FIELD TRIP!

On Friday, some girls from the thrifting and revamping decal and I decided to take a little "field trip" to mission in San Francisco for some thrifting fun (despite the rain!) Even though I'm a bay area native, I don't explore SF nearly as much as I should. When I think of SF I think of Fisherman's Wharf, Powell, Union Square, the beaches, and Chinatown. I never think of the awesome, cool, dare I say hip districts outside of the normal tourist must-see places. That is because I'm lame. So anyways, mission was awesome! I loved EVERYTHING about it! From the ridiculous amount of thrift stores within a 2 minute walk from each other, to the authentic looking mexican food (which we are dearly deprived of in Berkeley, the only mexican food near us is chipotle and la burrita, which I love!), cafes, cute little indie shops, to chic boutiques! Even though I was the only one to come home empty handed, I think I got the most out of the trip! It was fun hanging out with some new people and making some new friends who loves to thrift, yay! I can't wait to go back for round 2 and 3 and perhaps 4!

It's definitely 6AM right now and I'm currently working on a 125 point essay that's 20% of my final grade that's due at 2:10PM today. WHY DO I ALWAYS DO THIS TO MYSELF? Yes, I received this assignment 6 weeks ago and yes, I could have avoided all of this stress/no sleep/eyelids falling/knee&back ache but I never seem to learn my lesson. It's like I LIKE to inflict self torture onto myself. BLEH GAAAH AHHH BITCHFEST$& ASDFJK; POOP!

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!

Wild Child

Magazine: Marie Clarie UK

Issue: December 2010

Model: Leighton Meester (aka Blair Waldorf aka SEX GOD aka the reason for my hard on)

Photographer: Christophe Melmoon

Stylist: Lisa Oxenham

Leighton definitely looks like she's channeling Kate Beckinsale in this editorial right? Toootally. I am utterly in love with the massive curly swooshy hair picture; I just want to cuddle up and get forever tangled up in her soft swishy hair. She's also looking a bit like Eva Longoria, who's gorgeous as well. Not such a big fan of the colored photos, I'm not completely sure why, it might have to do with the fact that I dig her more as a brunette or something like that, there's just something off about the colored ones. But the B&W ones, mannnn, those definitely have me going GAGA! Girl is beautiful, she can really do no wrong in my eyes, gahh I have such a girl boner for her!

P.S. Just ordered myself a birthday present. It's a little bit on the extravagant/pricey side, but hey, a girl only turns 18 once right?! Well, technically it's a graduation/congratulations/happy birthday gift soo it's totally justified. YEAA. there we goo! What is it? Well, just wait and see! I definitely can't wait for its arrival!

ADMIST THE STARS AND PARALLAX

Astronomy homework. That I completely and utterly forgot about. EEKS! As always, I'm procrastination and waiting until it's practically due to start my assignment. When will I ever learn? Still, my addiction to tumblr is getting way out of hand. These inspirational photos make me feel on top of the world invincible and believe that anything is possible. It must be amazing to have that sort of mentality, I wonder if I'll ever be able to achieve it. I can only hope so.

6. Make a stranger smile.

9. Make somebody's day.

10. Have one unforgettable night (NOT THAT KIND OF NIGHT SHEESH!)

F*#%YEEEAAAH!

Late nights spent working on homework eventually always turns into internet surfing for whatever I can find. I just happen to stumble upon Is It A F Yeah?! which is beyond entertaining and just plain amazingly effin' EPIC! You simply have to check it out, it'll amuse you to no end! I promise you shall never EVER never get any sort of work done ever again! And that is certainly a money back guarantee. And below I have gathered a massive collective and eclectic clusterfuck of photos that suit my current thoughts, mood, feelings, wants, lusts, loves, etc. Can you guess which FuckYeah_____ I visited?

It definitely is cuddle weather here at Berkeley, cuddle with me? I call small spoon!

This is how I feel when I see the rain. The rain makes me SWELL with joy! Let's dance!

It smells like renewal of anything and just about everything. The world smells new.

Damn, tumblr is way too addictive...I think I may have a little problem on my hand...and I don't even have a tumblr account yet.

MEEEOW!

In honor of the seven lecture notes I have to reread and catch up on (sleeping in class/spacing out/facebooking is starting to take a toll on me...oops), I've started my usual procrastination routine. First, I eat, then I eat some more. Once I get sick of eating (AKA get a tummyache) I venture out to the lounge and chit chat for a while. When I get bored, I facebook. Then I shop. A lot. Tonight I'm fixated by shoes! Ahh shoes, I love them all! Flats, sandals, boots, heels, pumps, I don't discriminate. For some reason, I've decided that I'm desperately in need of a nice pair of leopard pumps and if I don't find a pair soon, I'll simply die-ie-ieee! They are just so undeniably sexy and chic, oh la la! You can easily dress it up or dress it down (by down...you know what I mean). I JUST NEED A PAIR IN MY LIFE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND A CHERRY ON TOP!

These are utterly perfect!!!! How delicious do they look? In the words of Christian Siriano, "FIERCE!!!" Too bad they're sold out at lulus.com :(

My search for the perfect pair is far from over, thankfully the night is young and I have a lot of work I'm trying to ignore.
