This section of the blog will include periodic lists of 5 things one of us has been enjoying or exciting about recently.
Ben Blackshear recommends:
- Playing games
o I love games, board games, card games, whatever; I’m even taking a class about them. Point is, they’re great, my current fave is bananagrams. You should try it.
- Grapefruit
o What a wonderful fruit, durable and delicious!
- Making a Study Playlist
o Some people say it makes them lose their focus, and maybe it does…but that can still be a good thing. Anyway, I love jammin’ while I study, lately my playlist has included the following albums, which I also recommend: Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, The Appleseed Cast’s Sagarmatha, and Grand by Matt & Kim.
- Fires
o Almost every night this week I have started a fire in the common room and studied by it, we even had a bonfire outside once. The point is, if you are cold, if you have a fireplace, or the capacity to go outside, fire is the best thing ever. It also often leads to marshmallows.
- Pistachios
o My roommate and I are hopelessly addicted to this wonderful snack. But its more than a snack, there’s just something about the repetitive unfrocking* and eating motion. And the taste, especially if you can get the salt & pepper flavored ones we got.
*unannounced to me, uncracking is not a word; unfrocking, however, is, meaning depriving of professional status. now we know.
