Ramblings

  • Economics of Facebook

    Facebook. This singular website has substantially changed the way we communicate with the world. You can share who you are, what you like, where you are, what you’re doing, and who you’re doing. As I prepare myself for graduation, I’ve realized that Facebook, as a form of communication, changes depending on what life stage you are in. Read more

  • Off the Bone BBQ

    I’m picky with BBQ. It’s got to be legit for me to deem it worthy. I’ve had my fare share of bad BBQ restaurant experiences (including one place in New Mexico that used soy sauce in EVERYTHING. So gross.) so when I find a new BBQ place, I’m a bit skeptical. My boss took me Read more

  • The Cedars Social

    If you are looking for a swanky place to go for drinks or grab some dinner, check out The Cedars Social. On its website, it’s described as: THE CEDARS SOCIAL, LOCATED AT 1326 SOUTH LAMAR, IS A COCKTAIL DEN AND KITCHEN THAT FEATURES AN ADVENTUROUS LIST OF HANDCRAFTED COCKTAILS DEVELOPED BY ONE OF THE NATIONS Read more

  • the Best Enchiladas Ever

    So for those of you who don’t know, I am currently interning at bigInk PR with their real estate services division. bigInk caters to restauranteurs in Texas, primarily in the DFW area. I get to shadow their tenant rep who finds space for some pretty trendy eateries (and by “shadow” I mean I get free food at Read more

  • Amazing Grace

    Growing up in a Christian home, the word “grace” has always been a household word. I always knew what grace was and knew that God’s grace applied to everyone, including me. However, recently I have come to realize that knowing something is different than truly understanding something. I know that I’m forgiven and God shows Read more

  • A Historical Conviction

    As you may or may not know, I am a history buff. I love learning about different generations, eras, wars, cultures, etc. They truly fascinate me. So it was very exciting when I was granted membership into the Highland Park Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Membership into this exclusive organization is only given to Read more

  • The Faint of Heart

    “I know that life is a doorway to eternity, and yet my heart so often gets lost in petty anxieties. It forgets the great way home that lies before it. Unprepared, given over to childish trivialities, it could be taken by surprise when the great hour comes and find that, for the sake of piffling pleasures, Read more

  • My Top 6 Disney Leading Men

    Or more appropriately titled, “My Top Animated Male Characters from Disney/Dreamworks Movies”, but the former is shorter. So I was reading an article on HelloGiggles where a blogger listed her Top 5 Disney men and I disagreed with 4 out of 5 of them (Peter Pan, really? Its basically pedophilia.). So I decided to come up with Read more

  • Looking for the Intellectual

    I’m currently taking a cultural formations class entitled, “The Intellectual and Social History of Europe from 1780 to Present”. We mainly discuss the role intellectuals have played in society. Topics have ranged from coal miners strikes to the development of the atomic bomb. Despite the insane amount of reading required for this class (we have Read more

  • A Look Into The Life of a Twin

    Being a twin is something that no one will ever understand unless, of course, you are one. You will never know what it feels like to share your entire childhood with someone. You share experiences, an environment, and, in my case, most of your physical appearance. Being a twin is probably the most important thing Read more
