beginning of awesome ENTITIES posts :) plus... maybe study abroad?

sooo school is painfully boring. i know that college is supposed to be fun, and i know that it would be wise of me to stay at my current university because of the supposedly awesome art program (which in my opinion is bs and even amateur, but it's ranked really highly so i guess it's impressive to graduate from... or something like that). anyway, since i don't think i should transfer and i hate my school, my solution is to study abroad! for an entire year! im hoping that this isn't the worst decision of my life. italy is my destination :) i want a small town with a few hidden away bars & clubs, a lot of beautiful sights, and kind locals. basically, the opposite of where i live now.
okay so to make my blog more interesting (who am i kidding, it's so boring right now - so to make it interesting period) i am going to post things (which i am going to call entities to make them more distinct than just boring "things") that will enthrall you! you will be so amused and captivated that you will be utterly thankful that you stumbled across this page. maybe.
so here's the first entity that i think is worth knowing about:

awesome band with awesome sounds. they started in the early 90s and were together for 8 years before breaking up. when they got back together in 2006 they started a u.s. tour and received a bunch of awards for their contributions to hip-hop. i like bugging out, can i kick it?, and electric relaxation. although a lot of their other songs are really cool too. i like the beats and the interesting lyrics... and the lack of naughty words. not that curse words offend me, but it's nice to know that rap can be popular without them.
enjoy!

books > internet, and where has my summer gone?

http://www.collegehumor.com/ isn't that funny. im disappointed. the book is much better.
anyway autumn is almost here, which is excited for some reason, even though i hate cold weather & long pants & christmas music & coats & frizzy hair & chapped lips. and everything else that comes with winter. but i like the crisp air (i hate when people say "crisp air", even though i know what they mean. it just sounds dumb) and the colors of the leaves, which i will be able to see in our 1 shitty park.
i feel like i wasted my summer because i didn't spend days on end sitting at home with nothing to do, and the 1 beach trip that i did go on included my family and did not result in a tan.
i need to travel more to get this out of my system. im thinking florida over winter break, and europe next summer. exciting!! now i just have to get through this school thing... what a damper...

return of the (me)

helloo little abandoned blog. it's lame that i don't write anymore.
im back at school, almost enjoying my classes, and gettting restless. i want to travel. i want to be lazy in a new place. i want to cook. i want to meet people. i want to make something. i want to eat a fresh pineapple on a beach. im terribly bored of school. i know i need to be here but i can't focus anymore!
on to more interesting things... here is a cool picture that i found online:

photographed for a magazine, i think it's by nan goldin. she's amazing, and if this is her image then she becomes even more awesome. i love fashion photography is a really shallow, annoying way.

twloha day!!

hey!! today is To Write Love On Her Arms day, which means that if you're cool you will write LOVE on your arms and proudly strut around showing off your support for the awesome organization. you all know from a previous post that i admire the cause. i know that the day is almost over... but if you're going out tonight, or you wanna pretend tomorrow that you took part in the celebration of love, go ahead and grab a sharpie. i did :)
im finishing up a lengthy reading for my history class (i wish i could claim that im being productive but the reading was for a paper that was due yesterday... ooops). in a few hours i'll be passing out. goodnight!!

washington d.c. & dreaming of summertime!

well. since i wrote last, i got into my major of choice (photography), visited home a few times (the incredible city of Charlottesville, Virginia - everyone should go there at least once in their life, it's amazing), and have been to the gym a countless number of times. i've been working so hard to get in shape but i never seem to have any energy. which makes me so annoyed. im not sick, im just always sleepy. and school takes so much time & energy that it's hard to make getting in shape one of my top priorities. but summer is coming up (THANK GOODNESS) which means fewer clothes and more skin... ha.
yesterday 2 of my best friends and i drove a few hours north to just outside of washington dc, one of my favorite places, where we took the metro into the city and then met up with another lovely lady, one of my good friends who i haven't seen in over a year! i missed her so much and i had a great time spending the day wandering around georgetown with the three of them. but the wind was incredibly intense, so most of my focus was aimed at holding my skirt down, as to not flash half of the city.
it's a beautiful day today, and although im very sleepy im thinking of working out later. i should make the most out of the last few weeks of the semester, instead of lying in bed avoiding homework most of the time.
i cannot wait for summer. it's like my oxygen, it's how i make it through the rest of the year. and im running out!!

abandoned?

my poor little blog, left alone for so long by itself. i apologize. I was, err, busy? sort of. my portfolio is due tomorrow, i need to submit it to apply to an art major. so i guess i have been busy. i was also just lazy over spring break. and sick. always tired, too. i spent spring break with my boyfriend, which was a lot of fun, and very chill. 

damn i need a nap. time for history reading, then class, then maybe apartment hunting with my best friend? we shall see. 

find that song

hello!! so i found an awesome website where you can find the songs in commercials with title and artist - i think it's pretty cool because i often see a commercial and want to know what the song is. after all, the songs are usually decent because they're picked to help set a certain mood in the consumer. check it out http://findthatsong.net/

early to bed, early to rise, and to the gym!! i hope.
goodnight!
