So, I’ve been told that people want to know about my life. Not my whole life (that would be boring) but my Kosovo life. Kosolife, if you will. I guess that’s fair. I love hearing about other people’s adventures in countries and cultures different then my own. I’m also a writer and we all know …

2014
I don’t know what I did with my list of New Year’s resolutions for 2014. Probably it’s somewhere tucked away in my bedroom at my parents’ house. I know I made one, because I always make one. I’m addicted to lists and checking things off of lists. But I’m also addicted to chaos and unpredictability …
Quick Words
I was supposed to be intensely working on a million things to prepare for the next season of my life, but instead I created this word map of common words used on this blog (using wordle). This is how life goes sometimes. Words are pretty and these words seemed to me to be especially beautiful and …
Under the Covers
I'm doing a lot of packing and cleaning these days. I move out of my little dorm room tomorrow, and I'm going to Kosovo in a week and a half (yay!). Here are my top 11 (because I couldn't narrow it down to 10) favorite song covers that I have been slow jamming to lately. They …
How to Move to Lebanon in 4 Days
1. Pack your life into a suitcase. Technically you could bring two suitcases, though I recommend a suitcase and then a duffle for your books and shoes. Less to carry. I know packing is hard enough when you’re going to be gone for a week, but packing to start a new life is totally different. …

I like sunshine and pretty things and cheerfulness, and I dread responsibility." -Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise I'm thankful and ready and restless and scared. But mostly I'm just so filled with feelings and struggles and confusion and light, that I …
The number one thing I learned from graduate school applications
I should not be writing a blog post right now. Like seriously Elizabeth, get it together and do your homework. Oh, you're not going to listen? Fine.

Home is Wherever
So I've moved back in with the parents. But I still work downtown every day and basically I've been living at this little coffee shop in Inman Park finishing up all my graduate school apps. You can send all my mail there, thanks. I'm happy to be back at home actually. It has greatly diminished …
I Love Brunch
So lately I've been digging pancakes for lunch. But of course, there is only one of me and I'm trying to not gain a thousand pounds so I came up with a nice little recipe for some single-serving, healthy, gluten-free pancakes. 1/3 cup of brown rice flower (or any other gluten free flower or normal …
The Story of the Free Computer
So I've been a little quiet this past week, and the reason is that my computer was broken... again. You might remember when my computer broke in December (during finals) and then again at the end of April (also during finals). Well it broke again last week, thankfully this time it wasn't during finals. Now, …
