Outback Steakhouse is way sneaky good
(08/06/13 4:49pm)
Every once in a while a restaurant sneaks up on me and provides quality food when I least expect it. I like to call them “sneaky good” spots. Outback Steakhouse is one of the biggest chains in America. Their commercials with the corny Australian accents and down-underism’s have until this point, kept me from eating at their establishment. It appears I was missing out, because Outback’s food is actually way better than I expected.

(08/01/13 12:34am)
Dragonfly Sushi & Sake Company in the downtown Gainesville area offers diners a modern take on Japanese cuisine. I arrived Saturday at 9 p.m. Even at this hour, there was a line out the door, and the expected wait time for a table for two was 30 minutes.

It's your senior year, go crazy
(07/31/13 9:45pm)
I don’t consider myself a huge partier or even a big drinker, but I’ve definitely made some memories that will make me shutter, smile and think I must have been the most stupid person in college when I look back on college years from now. They’re definitely not the moments I text my parents about, share with my grandparents and aunts when they ask how school is; they’re more just for me and my awesome friends who took care of me.

A collection of different accents (just for fun)

I have an obsession with accents. French, British, southern, German, Australian. I don’t care what the accent is...I love it. Hearing different accents is honestly one of my favorite parts of traveling. So in honor of my obsession, I would like to share YouTube videos with you of the cutest accents.

“Viva Forever” vivas seven months
(05/16/13 6:15pm)
For me, the 2012 Olympics were the best I’d seen in my life, not because the opening ceremony was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, the queen made her grand entrance via parachute, and it was totally awesome, Ryan Lochte broke world records or even because the athletes were looking particularly fine. Nope, it was because the Spice Girls sang (insert British accent) “Wannabe” at the closing ceremony.
