Hannah & Julie
roommates, technically adults, writers on the side.
We’re heading towards the one-month semester marker, and this is where I usually start to get overwhelmed. I am overwhelmed. Is everybody overwhelmed? It seems like everyone I run into on campus is always just slightly out of breath. Hey, how are you? I’m great, SO busy though. Let’s get coffee sometime if I’m not …
Big news, guys, this blog is turning 2! In blog years, that means it’s 21. We (Hannah and Julie) are also 21, so all three of us are going to the bar as soon as we’re done writing this post. (Yes, we can now write about going to the bar without tarnishing our reputations to …

Guys, there’s only one thing that gets Hannah and me through each week. It’s a glorious hour every Sunday from 9 to 10 pm. We keep this in the backs of our minds and it carries us through the Monday-Friday drudgery, come hell or high water or finals. If Sunday was a never-ending tunnel of …
“Oh, so you’re an English major? Do you, uh, plan on getting a job when you graduate?” –Something more than three people have actually said to me in the last six months. You know how Harry Potter was destined to save the wizarding world from evil? Well, I was destined to become an English major. …
When Julie and I started hanging out after we first moved into college, I noticed that she says a lot of funny things. Actually, first I noticed that she wears a lot of black tank tops. (She has literally thousands of black tank tops.) Then I noticed that she says a lot of funny things. I …
My friends, I am tired. I also just ate an entire Hershey’s bar in under three minutes. That’s a personal record. So Jules and I made this promise to each other when we started this whole blogging business that we could each have one cop-out post. That cop-out post could include a fun video, joke, song, etc. …
You know the feeling when you finish a really good book? Or a really good series of books? It’s happy and sad and emotional to the point where it’s physically uncomfortable. Those characters that you know so well have grown up, moved on, or if it’s Shakespeare then they’ve all died. (But only lunatics read …
“Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.” -William Shakespeare So I opened with a Shakespeare quote.
