Salvaging Summer in Washington DC
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to take a quick weekend vacation in DC with my two best friends. I hadn’t seen either of them since May, when my parents threw me a rather lovely law school graduation party. The whole point of the weekend was that I…

The West Wing is My Obsession
I have an obsession with the West Wing. You can stream it on Netflix and I truly recommend that you do. If you like House of Cards, The West Wing is up your alley and WAY more believable. The Writers’ Room of House of Cards has explained it like this: “The…
