		<description><![CDATA[I never sleep well the night before I head home for the holidays. I have a subconscious terror that I won’t be allowed to return to my apartment after my visit, that my mom’s leftover hotdish will be confiscated and I will be thrown in a suburban holding cell, peering at Minneapolis in the distance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the first day of Bio 100, my professor walked in and announced that we should and would love this class. “In biology,” she said, “everything is about sex.” Biology, I learned, is the study of life, ergo; life is all about sex, too. Ultimately, every decision we make relates back to sex. Not necessarily [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Little girls in Minnesota grow up knowing who Princess Kay of the Milky Way is—that darling of the State Fair immortalized in churned creamy goodness, wholesome as a glass of fresh Minnesota milk. We also grow up believing there’s nothing weird about having your head carved in butter. If anything, it’s something to aspire to. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Foam and Fauna: Growing up near the Wilds of Water There’s something about the confluence of ancient existence and constant change inherent in rivers and shorelines that makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. I’m okay and the world is okay simply because the rivers and lakes are here. Maybe it started [...]]]></description>

Girls in floral dresses float across the sidewalks of Dinkytown, their hair bright and bouncing. Cars roll by languidly, windows down, the boys wearing aviators and smiling.

		<description><![CDATA[An Almost Amphibious Childhood Twenty years ago, on my 9th birthday, I swam in the state meet at the University of Minnesota. It was the end of my first season representing the Northwest YMCA’s Marlin swim team, and probably the high point of my competitive swimming career.
