Coffee and a Conversation

As Told Over Brunch is a home for intelligent discourse from the twenty-something perspective - so the stuff you gossip about over mimosas on Sunday morning or over takeout on your friend's couch when happy hour ends too early. We love chatting about our lives, whether it be the relationships we’re building (or destroying), lessons we've learned at work, struggles at school, growing pains we've felt, or even the food we’re talking over.

Sweater Weather

e need to talk about sweating. This may seem like the wrong season, but I promise you, it’s not. Sweating can strike anytime, anywhere.

We need to more understanding of the sweaters in this world. We need to turn down the heaters in February and also let people keep their coats on inside if they want to because of their sweat stains.

A few years ago, I had an important interview for a scholarship at 8:30 AM one Friday morning. The month before had been Christmas, and my parents had bought me an overcoat because I wanted to seem like a posh, mature adult, which meant I have a pea coat that goes to my knee. Actually I wanted an Old Navy pea coat, but my mom called it cheap and said she’d buy me a real one. So I ended up with this heavy, wool, charcoal coat. But boy, did it keep me warm. Too warm.

Why is "Wedding Season" in the Summer?

My uncle got married this summer. Last summer, my two cousins both got married during the summer months. As did my childhood best friend. In previous summers, my other two cousins got married in the summer. As did what I estimate millions of people, because summer is "wedding season."

I took to the streets with my journalistic integrity and surveyed at least one person about why people all get married in the summer. The answers I got were because that's when people plan and expect to travel, because more people are off during the summer (teachers, it's just teachers and their students) and that people don't want to get married when it's cold.
