Slices that aren’t so square: St. Louis style pizza

I’m not going to lie, St. Louis style pizza, slathered with provel cheese (a processed combination of cheddar, swiss, and provolone) is by no means “good” pizza. But for people ...

Full of Gratitude

Last night, I completed my course evaluations for my spring courses, like I’ve done many times before a the Brown School. This time, it was different though. These were the last course evaluations that I will complete at the Brown School, as I will be graduating in two weeks. It’s hard to believe that two [...]

March Madness Comes to Town!!

As you may have guessed from previous posts, I’m a pretty big sports fan. So I was super excited that St. Louis was hosting some of the March Madness games. I figured I would just have to soak up the atmosphere from one of St. Louis’s many sports bars, but luckily a friend of mine won tickets to the Kansas vs. [...]

Sasha’s Wine Bar

There are many restaurants and bars to go to in St. Louis.  Sasha’s Wine bar is definitely a place to go to.  When my boyfriend came to town, we went to Sasha’s for dinner and it was delicious!  I has a savory crepe, which I don’t normally have because I like sweet crepes.  But, this [...]

Birthday Magic

When I was younger my birthday was always a day full of wonder and excitement. I can remember spending weeks on end coming up with birthday party plans and themes. As I got older that wonderment and joy I found in my birthday somehow got lost. I no longer felt a longing for that one [...]

We have a basketball team called Evidence Based Ballaz! Last year, the team entered in Wash U’s intramural league and played in the B league and actually won. This [...]

Six More Weeks of Winter- Bring it On!

Coming from Southern Texas I can honestly say that I have never fully experienced a “true” winter. I come from a land that cancelled school because there was ice on the ground (yes, we called these days “ice days”) and I never saw actual snow until I was 18 years old (in Oregon). Really what [...]

Thanks for the clarity, Phil…

So apparently, Punxsutawney Phil, the weather prognosticating groundhog saw his shadow yesterday February 2nd. They say we have six more weeks of winter, but I am a little confused about that prediction–here’s why. For one, I don’t know if “Phil” knows what wintry weather is. Clearly this past week in St. Louis felt like Spring. Forest [...]
