think I’m a better talker than writer. And I think I’m a better listener than talker. So I listen to a lot of music. One album that I constantly find myself running back to for more is Travis Scott’s new album, “Astroworld”.

If you follow me on Instagram (@anna.pugh), you know I like to post pictures of where I’m eating, what I’m cooking, and an occasional video of a perfectly poached egg. One of my followers recently asked if it’s hard being a food snob while on a college budget.
