Hannah & Julie
roommates, technically adults, writers on the side.
“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.” – Paul Theroux I’ve had no less than six people ask me how Julie is doing in Ireland since she left last Tuesday. This flatters me. I’m like the world’s unofficial Julie Abroad Reporter. I’ve texted her almost every day, Skyped her once, …
Some of you may know that Hannah and I are studying abroad this spring semester. It seems like all we’ve been talking about during casual conversation on holidays for the past few months. It’s like we’re about to start college all over again, only this is way scarier. At the mention of our leaving, plenty …
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMp896hfp74] If you’re a girl between the ages of 11 and 18, or if you have a daughter between the ages of 11 and 18, or if you’re not technically in the target teenage girl demographic but you’re still a fan of young-adult-novels-turned-movies, goddammit, then there’s a chance you’ve seen If I Stay. If …
These people have watched me through most of this process. Until they start a blog that requires you to post every Monday, I’ll bet most people are not familiar with the pure, unadulterated panic that courses through you when your roommate asks you, “so what are you going to post about today?” I’ve been living by …
(Note: I wrote this post last night around 11:45. It’s a little all over the place, but it’s raw and emotional, you know? A glimpse at what finals do to the psyche.

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 …
I think fate tapped me on the shoulder and said, hey, you should blog about yoga this week. A few things happened recently. Julie and I got our caricatures done, as pictured above. (The guy was this close on the blog name. If only we’d switched seats.) I made a scene in my favorite Bikram …
Last night I volunteered to pick up a shift at work for a friend, because I am the best. I was already scheduled to work 9-11:30 and then again from 12:30-2, but I thought hey, what’s a few more hours? I don’t have anything else to be doing. Those, my friends, are the thoughts 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. …
Post by: Heather Krill Thank you Hannah and Julie for allowing me to be your guest blogger! All I wanted for my 40th birthday was to travel some place warm and sunny to relax with my friends. Ten other women from different chapters of my life joined me in Fort Lauderdale for a weekend of …
