The One Way Relationship Train

Kate Gilhool
Associate Editor

I hope it isn’t just me, but I feel like I have special relationships with celebrities even if I’ve never met them. When my girl Kim K filed for divorce a few weeks ago I was in shock because I had just celebrated her wedding 72 days before. When I say that I celebrated her wedding to Kris Humpries I mean that I spent 3 hours on the Dr. Pit couch in our living room watching her 3 part wedding special on E! News.

My Top 25 Summer Firsts

1) Surfed without a wetsuit (think cheese grater)
2) Ate a quart of Del’s frozen lemonade in one sitting
3) Received an order from swell.com. Tanks aren’t only for girls.
4) Made a skim board ramp with plywood and PVC. Ate it hard.
5) Shared a brewski with my Dad at the Chatham Squire

Learning something new from something old in Turkey

“You can wear shorts there?” the older lady from New Jersey said to me as we sat on the plane heading to Turkey. “I’ve brought only long clothes since it’s a Muslim country.” For as long as I have been coming to Turkey, my family and I have always met tourists who were surprised about these kinds of cultural norms. In Turkey, not every woman wears a headscarf and even though the food may look unappetizing and mysterious, it’s actually really good.

Last ‘first day’ of school is no different than the rest

7:15 There’re a lot of kids milling the hallways, craning their necks in unusual ways and trying to figure out why room 205 is next to room 216. They make things really confusing by asking you to go to a class you’re not going to find again for a year/ haven’t been in for a year. They say homeroom won’t change for all four years of high school but from experience, they lie. To the kid who asked where room 208 is: no idea. Sorry.
