I’ve never had much luck with group projects.

After waiting in line for more than two hours to buy Spring Sing tickets, why I had bothered getting there as soon as the tickets went on sale.

Last weekend, my roommate and I walked over three miles to get to Yogurtland, located near the intersection of Sepulveda and Olympic by the 405. We were ridiculed and laughed at for traveling so far by foot, but it was totally worth it.
