General Thoughts- Crepes

            I honestly don’t understand the obsession that some people have with crepes. After having tried four totally different kinds of crepes from three extremely different businesses in three different areas, I was underwhelmed every single time. Okay, I get it, they’re like thin pancakes. But they seem to have no flavor, they’re awkwardly chewy without being gummy chewy, and they’re over priced.

            The crepes in discussion include those from the French Crepe Company in the shops at Hollywood and Highland (Hollywood Walk of Fame), The Crêperie on Newbury in Boston, MA, and La Petite France crepe truck from Connecticut.

The Crêperie on Newbury- Boston, MA

Brown sugar crepe with powdered sugar on top

Bland. The filling was thin and dissipated quickly. What you are left with after a few seconds is chewy sweetened batter.

Nutella filled crepe with powdered sugar on top

For the price of this crepe (which got cold very quickly), I would have been better off just buying a jar of Nutella and eating that. (Sorry for no picture, didn't think to take one)

Sugar crepe was extremely bland, boring, and I had to force myself to finish it. The cheddar cheese crepe was a fun twist on the grilled cheese, but nothing spectacular. I would have rather had a regular grilled cheese.

No Longer a College Freshman

            And just like that, my freshman year of college is over. I officially moved out today. 8 and a half months in the making, I am feeling such a mix of emotions right now. I can honestly say I’ve only made about three actual friends (that I care to keep in touch with) during my first year. Unfortunately, two of them are leaving- the other is my roommate next year. So it kind of hit me yesterday that they’re gone- for good. This just makes me truly, really sad.

            As mixed as mixed emotions can get, I feel odd being home. I go to school close to home, so I come home about once a week or so. Yet within the past week or two, I’ve felt homesick. Coming home recently was such a tease- home for 12 hours, then back to school, knowing that in little time I’d be home for the summer. But as I packed up everything from my dorm room, I felt such emptiness about leaving; like I was packing up my life. Even though I’m going back next semester, it just felt so strange.

            And finally, I feel lost. What am I suppose to do with my life for the next four months? Though I know this will only last for a few days or weeks. Because my frandsss come home this week! And I have a job that, of course, I’ll be working over time. So until all of my high school friends are off, I think I’ll be bored out of my mind.
