Ain’t nothin’ but a party

I really like all types of music. I’ve never been super picky when it comes to the music I like and don’t like (which doesn’t happen very often).

Keep calm and eat pie

Pie is the end-all be-all of desserts. Some people will argue that cake is the grandmaster of all sweets with its luscious frosting cascades and its light, airy texture. However, throughout my many cookie-baking binges and midnight meringue whipping, I have found that pie is the mother of all sweets. It’s the real reason I Read More

Celebrities like Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Vince Gill have all Read More

See you later

    They always say goodbye is the hardest part. Frankly, I’m surprised that in my college career no teacher has endeavored to explain to me who “they” are and how they know such things. While this may be the case, I have learned a thing or two at Murray State. I’ve learned to be Read More

Overheard conversations

People hear reporters on television and in magazines talk about how celebrities are “just like us.” But the idea that someone whose entire life is documented in tabloids and drives around in a $200,000 Range Rover can be anything like you sounds absolutely insane.
