WHEN YOU FEEL JUST LIKE A TOURIST in the city you were born, then it's time to go. If you're looking for one of those Gretchen Weiner parody blogs, you will be disappointed.
If you're looking for the Gretchen of itsgretchbetch from Youtube, then congratulations! Your reward will consist of a copious amount of puns and shameless self promotions.
For everyone else, I'm Gretchen McIntosh. I'm a Sophomore at Hamilton University in Chicago, where I major in journalism and minor in statistics. Because I don't think you guys can get enough of me, you can find me doing stand-up on the weekends at various comedy clubs around the city.

ELIJAH: I THINK YOU CAN NOW HEAR ME SCREAMING
ELIJAH: Um, assuming whatever you tell me to?
ELIJAH: What does this have to do with me being on thin ice?
GRETCHEN: You're such a fucking loser.
GRETCHEN: You'll be off thin ice if you answer this question in the affirmative.
GRETCHEN: Do you want to take a weekend New York trip with me? I've got my interview that Friday and then we'll have banged in TWO states instead of just one. Also all the dumb couple city things, blah blah blah. If you really want to hate yourself, you can meet my parents!! (I don't advise it.)

@WhyWyattClarington: @itsgretchbetch Siri wants some.
@itsgretchbetch: @whywyattclarington Sorry, Siri. I'm just not that into you.
@itsgretchbetch: @whywyattclarington (Except I need to keep on Siri's good side because she could fuck up my life if she so chose. I am at her mercy.)

GRETCHEN, THAT IS SO EXCITING!  I’m kind of curious what exactly the politics of Girl Scout cookies are, though.  I’ve never actually had a Girl Scout cookie, but everyone seems to love them and the Girl Scout troops are adorable.

CONGRATULATIONS, THOUGH!  Your parents would probably be really happy to see you.

Do they not have vegan Girl Scout cookies? I’m sure Perry can whip you something up. Especially the fucking peanut butter ones. Like, I always feel like I need a cigarette after I binge on those. Anyway, most of it was regarding how overrated the thin mints are but a reference to Stalin was involved. It was a “had to be there” kind of tangent.

I’d prefer not to see them, admittedly, but I do miss New York. Thanks, though! If I get it, I’ll have tons of city vlogs. And an apartment if you want to crash for vacation purposes.

Congratulations! I’m wishing you the best of luck for the second round and sending out good vibrations.

Thanks Bea! This is kind of my dream internship (and dream job, whatever) so I’m pretty psyched right now.

I had my phone interview for the New York Times’ internship that I applied for and, apparently, even though I managed to go on a tangent about the politics of Girl Scout cookies, I was impressive enough to move on to the second round. Of course, this means having to decide if I want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a hotel or brave my parents’ house. This is the real Sophie’s Choice.
