Doin' some things in Africa

So real life continues after spring break which felt like it’s own abroad experience. As much as I miss galavanting around Botswana and sleeping in tents every night, having some normal time back in CT has been really nice. On Tuesday night, we went to dinner to celebrate Alyssa’s birthday. Idk if you’re an avid reader of my blog Alyssa but if you’re seeing this Happy Heckin late Birthday! It was great but things got kinda awkward cuz first we ordered nachos to share and the chips used in the nachos were legit Doritos which I know sounds amazing but idk sometimes you just want a normal chip uk? And then a bunch of us ordered this mushroom pasta which is literally all I eat here and I’m not mad about it but then we got real bad food envy about this pesto pasta Amanda and Jen got. And then the waitress accused Jen of lying about her order. And then I was talking to Alyssa and asked what dessert sounded good to her and she said she was in the mood for chocolate. So then when Alyssa was ...

About halfway through my spring break trip, I overheard someone talking about Murphy's Law. It says "anything that can go wrong will go wrong". The second I heard, I was relieved that I no longer had to think of a next blog title.  Murphy's law is a near perfect way to describe the past 2 weeks. It's almost comical how things can go wrong and go wrong some more and STILL manage to keep going wrong. But as I started to think about my experiences more, I realized that for every thing that went different as planned or didn't work out the way I wanted it to, something good almost always came out of the situation.

Ok so Hannah's Law is that for every thing that goes wrong, there's at least one good thing that comes from it. So instead of free writing and babbling about my...

Like the title implies, these last couple of weeks were characterized for me by a lot of confusion and conflicting feelings. But while those things have a bad connotation, I’m learning that confusion is actually one of the most productive feelings. I came here to escape my comfort zone and learn more about the world and about myself, and that’s exactly what I’m doing. Keep reading to find out more ;) I’m so sorry but this blog is going to start out with me thinking I’m a movie critic per usual. Sunday night I watched The Florida Project and LISTEN TO ME not only should it have been nominated for best picture but it should have WON best picture. It is so smart and moving and important and well done—everyone please please please watch. Hit me up if you need a link to it on an illegal website. Also AMERICAN IDOL IS BACK!!!! If you know me you know that unlike every other person on earth I never stopped watching American Idol and I may or may not have cried at a ...
