The theatre is my sanctuary: It is a gilded haven where fairytales come alive, or history is resurrected. The Nutcracker Ballet does both, a fantastical performance embedded in Christmas tradition, so much so that I feel that Christmas hasn’t been truly celebrated until my family goes to see the show.

For whatever reason, I’ve had a new color–or lack thereof–obsession this season: beige. The muted color is quite overlooked at times, but I can assure you that wearing it will not make you fall flat.

The black whole of academia, consumed with law papers, journalistic video packages, grad school apps–even medieval manuscripts has officially swallowed me whole.
