Guys, this is it. I am down to the home stretch and losing my mind! I am forgetting things. Things I need to do are slipping through the cracks in my mind. I might have to take a stupid subway ride back to my apartment to get what I need during lunch. I don't want to do that.
Maybe I should start taking pictures of the food I make and use that for my blog. That would probably be a better idea, but this is so much more fun because now people can feel better that they are less of a mess than I am?
Idk.
Just, let me get to July 27 at approx 6:00 PM without any incident.

In other news, all of the places I now need to go to make my facebook look nicer.
Also, does anyone know how candy crush works? Like once I manage to wait my 72 hours to go to the next level, how do I get to the next level? Like, do I really need those gold bars or....
Titles can be pretentious

Today is a good day

Hi everyone! So for real. Let's talk today.
First, I went to a nutritionist. If you ever ever ever get to go to a nutritionist for cheap or free, I would seriously recommend it. The lady I went to see was super helpful. She gave me so many tips for things to eat that are healthy. For example, I learned that half a breakfast sandwich with egg and those laughing cow wedges=super healthy the yogurt and granola I usually eat could be better (by switching to Greek yogurt). Anyway, I am super motivated and hopefully things work out better because I've been feeling gross lately.
And I went outside of school and there was a carnival! I made my friend Mark go with me. I made him ride the swings. He liked them, so then we rode them again. I wish I knew how to post a photo from my camera roll to this blog instead of jsut from the Internet. Anyway, it was fabulous and I'll update this later with the pictures I have!
And later school is giving us mimosas to help us study. Life, my friends, is good.
Xoxo

Burning Questions Re: Another Cinderella Story
Two and a half years ago, I moved away from home to New York City. I didn't know a soul. Fast forward to now, I live in Hell's Kitchen with two roommates and every day is a new adventure. I am doing this blog to recap silly things that happen to me each day.

Let's be real. Another Cinderella Story staring Jane Lynch, Selena Gomez, and Drew Seely is basically a cinematic masterpiece. (No judgments please). I am watching it right now, actually! But, it leaves open some burning questions.
1. Why does Selena Gomez have to dance in a room all by herself while all the other lesser dancers get to dance in a group?
Why does everyone else not get to revel in the glory?
2. HOW are the step-sisters popular and Selena Gomez is not? The step-sisters are creepy and dumb and mouth-breathers!!!
HOW!?
3. At the ball, how does Joey Parker not recognize Mary? It's not like they'd never spoken before! Plus, Mary's mask isn't that big.
4. Most importantly so far, where do I find a friend like Tammy? I needed someone to redo my entire closet with handmade originals, like yesterday. Plus, she always stands up for Mary and is a 10 for loyalty.
Look at that attack face though.
5. Why was Joey such a jerkface when Mary tried to explain who she was? ON 2 SEPERATE OCCASIONS! WHO BLOWS SELENA GOMEZ OFF???? YES IT'S TOO LATE TO SAY SORRY.
</3 So many feelings regarding this.
6. How is Mary's bedroom so nice and neat?
I have two loving parents and my room is not nearly this cool. Mary only has Jane Lynch (not that she's not fantastic) who does not necessarily play a maternal role, but her room looks like that!?
7. I don't have a picture of this, and I realize the whole point of the competition is so Mary can win, but for real, can't those first break dancers at the beginning of the competition get some kind of honorable mention?
8. Again, no picture, but how did the step-sisters suck so bad at dancing after they took all those fancy classes and were not nearly as bad there?
9. How do Joey and Mary have this entire dance perfect when they weren't even speaking to choreograph it?
How can they look so happy when they were just so mad at each other at the beginning of the song!?
In the same vain, how does Mary know all the words?
10. Lastly, where do I sign up?

Venting
Two and a half years ago, I moved away from home to New York City. I didn't know a soul. Fast forward to now, I live in Hell's Kitchen with two roommates and every day is a new adventure. I am doing this blog to recap silly things that happen to me each day.

I apologize in advance, guys. This isn't some post about something strange that happened to me today. This is more of a vent about something that really bothers me, and I am so sorry if I offend any of you reading this. But the thing that really bothers me is about exclusivity in a relationship. I get that with all the dating apps and all the bars and the fact that New York City has a ton of really beautiful people in it that we are always looking to the next person. There is a caveat, though. My friend's S.O. once put it great, and I think she really has a point with this. She believes that once you start dating someone, you have a 30 day period where you figure out if you like them, if you want to keep seeing them, and by the end of 30 days, even if it's just casual, you should probably stop going on dates and hooking up with random people at the bar. Just because you lack official titles does not mean you should be hooking up with other people or dating other people after a month.
A month is a perfectly suitable amount of time to figure it out. Conceivably in a month you can go out on four or five dates with a person. Let's say you meet this person and you date for a while and you do couple things, like going to dinner, or going to the park, and going to the zoo or whatever it is, and things are going well but you aren't "official." Let's also just say that you don't have the talk about being "official" with titles for four more months because you're going slow or because you guys aren't on the same page. Now let's say it's a year or so later and things are still going great with your S.O. What if they asked about your hookup habits during that shady period? Would you really want to look that person in the eye and confess that you were still hooking up with other people three or four months into the two of you being together? Would you really want to confess that you were hooking up with other people while the two of you were together while the other person was working late so you two could hang out the entire next day? Please don't answer yes to that.
Some of my friends believe that any time you lack official titles is fair game. To that, I say, if you can't stop hooking up with other people after seeing someone for a month, then you should probably stop wasting everyone's time and let that person go.
I just think this could save some hurt feelings later on.
And I'm really really sorry if I offended anyone.And also, I know I just sat in a glass house and threw a boulder at the wall.
Here's a picture of a piglet sleeping in a baseball glove to thank you for sticking that vent out with me.

Things changed quickly
Two and a half years ago, I moved away from home to New York City. I didn't know a soul. Fast forward to now, I live in Hell's Kitchen with two roommates and every day is a new adventure. I am doing this blog to recap silly things that happen to me each day.

I am not a woman of my word. I did not make it to Rudy's last night. I was traumatized. I left my office to go home. Everything was normal, the train ride back was normal, walking from HERALD SQUARE alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way tvo eighth avenue and 34th street was normal. Things changed quickly once I got to eighth avenue. Once I got to eighth avenue, I saw the rat guy. I've run into him before, so I was not necessarily weirded out. I don't necessarily think he is the greatest because I really don't think you should spray paint your animals and ride around with them on your shoulders and heads and let strange people touch them, but that is neither here nor there.
^ For those of you who have never seen the rat guy.
Anyway, so my journey continues on until I am at the corner of 34th and 9th where I see 4 people, presumably hipsters (?) wheeling their almost identical bikes down the street.
this is kind of what the bike looked like, only slightly different, and in the middle of 34th street in Manhattan.
Anyway, I am currently hiding under my covers, kind of afraid to face the world today.
You all go out and enjoy the nice weather!
Til later! :)

I am not sure how I've managed to have a normal day so far. I walked all the way from the PORT AUTHORITY to 34th street, down 9th avenue and ALL THE WAY TO HERALD SQUARE and the only crazy person I saw was myself in the glass reflections. Then I managed to ride the Q train almost to the end of the line in Queens. And I was still the crazy one. Then, I left the sanctity of the office and walked outside again and still no one.
That's it. I'm going to Rudy's later. I need to not think I'm the craziest one out there.
They even have a pig out front!
They also did not pay me to write this.
But I would really recommend going if you're the sort of person who is in to dive bars.
