I always thought that my journey through GW would end at the same place it began – in front of the White House. On the second day of my freshman year, I set out with my new friends to explore Washington for the first time. There was no debate about the first place we would […]

Last week, I made the trek out to Bed, Bath & Beyond in Pentagon City with my roommates to pick up a new toaster oven. The top heating element in our old toaster was broken, and only the undersides of my bagels were getting crisp. For someone like me, who enjoys their bagels so hot […]
