Anyways, how this came about was for pancake day we decided to make pancakes and crepes for dinner. We decided on savory crepes for dinner and pancakes for dessert.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles … and COVID-19

It was quite the journey for me to get here, nearly 22 hours of traveling from the time I left my house to when I arrived in my dorm!

My travel started with a three hour car ride to the airport (there were no direct flights from home and I was definitely not adding a 10 hr layover to my trip). The car ride was pretty relaxed, both my parents drove me down, so it…

How to Start the New Term on the Right Foot
7 Tips for starting school with your best foot forward Today was my first day back after winter break, and the first day of my last semester of university.
