As I walked back, I was struck with panic. “Oh my God, how is he going to grab the dollar?” And I almost turned back the other way because moments of social awkwardness make me cringe...
Enough with the themed selfies already—you’re taking a picture of your face because you like your face and you want to know if other people like your face. Ain’t no shame, my sisters.

In college, our usual post-2am food spot was Mr. Greek Gyros, on the corner of Halsted and Jackson in Chicago.
That place was a lifesaver, both figuratively and (probably) literally. But it was wretched.
You’d stumble in there at 3am filled to the brim with some disgusting mixture of booze. You’d take your place in a line that never had any less than 15 people in it. You’d...
