BLUE AND GOLD TEARS

Yesterday was the Big Game against Stanford. Long story short, we lost. And the big fat raindrops signified how sad the world is about the fact that we lost the game. AXE GONE! (what's the axe you ask? CLICK!) Depressing huh? Yeah, totally. The half time performance totally made up for the fact that the weather was a bitch. The theme was "DANCE!" And the marching band played "Bad Romance," "Break Your Heart," and all these dance evoking music that the crowd ate up! Our band was WAY better than Stanford's, so HA!

Love my school no matter what, repping them blue and gold for life!

On another note, today is my floor's 3 months monthiversary. WE'VE BEEN LIVING TOGETHER FOR A WHOLE 3 MONTHS! Wow, what a feat, that's longer than my longest relationship (Sad, yes, pathetic, eh maybe, do I care? Not in the slightest). It's such a weird feeling. I feel like time flew the fuck by and I can't remember how we even spent it. Yet, looking back we have nothing but funny, hilarious, embarrassing, pathetic, sad, teary, adorable, perfect, imperfect, angry, annoying, giggly, memories together. It's hard to believe that 3 months ago we were nothing but a floor of strangers, scared to make any sorts of mistake that would anger/offend anyone on the floor. But now, it's like we're a family. Of course, we fight, we get mad, we yell, we say things we don't mean, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't want to come back to any other floor. When someone's puking their guts out, everyone bands together to make them feel better. No questions, no judgement, just help. When someone's crying, we're here to comfort them and give them a bunch of shoulders to lean on. When someone's happy, we're here to celebrate and be happy for them. When someone's too drunk to walk home, someone's here to make sure they get the fuck home and into bed. And if someone happen to fall, someone's always there to literally pick them up. It's such an incredible support system above all else. I totally lucked out and have the best floor a girl could possibly ask for. They make CAL a little more bearable (HAHA, GET IT? BEAR-able??!! HAHA!) each and every day. I love my floormates soo much, probably too much. I honestly have no idea what I would do without them.

Halloween 2010.

September 2010: The first month.

GOLDEN BEARS

It's the BIG GAME WEEK here at CAL, WOOT GO BEARS! What does this mean? It means we're totally going to dominate the dreaded STANFURD (aka Stanford, YUCK! TEEHEE JK!) Literally everything here is bleeding blue and gold. LITERALLY. AND I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH! I wish CAL looks like this all year round, that would just be lovely.

"IT LOOKS LIKE DISNEYLAND!" Tis it does.

From the rooftop of Campbell. Look at the bay, it's sooo purty!

My school's beautiful. It makes me happy. Minus the class and grades part.

GUILT-FREE GUILTY PLEASURES- PART 2

Not always so guilt-free...but we do it regardless.

1. Drunk. Texting. Come on, it's totally lethal. If we're not allowed to drunk drive, we shouldn't be allowed to drunk text. You usually end up regretting it as soon as you hit the send button. Do you really want to send out "isss drunkesss, yoooou facewe beee custeee, i meesf youus anedd setfxxxy timoeee" to your ex-boyfriend or "howww do i getsdsss homeeeq froxxm dethh frwaat???!" to your mother? DIDN'T THINK SO! So, be smart and leave your phone at home OR get someone else to carry it for you. TEXT SMART.

2. Drunken make outs. Sure they're all fun and games at the time but there are so many consequences that result from your 7 minutes in heaven. They make walking around campus scarier than the Grudge (and that girl scares the BEJEEBIES out of me). There are no safe zones; your hookups can be ANYWHERE and you WILL run into them when you least expect it. Especially if they live in the same proximity as you, then you're in for tons of awkward elevator rides and those are the worst. It's always weird seeing someone you sucked face with in a dark frat during the day, everyone looks different out in the sun. And without alcohol. Just an FYI.

3. Choosing sleep/food/doing nothing/blogging/fbing/tumblring/shopping/basically anything and everything over school work. This one's self explanatory and a given. (I'm doing this as we speak, you poli sci paper, you wait until I'm finished!)

4. Eating fries over veggies. We're college students, stressed out hungry growing college students. Veggies DO NOT and WILL NOT fill you up like fries do. Nor do they taste half as good.

5. Making endless lists of activities that you know you'll never get around to because you're an lazy arse. GET OFF YOUR ARSE AND JUST DO IT FOR HEAVENS SAKE! (I need to start taking my own advice)

6. Only believing horoscopes if you like what they say and totally ignoring them if you don't.

7. Doing something utterly crazy like streaking, getting so drunk you don't remember, skipping class for a concert, throwing your phone into the pool for no reason at all, skinny dipping, breaking and entering and using the excuse "WE'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE!" to justify it.

8. Hitting snooze for the 5th time, switching positions for the 20th time, and sleeping through your next 2 classes. It happens to some (if not all) of us at one point or another.

9. Waking up at 8AM on a Saturday morning with a super full bladder. What else can we do but ignore it's pleas and begs, and go right back to sleep! The only problem is waking up 4 hours later with an ANGRY bladder who wants nothing more than revenge. It's painful and totally not worth it, trust me.

10. Having different groups of friends. There are your "party hardy friends," your "hang out occasionally cause I have nothing else to do friends," your "class time friends," your "high school friends," your "BFF if I don't see you for 4 hours I feel like I'm going to die friends," etc etc. There are just some people that you want to be with more than others in different situations. Everyone has their niche; some were meant to party and others to study and some were meant to just be with constantly. That's just how life is.

What are your guilt-free (but not really) guilty pleasures? Share some!

MESSED UP MONDAY

I'm completely out of interesting/relevant titles, so I've resorted to the "college days of the week." ENJOY! I definitely do not indulge in what these titles insinuate. I mean, Messed Up Monday, really? I don't think so! I barely want to leave my bed on Mondays much less party in any way. I guess Messed Up Monday can refer to the fact that it's messed up that we have to be in class on this gorgeous Monday. It's such a shame. I can think of nothing better to do on such a day then passing out in my bed for a couple hours before heading over to main stacks for a round of essay writing and lecture catching up. GREAT!

Denim on denim: How much is too much? What do you guys think?

I don't know why but I kind of dug this look. It's different (even though it's the same fabric, HAHA HAHA!). Usually I'm completely and utterly against it. But now, I think it can also be totally chic. The deciding factor really depends on how you carry yourself. If you believe you look amazingly beautiful in something, it totally shows. And choosing the right two kinds of denim really helps.

(via the sartorialist)

My take:

denim boys top: crossroads ($6.50)

belt: urban outfitters ($10)

denim shorts: buffalo's exchange ($7.50)

trouser socks: dollar store ($1)

Today's actual outfit (the denim on denim was just an experiment):

Just something simple, easy and cool (temperature wise) because I only went to one class, which is all the way up in the dreaded dreary Evans.

Cheetah top: h&m ($10)

vintage belt: thrifted ($5)

denim shorts: buffalo's exchange ($7.50)

trouser socks: dollar store ($1)

brown ankle lace ups: urban outfitters ($68-->$39-->$19 SCORE!)

(Sorry for the crappy body shot, I was in a hurry)

SANDCASTLE IN THE SAND-ROBIN SPARKLES

A week in photos (and some stranglers that didn't make past posts):

This week felt like a blur. I felt like I didn't do much-I didn't. I felt like I don't remember much-I don't. Regardless, it was nice. It was a week of too much: too much food, too much free time, too much ditching, too much sleeping, too much partying, too much falling, too much Modern Family, too much complaining, too much sunlight, too much of not doing work. Oh the consequences of being young. And naive. And bored. And procrastinating.

P.S. Another new layout. Simpler. Classier. Prettier. Inputs?

BLOGGERSTRUCK

Liz from Late Afternoon, Laura from Shop It To Me, Yvan Rodic from Face Hunter

Last night, FAST and BARE at CAL hosted a fashion/blogger forum with 3 very prominent bloggers. Beforehand I met up with Samantha from fazed-girl and it was surreal! Even though I feel like we're friends, buddies, comrades via internet, it's so weird actually meeting them in person! Sam was super friendly, cute and down to Earth. Back to the forum, it was set up as a huge session of Q&A and it was so amazing! I've been following Liz for awhile and finally seeing her in person was so overwhelming! She's even more beautiful in person (how is that even possible right?!) and tall! Oh boy is she tall! Ahh, I was so starstruck, I couldn't stop staring at her! Yvan Rodic was super well spoken (okay, I just thought his accent was beyond amazing) and silly. Laura was pretty quiet because the questions were aimed towards bloggers but she was extremely pretty and well dressed. Well, pretty much everyone was extremely well dressed and poised. It was intimidating how gorgeous everyone was, my heart was swooning at the shoegasm I was having throughout the WHOLE EVENT. Overall, I found the event to be very informative and helpful and all things pretty!

EDIT//++ (4:42PM)

A new layout. A simple banner because the spoons and forks made me hungry every time I looked at it!

DGAF WEDNESDAY

Woke up at 11 for a class at 12.

Did not go to class.

End of story.
