It’s Friday of a long, busy week and I am ready to settle down with some link love and start the weekend. So, without further ado: link love, ladies and gentlemen.
I took French in school from 6th grade through my freshman year of college, and used it a little to talk to the French girls in my international house when I studied abroad. But since then, my French skills have drastically fallen. I wish it wasn’t that way, that I still remembered everything and could speak in lovely grammatically correct French sentences (though, let’s be honest, they weren’t always grammatically correct to begin with – darn you French for having difficult grammar). For a while I used Duolingo in my free time, which might have worked a little at keeping my language skills sharper. I was always proud of myself when I found lessons easy :) This CEO took it another step and learned French in 17 days. If only we could all learn by living in France.
How amazing are these beautiful brushstroke macarons?! If you are looking to step up your party game, here’s the bar.
The local food movement is constantly growing. With the growth of local food availability and accessibility, rural public health is also changing.
Calling all millennials – how many times do you open snapchat a day? Too many, might be the answer for most of us. Snapchat has found a better way than most apps to include sponsored ads (see some of those filters you like using?), and the company that is now “worth” more than a billion dollars! Insert big-eyed emoji face at that.
Our country’s history is full of rocky relationships and embarrassing times that many people don’t like to discuss much. However, it all needs to be discussed to shape how current students act and affect the future of our nation. AP US History was one of the most difficult classes I took in high school, but one of my favorite. Even though I love learning about history, I understand how many students detest it. But there are more fun ways to learn about American history, the good and the bad, and theater might be one of them. Hamilton, anyone?
Last, but definitely not least, have you seen the new Harry Potter and the Cursed Child photos? I won’t be going to London anytime soon, but I’m super excited about it, nonetheless! In case you missed it, they revealed the Potters, the Granger-Weasleys, and the Malfoys, dressed in their costumes. Seeing the new characters makes me want to go back and reread the original books like I did the summers when they came out!
