DISPATCH | What they never tell you about Alaska

“What I try to tell them is that Alaska is beautiful — but they ‘mmhmm’ and move on, since I can’t really express in words these sentiments in a way to get them to pay attention to what I’m saying, because for me, Alaska is more than just beautiful, and it just can’t be summarized in whatever picture I try to show them.”

Reflecting on French toast and memory

“In this sense, I am afraid of the “Breezy Point effect,” or that the joyful memories and personal connections from this year will exist only in my memories. In other words, I am worried about losing the wonderful people that I have met and no longer having the chance to create more experiences with them”

Rain and spread out venues don't dampen Princeton’s Porchfest

The Princeton Porchfest is a great way to explore both the local music scene and the town of Princeton. However, I would recommend planning in advance for the best experience, especially in the case of a bad weather forecast.
