Finishing a book is like saying goodbye to a friend: You are left with beautiful memories but feel slightly empty inside. After reading “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green, my voice feels paralyzed; words won’t come out. All I can think of is what Augustus Waters said at the end of the book: […]
Sweet happiness comes in many shapes and sizes, especially in these bite-sized s’mores. I found the novelty of this Pinterest project was less about the s’mores and more about the activity itself.
