I hope everyone's week is going well! Things are starting to get busy around here, but somehow I'm still relishing in the free time. Today, I finished a networking event and realized I had NOTHING to do and a can of chickpeas in the fridge. Normally, cooking is for the weekends, but the opportunity was … Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Hummus
Hi!! I'm back with this week's adventure. I'll admit, there's not much of an adventure this week.

Let's … Continue reading Eat Unique! Testing the Impossible Burger

We are by no means crazy rich, but I've never had to go without ANYTHING. If I wanted something, chances are, … Continue reading First Week Reflections: A Challenge

Of course, there's also the mainstays like Pirmanti's (actually only about 2 miles from campus!). However, since it is a celebratory dinner, we opted for something more upscale. A quick … Continue reading Floor 2: A Taste of Pittsburgh
I'm BACK!!!!! This summer's been one of the best. Admittedly, I didn't do much, so there isn't much of an update there. But, I got to really chill and squeeze in as much family/Shanghai time as possible before heading off to college. Speaking of college..... I MOVED IN!!!! Yep! I'm officially a Tartan! Everything went … Continue reading College Life starts…… NOW!
