You missed Blindspotting! My favorite movie of 2018, hands down.

I read that you’ll be involved in a cinematic production of “Tick.... Tick.... Boom!” I’ve been a fan of the musical and Jonathan Larson since high school, so I was thrilled to hear you were coming on board. What will you be doing (acting, directing, producing) and what should fans… Read More

My husband is vegetarian, so when we got married, I had to adapt my cooking quickly! Our strategy is to shop at multiple grocery stores and price compare. We have a bulk store where we get bulk rice, eggs, beans, etc

Buffy the Vampire Slayer! She's smart and sassy and strong and vulnerable. And Once More, With Feeling perks me right up every time.

As overwhelming as being behind can be, burying your head in the sand never works. Almost everyone has their seasons of feeling a step behind everyone. Let it motivate you to catch up, and know that most professors have some grace in them, especially if life is keeping you back. If… Read More
