I will throw an avocado at you next time.

To The Mean, Mean Old Man Who Works at Stop & Shop And Supervises, Nay, Hovers About The Self-Checkout Aisles With Totally Unnecessary Fervor,

Nobody is in line behind me. Stop shouting out instructions. Stop angrily bagging my groceries. I was going to bag them myself, but you didn't give me the chance, and now I'm left with the bitter aftertaste of your hateful scowl. Let me scroll through the produce menu until I find the avocado that best resembles the actual avocado I have in front of me. Don't rush me. I am in the self-checkout aisle because I don't want cranky bastards like you interfering with my shopping experience. I hate so much about the things you choose to be.

Love,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Student Who Only Patrons The Store You Work At Because It's Right Across The Street And My Feet Hurt And Dammit I Want To Eat Dinner Before The Premiere Of The Office Starts.

Get your coffee at this hidden gem!

I was walking to the gym (I joined a gym!) down Harvard street when I spotted a cute little cafe. There were sofas and hipster artwork on the walls, and I wondered if this was one of Boston's secret spots, tucked away just a few blocks from my apartment. Then I looked up...AND IT WAS STARBUCKS!

What a mind fuck!

Fact: In Argentina, as well as many other countries, it is considered rude to eat while taking public transportation. After watching a man on the T shove cracker after cracker into his greedy maw, I think I now understand why.

Fact: If you stay up two hours past your intended bedtime watching funny condom commercials on YouTube, you may fall asleep with a nagging guilt that maybe you are not spending your time wisely. Especially if you'd already seen half the videos the last time you did this.

Fact (my, this is a tiresome format): I rode the T all the way from Coolidge Corner to Boylston without hearing anybody speak English once. Who needs to travel when you live in one of the world's greatest cultural nexuses? It is good to be back, people.
