No new car smell

After graduation, I’ll inherit my parents’ 10-year-old Honda. Originally, Mom was going to buy me a new car as a graduation present, but after discussing it with her, we’ve decided that I’ll get Dad’s old Accord. I don’t really mind. True, it would be nice to be driving a shiny new whatever, but the lower [...]

Giving on the street

Giving to panhandlers on the street makes me feel better. That’s probably why I do it. I mean, it’s instant cash in their hands, and instant gratification for me.

A taste of golf

I had my first golf lesson a couple days ago… and might I say, it’s fun! I’m an extreme beginner, but it’s so gratifying to hit that ball and watch it sail (or in my case, skid) across the greens. The trouble is that the clubs at the range are too long and heavy for [...]

Now now now, I am not actually deluded to think that I SAVED $50. I SPENT $28.76 on this pair of suede Mary Jane’s from Aerosoles (named Spuntaneous). During winter break I tried them on in an Aerosoles store - they are comfortable (which is important when I am running around campus). The 1.5 inch [...]
