Hello Loves,
Just finished homework that is due tomorrow, after attempting it multiple times, and finally getting it right. Stoked.. The TV was off, headphones were in, and a Redbull was in hand.. Turned out to be a magical combination.
So I am so ready for December at this point. November has been a rollercoaster of things, and I am ready to drop the dead weight, leave the past at what it is, and move forward.. I am actually really excited for this upcoming month. I have a lot of big things coming up... and I'm determined to just go for it. I love fresh starts, and changes of scenery.. and I am going to get both.
This month I had to relearn a lesson I seem to always come back to... Don't stress so much, things will ALWAYS work out.. in whatever timing and in whatever way that they do, they do work out.. It sucks being stuck in the temporary stress of where you are at and dealing with rough situations.. but if you can get yourself to the point where you just step back, force yourself to breathe... you will start to relax, and it will do wonders for the world around you.

That's what your 20's are for, right?!
1. To drink, legally, and see if it's still as fun.
2. To have your heart broken, and break a few hearts.
3. To heal from the broken hearts, and find what you really want.
4. To make the kind of big mistakes you really learn from.
5. To go through your last round of sharing a room or a place until you get married.
6. To bounce through a few jobs, and maybe even change a career.
7. To blow a large chunk of money on a random trip somewhere, that you'll never forget.
8. To eat whatever you want, and have a great way to justify it, even if that reason is because it tastes great.
9. To go to, through, college, or multiple.
10. To love going home partly because you get fed home cooked meals.
11. To see old friends from highschool, and catch up on what's gone on since then.
12. To still watch animated/cartoon movies and it passes as acceptable.
13. To try somethings that you swore you never would.
14. To dress slightly scandalous, questionable, or just a little too funky.
15. To decorate your apartment like an Urban Outfitters Magazine.
16. To drive on E for days and pray your car doesn't randomly stop.
17. To sign for a house or an apartment on your own.
18. To get a job that's exciting and you can buy a round of drinks for your friends in celebration.
19. To learn to say you're sorry when you've really messed up.
20. To not take things so seriously, and enjoy what life has to offer..

Life is a cycle of continual change....
I think I learn this lesson more and more as time goes by...
I feel a lot of people might not "like change" but I have tried to learn to embrace it..
It is inevitable, so why not take it for what it is, and make the best of each situation..
Managing stress I feel is key to any person's sanity.. I used to be one of those people who was constantly stressed, always flustered over homework I had to get done.. I've in the past 6 months or so tried to change that.. Read a book that I highly recommend to just about anyone.. "Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff..." Helped me reset my mentality.. and now I might freak out for a second, or have to vent.. but I have learned to try and just remember.. it all gets done, it works itself out, it may suck a little... but stressing does nothing to resolve the situation.. Currently, I have ALOT on my plate.. but I am trying to be like.. yeah, it's not ideal.. but it's going to work out somehow, it has to.. There's no other options..
To all those on their grind, sucking down caffeine, running to class, work, appointments and more.. Take some time to prioritize, and destress.. Keep your sanity.. it's kind of crucial. :)
Random Facts:
Currently can't stop eating: Veggie Footlongs from Subway
Music: Adele, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry
Movies: Harry Potter - New convert.. (Dare I say, I might like it better than Twilight?!)
What's on my mind, as Facebook would ask.. TECHNICAL PACKS. Homework I should be doing right now...
Current Read: Magical Thinking.. So far so good.

These photographs may not be my original works. Many are pulled from sites I visit from time to time.. or things I happened to stumble upon..
They might be funny, eclectic, stupid, or funny.. just some random things, from the corners of my mind.
Enjoy.

Walking the streets of Los Angeles..
I've decided to add some of the lovely and by lovely I mean ridiculous things I encounter on the daily in Los Angeles.
I have dating, pick up lines, creeper stories to go on for days...
But today was just one of those days.. That everyone was out and ready to creep.. I really don't know what it is.. I really think I have a sign on me somewhere that guys can see that says.. please be obnoxious.. because things often times get out of hand..
I wasn't even trying to be cute today.. I promise.. I was going to work... nothing special.. I had a few errands to run this morning and got:
Mmmm'd at.
Honked at.
A creep yelling Heyyy out the window.
The typical and uncomfortable eye undressing..
and a funny guy trying at a stop on the corner.
So I walk up to this corner and there was a guy in a very nice car... who was very attractive... and then he proceeded with a generic, "Hey Cutie.." I have this horrible reflex.. of laughing at guys like that and let out a nice laugh and a smirk of - Really?! That's the best you got? I also happened to run into one of the security guards from my college who I acknowledged and he so kindly waited right behind me until the light turned and the guy left.. Thank you FIDM Security...
But this occurrence reminded me of another situation.. A guy on another stopped corner in a nice.. Maserati.. very attractive guy and his friend and he proceeded to throw out the line.. "Where's the party at?!" - Again.. let out a laugh.. and was like.. that is the line you think is going to get a response from me?! It was like noon and I just finished a yoga class and looked like a hot mess.. I wanted to turn to his friend and be like.. really, you let your buddy go down like that?!
As promised.. This blog is for you guys.. Some tips..
1. Never honk at a girl.. It's stupid, and derogatory.. and makes you look like a douchetool.
2. If you are going to try to hit on a girl while you are in your car.. Think of something original.. Or we will just think you are an idiot.
3. I know you might think you are being sly in checking us out.. but I promise.. we notice.. control yourselves.. just a little more.
4. We appreciate your compliments.
5. But when you say you like our eyes when we are wearing sunglasses.. again.. just makes you look silly.
6. Whistling is a no-no..
Hope this was somewhat enlightening..
Haha
Happy Friday.

Friendzone...
I am surprised I haven't blogged about the never ending topic yet... dating and relationships...
I should be doing homework right now.. but I am taking a few minutes to do this blog.. I am watching a new show on MTV called Friendzone..
Where friends act like they need their friend's advice planning a blind date, and then end up asking their friend on that date...
One poor guy just got hardcore... FRIENDZONED.. I don't know about you.. but when I am watching something on TV and the scene is awkward I get realllyyyyy uncomfortable.. Like I bashfully look away or have to change the channel.. I know.. LAME.. But I can't deny it. Haha.
But this show made me think of one basic premise.. Sorry guys, this is written more for girls.. I promise to have some info for you guys soon too..
Dear Girls,
If a guy likes you.. HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!! If you are a more visual learner.. Purchase the movie "He's just not that into you.." , If you consider yourself more of an intellectual.. Feel free to get the book.. But it's really sometimes that simple.. all the crazy hormonal theories and formulas most girl's come up with are crazy. Legitimately slightly off the rocker crazy.. Try out the concept of letting him make it happen.. If he's really interested.. He will.. Now I know it might suck, if he doesn't like you and nothing happens.. and sometimes it is a little blow to the ego.. but really.. Put your big girl pants on.. and brace the real fact that.. dare I say it?! Not everyone is going to like you, or want to date you and you will be FRIENDZONED sometime in your life.. Now so I don't sound like an ultra pessimist.. the good news to that is a lot of guys WILL like you, and put in the effort to date you... Date those guys.. not the douchebags that make you cry, and feel like crap about yourself.. When a guy likes a girl he will pull out all the stops.. cute, thoughtful stuff.. Not all the time.. but it will happen usually in the beginning.. Enjoy it while it lasts.. Haha.. Also know the difference between trying to get in your pants, and wanting to date you.. Clear sign of douchebaggeryyy and pantsrobberyyy is when a guy just does things that cost a lot of money.. Don't bite onto that.. it's making you a dinner hooker.. literally.. Nice dinner, maybe a movie, and dessert if you're lucky, and then they expect to get some.. Making girls.. Dinner hookers.. Hold yourselves to a higher standard... Read the body language and take note to the conversation.. and you should easily be able to tell the good guys.. from the panty nabbers..
Moral of the story.. Girls.. stop being so ridiculous - that's the reason guy's think girls are crazy and don't end up liking you.. if a guy likes you, he'll make some effort... :)
Until next time...
