NYTimes’ “The Choice” blog has an interesting piece titled “Remembering When College Was a Buyer’s Bazaar” which contrasts university admissions policies and practices between the late 1800s to now. For example, did you know that top universities such as Harvard and Columbia used to advertise for students right up to opening day and offered entrance […]

We’re all adults here…right? Here’s something interesting I found yesterday: an interactive map of the world’s average penis sizes, categorized by country (click on map to view).

Since 1900, there have been six generations in the United States: G.I., Silent, Boomer, X, Millennial, and Z. While most people identify with one generation, I have the luck of having been born during a generational overlap — between X and Millennial. Could you have guessed this based on what social trends influenced me while […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
