Janet Yellen is the most important person in the world economy.

A friend and I were walking to a class we had together the other day when some comment I made caused him to slow his steps, turn to me, and declare, “You are such a white girl.”

1. He is unafraid to tell it like it is — even when the truth stings and everyone else around you avoids it.

“It will exhaust you,” he added, matter-of-factly. “When you move here, you’ll see.”

1. Sit around your best friend’s apartment together while she’s gone for the night and plot ways to prank her when she gets back.

It was more than half past two in the morning, and I had no idea how I was going to find my way home.

Whenever I buy Lunchables, I feel the pure, unadulterated joy of living simply — like, when I was 10 or 11 and begged my parents to let me bring these hearty, little treats to school.

Point A to Point B to Point C to, someday, Point Z. Do not pass Go. A house in the suburbs with a driveway that can fit two cars — at least.

“Uh. Well, actually, I’m Canadian.”

Flying stresses me out.
