Sarah Dietz is a freshman at New York University. She grew up in Santa Monica, California before abandoning sunshine for humidity and snow. She is the daughter of fellow blogger Karen Stabiner but – unlike her mother – she does not intend to become a writer when she grows up. Living up to the stereotype of the classic undecided freshman, she's taking classes in several different fields and refuses to make a commitment to any of them.
