I just applied to work at Leavesden Studios in...
Specifically as a visitor experience host or tour interactor.
It appears after years of business school and graduating with a diploma in advertising, the hospitality and tourism industry just might be my calling. What can I say, I love tourists. I love answering questions - it makes me feel like the smartest person in the room. Plus, living in London would be UNREAL.

An Illustrated Guide To Bagged Milk
(For non-Canadian followers or anyone from the west coast.)
Because I’m a Canadian taking part in an international program, all of my friends come from around the world, and one of the most common discussion points are cultural differences and stereotypes. I’m taking a class at FSU on Cross-Cultural Communication, but nothing could have prepared me for the barrage of questions I would...

(The following has been shamelessly copied and pasted from Talk About Equality, because they’re a Wordpress blog and I’m a Tumblr blog and I can’t reblog them properly.)
By this point, most of you have heard about the tragedy in Norway a few weeks ago when a Christian fundamentalist* murdered 77 people and injured another 96. The story has been well-covered by International...
