As you may well know, Phia is vegan. I am not. However, I've always been intrigued by the ideas and benefits of veganism. But I've lacked the conviction and courage to do it, especially because..... GIVE UP ICE CREAM?!? AND DAIRY? AND BURGERS?? O.O Now, I'm going to be frank, I'm not one to really restrict my diet. Phia will tell you, I...

The holiday season is usually a time for being "home". They say home is where the heart is, but who really knows what that means?

It's not until you reach the end of your life that you ponder your beginnings... And we've reached the end. The end of every college student's life-- FINALS WEEK. That's right. It's happening. Since we may well lose our lives to the mighty dragon that is Finals Week, we look back and wish that we had done more, seen more, and remembered more...
