I triple majored in German, political science and history. I used to think it was lazy how many times our professors screened this one movie about Sophie Scholl and the White Rose movement, but now I’m more appreciative as we look ahead.

The Dalai Lama said: “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.”

I have put EFFORT into eating all the things I love in NYC this weekend when I’m not working. Xian Famous Foods, Veselka, Pommes Frites… and we’re getting fancy cake + coffee at the Neue Galerie later. Feels like a last hurrah. Hope it isn’t.

Do I cry every time the dog gets saved in Independence Day? EVERY TIME. Aliens, you can blow everything else up but I’ll be damned if you get the dogs!
Yes, I am an idiot.
I have also cried at elves in the LOtR movies and my husband will never let me live that down.
