweltering. ItContinue reading “JetBlue (Sweat) Ghetto”
