holy shit i have wanted to go to lafayette since i moved here DO THEY ALSO HAVE MACARONS AND WIFI

1) That is an easily rectified mistake.

2) I love 90% of their bakery items (the fougasse, le sigh!), but the macarons are A+. Having ordered all the flavours (for departmental events), let me suggest salted caramel and passionfruit as the ones not to miss!

3) No wi-fi! (Which might be why the place isn’t mobbed like other coffee shops, tbh.) It’s my go-to space for writing because I can plop my things down, eat good food and get things done. If you sit facing the window, though, the people-watching you can do is also A+.

ps: don’t forget to pick up one of their frequent coffee cards.

Honestly I'd just say it like that, not mincing your words or beating around the bush. I'm in the US and had to fight for healthcare coverage at work and my reasoning for my employer was verbatim: "I haven't had any type of health insurance for two years because I couldn't afford it, let alone out of pocket expenses." Immediately got coverage.

firstly, that healthcare system is fucked up but i hope you have healthcare coverage now! also, i think you’re right. i definitely need to tell them that it’s partially because i can’t afford the material i need and (technically) i have been paying them for access to that material so they should let me have that extension.

11. What book do you find yourself recommending the most? 

ahh i don’t really recommend one book the most. my reading taste is ummm.. old and.. encyclopedic and kind of eclectic. so i rarely put people through the suffering of having to read my favourite books. If i am reading a book and it reminds me of one of my friends i will recommend it to them, usually only to find out that they’ve already read it! :-)

5. Do you write in the margins?

Nope. I just can’t bring myself to write in books. I wish I did though because marginalia is cool af!
