Related to that Buzzfeed “article” about things that are never quite the same after college
The last time I was in my college’s library, we sat in one of the second floor alcoves. He was working on his student teaching final portfolio and I was writing my last paper for that accursed Brontës seminar. I had no interest in that seminar. But it was a reading seminar rather than aContinue reading “Related to that Buzzfeed “article” about things that are never quite the same after college”

So in that regard, it always felt more like a part-time job than a service contract. Friends whoContinue reading “AmeriCorps Week”
Prodigal Daughter’s Return
On my (beautiful) drive into work this morning, I wondered what summer will be like in New Jersey. I haven’t spent a summer in New Jersey since 2010. Back then, I was working at my old library and I just purchased my car. Ally was around. I wasn’t weighed down by the responsibilites of workContinue reading “Prodigal Daughter’s Return”
