I’m not there yet. But I need to be honest—I’m closer to 40 than any other multiple of five.

Don’t listen to horror stories about airplane tantrums. Listen to me while I let you in on the secret perks of seeing the world with kiddos.

I wanted to write a book last summer. Then I realized what a terrible goal that was and modified accordingly.

A new, exciting trend is to have food pantries for college students. I talked to an AmeriCorps volunteer running one of these centers and she was matter-of-fact about the need — and how little is being done. Today’s college students may be young and single, living la vida loca. But more and more are what we call ‘nontraditional’: slightly older, employed full-time (or close to it), supporting a family, a veteran, etc.

Hunger for nontraditional students doesn’t mean surviving on ramen: It means they are not the only person in the household who's in need.

84% of full professors in America are White. In case you were unsure, that does not match the overall makeup of the country or the student body.

I’ve developed a fast and furious passion for the new Daily Show host, Trevor Noah.

I look tired when I stay up too late. I also look tired if I get eight hours of sleep.

When did I discover that sterilization isn’t as cut and dry as it seems? While sitting in a hospital gown, signing my life away, awaiting surgery.

I’m a sucker for an interesting woman, so Notorious RBG is obviously my sort of book.

I always have a small piece of my brain on mom mode, no matter what else is happening. I have no problem with this, since that is how humanity has survived.
