Confessions Of A Girl Who Never Sleeps: Hurricane Sandy

Kaitlyn Grimmer — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:57:53 +0000

I am blessed. My apartment was not affected my Hurricane Sandy. I never lost power — though lights did flicker several time.

My roommate and I walked around our neighborhood the next day and couldn’t believe […]

Break-ups are not awesome. They must be one of the worst things a person has to endure in a lifetime. You may think I’m being dramatic. I probably am. I was dumped a month ago. Not the we’ve-been-together-for-three-months-and-I’m-so-in-love kind-of-dumped. But the we’ve-been-together-for-over-a-year-living-together-he’s-my-best-friend kind-of-dumped.

The velociraptor breaks through the window and is working through the blinds as I open the door. He (or she — I really […]
