Morgan Jones | Why you should be passionless

(11/14/13 12:11am)

Forget passion. Dump it in the corner with “Life’s Little Instruction Book” and any other advice you’ve received about growth, fostering who you are or pursuing a path because you’re interested, perhaps even invested, in it. We’re young. Passion is vague. We’ve got better things to do.

Morgan Jones | The benefit of 'goodbye'

(10/17/13 2:27am)

I get most of my family gossip through my grandma. She doles out wit like she doles out hugs, and I look forward to the bi-weekly scoop on my aunts, uncles and cousins and, every now and then — if I’m lucky — a quip on my parents. There are few people in the world I wish I could be more like than my grandma.

Morgan Jones | Ending excuses

(10/03/13 9:51pm)

College can feel like we’re living in limbo — a paradox of being young professionals, yet lacking the resources or know-how to be real professionals. We can make decisions regarding relationships, sex and setting ourselves on a future life path, but the majority of us can’t make rent, buy food or buy a business suit without the help of our parents.

Morgan Jones | Let’s get naked

(09/19/13 3:41am)

Senior year of high school, I was voted “Most likely to have superpowers.” I wrote my Common Application essay on it, and somehow I got into Penn.

Morgan Jones | I support the troops

(09/05/13 3:53pm)

I live in what may as well be the military capital of the United States — Colorado Springs alone is home to three military bases, the North American Aerospace Defense Command and the Air Force Academy. There are “Support the Troops” signs in the windows of nearly every store, and patriotism runs in the water.

(Sky)diving into it

(08/19/13 9:48pm)

In elementary school, I was the kid who labeled all her folders with a labeling gun and knew which binder was for which class before she showed up on the first day. I made an unhealthy amount of lists: to-do lists, movies-to-watch lists, pro-con lists, homework lists. I was, to say the least, the opposite of an impulsive child.

Morgan Jones | The internet giveth, and it taketh away

(03/21/13 5:06am)

I imagine myself as the ruler of my own personal media. The god of my Facebook, Twitter and blog, that is.

Morgan Jones | The city of brotherly brew

(03/15/13 4:02am)

We — Philadelphia — have everything. Well, almost everything. We have the waterfront, the poster-perfect skyline and Rittenhouse Square, Boathouse Row and soft pretzels, the Eagles and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
