It was a riot.
In the last seconds of the game, an interception in the end zone sealed Penn State’s victory over Ohio State. Hundreds of screaming idiots -I among them- at Bill Pickle’s pub danced, shouted, chanted and high-fived each other. As soon as we could hear each other, Josh said something like,” let’s go riot!” Soon four [...]
Take My Hormones… Please.
I used to dream about one of my ex-boyfriends frequently. Many years after we parted ways, he would cameo on the dark stage of my subconscious mind every few weeks, sometimes for a couple of nights in a row. The dreams were always the same: we were at some kind of conference or reception in [...]
200 Hr. YTT: Hours 4-10
