Rainboots

Today was an adventure. Not only did i strangely wake up chipper when my alarm clock went off, but i didn't fall back asleep. Alright, that doesn't happen. So I got ready, I even put a scarf on to spice things up and some zebra rain boots. Because every girl is required to wear rain boots if there's a chance of rain. Duh, it's like the rules of feminism!
The rain boots came in handy because the weather was like a sack of soggy dogs, it was ruff. teehee. But really, walking two miles while rain is being pelted in your face is a fun game. Whatever I totally deserved a red velvet molly's cupcake with vanilla frosting on it. As I was sitting in Molly's with my friend Spector, I noticed two men sitting at a desk next to us. It looked as if they were in a deep, serious conversation. Then I saw it. A Bible. As Spector and I casually chatted about all our nights that ended in regret, confusion and copious amounts of vomit- These men were praying for us. They had the Bible opened, hands clasped and prayed out loud for the safety of our souls. I wish I was kidding. But I guess all the prayers couldn't exactly do their "job" because unfortunately, Spector is from Skokie, an obvious Jew.
Then the boots came into play again later when I walk into my discussion class and lookie there- stalker man! I had honestly thought (and prayed, SO hard) that he had dropped out of school; I hadn't seen him staring me down in almost two weeks! Well he popped up again when I walked into class. Before I could even sit down in my seat he told me he liked my boots. Clearly, anyone in their right mind would like my boots. They're zebra and sassy. But he liked them, so I just knew this situation was going to get worse. As my teacher handed back our midterm and paper's, I looked up at the screen and saw my full name. yes, first AND last night glowing from the projector. HOLY SHIT. My stalker couldn't do anything only knowing my first name, but now he has vital information that could seriously jeopardize my life!! The only reason my name was on the screen was because I got a good score and my teacher wanted everyone to recognize me and congratulate me. Absolutely brutally awkward and unnecessary and again, life endangering. But even that wasn't the end of it. I answered a question with as much thoroughness as I could and my teacher asked if everyone agreed with my answer. Instead of everyone just mumbling some sort of approval, stalker boi stated loud and clear (while burning a hole into my face), "Her answer was perfect". Alright, that's gotta stop.
So, if he's somehow tracked me down on google (there's a really nice picture of me holding the 2nd place state soccer trophy fighting back tears), this is awkward and it's not about you!!! LoLz!!

Why we can learn from our dogs.

BeyoncĂ© once asked, "Who run the world?", and she then answered for all of us when she obviously said, "Girls"...I mean it's true, we (as a collective gender) gave birth to the world. However, I think Queen Bey forgot something very important when it comes to people, and those who rule it--it would be impossible to run anything if you didn't have (hu)man's best friend by your side. Not only do dogs selflessly provide us with something to pet and keep us warm at night, but they provide us with undeniable and unrelenting love and affection. It would be pretty lonely ruling the world without a dog there to put a little pep into your step. It seems silly, really, that dogs don't get any credit for making the world a better place. It also seems silly that I'm even thinking about dogs ruling the world (hey, that's not a horrible idea). But I think there's some value into considering that while humans can change a dogs life, it's just as...

Amster...dam(n), that was fun.

I have recently found myself double checking my memories- making sure things really happened, that I actually did the things I think I did, and saw the things I swear I saw, because with all this adventure going on in my life nothing seems real any more; like it's one big dream that I don't want to wake up from. It's a good thing I always carry my Nikon around with me to back up my illusive memories- for proof that my life is actually as exciting as my thoughts tend to illustrate. For the past two days, I found myself in Amsterdam . The best part is, I was able to explore the fascinating place with my friends who flew in from Rome, Florence and London. It was such a glorious feeling to have Katie in my arms, to chow down with Lindsay and Maria, and to do stupid things with Mallory and Heidi- all while being in a foreign (seriously, so foreign) land. Before I landed in the city of canals, I knew very little about it. I suppose research would have been a standard idea, bu...

Thank you, Dad.

Although there are millions of men and women who deserve endless amounts of praise and thanks for all that they have done for our country, there is one special guy I'd like to thank especially. My dad. It's been years since the man has seen combat, or even been in the cock-pit of his most prized Huey Helicopter, but that hasn't stopped him from sharing his memories with me. Ironically the idiot joined the Marine Corps on a dare by his college roommates, but that dare turned into something much more than a whim.  After more than a decade spent serving our country, my father left the Corps as a Major, and would be one of the highest ranked Marines today if it weren't for me. My dad gave up his career in the military so I wouldn't have to move from place to place, fighting to fit in and becoming detached from society. My dad gave up so much to simply be my dad, and that's something I will never be able to express my complete gratitude for.  My dad i...
