“There were much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little of that which might have excited disgust.” – The Masque of the Red Death, Poe I love horror. Horror movies, ghost stories, thrillers, there’s almost nothing so voluptuous as the sensation of terror. I love…

If this shot of a woman drinking tea in the ruins of her home during WW2 could adequately stand in for your current mood, and/or if this is how you frequently feel at work–you, shell-shocked and exhausted, trying to remain calm, dammit– then you should seriously consider attending one of my September…

I was recently invited to contribute to this Highya.com article, debating the pros and cons of attending college, given the potentially life-crushing debt load. I suppose my answer was a qualified “…kinda.” College can be immensely rewarding and life-changing if the student commits to the process, to challenging herself, to stepping outside of her previous intellectual…
