Facebook Addiction

So as the picture goes, I realized lately that it is very true. Most times in life, the things that are sweetest to us are not materialistic objects or places but feelings, emotions, and memories. I've been reminiscing a lot about my freshman year (living with Vong and Pierce), the awesome summer breaks (too many people to mention), the crazy spring break road trips,(with Jesse E., Tasha, Sarah and Antonina), the close friends I've made in the past year (Carrie, Greg, Katrina, Kristin, LeaAnna), and the connections I've made with so many other significant people in my college life. It's sad to think that I'll be leaving them all for NYC but then again, they will always remain in my heart and mind. Besides that, there's always calling, texting and Facebook!

Speaking of Facebook, I've finally come to admit that I AM a Facebook addict. I constantly find myself checking Facebook for feed updates and requests every 30 minutes or so, and also stalk interesting people and hot guys! And what are the consequences of being a Facebook addict?

The picture on the left says it all! Countless times, I've started writing a line for my papers, and then caught myself wandering onto the Firefox browser to the Facebook tab I have opened only to see that there were no new activities since the last time I checked 10 minutes ago. Sigh...what a sad addiction. And it's only one of the addictions on the list. There's StumbleUpon, LOL Cats, Failblog, Engrish, Failbook, Awkward Family Pictures, only to name a few. I guess I'd have to go get some CBT to get rid of these addictions before I venture into grad school life in NYC. With that said, I guess it's time to get back to work...

What Does Life Give?

This last 3 days have been relatively relaxed until I realized the huge amount of work I have due next week. Today was a really stressful day as work was crazy (trying to help a multitude of demanding students and answering phones for 2 hours straight), I had to file my taxes, I realized that I have 3 papers due next week and also a presentation in class on Monday, I owe the state $300 in taxes, and last but not least, being told that I was on a wait-list for offers by UWash - Seattle. Fuck it! It's only 2 more days till the 15th and so an offer from them now is pretty impossible.

That's when I realized that I was 'dyslexic' to life! I felt like it was giving me melons instead of lemons and that's why I was so stressed out. I failed to see the brighter side of things and so let the crushing weight of uncertainty and pressure affect me. What I failed to see was that UWash probably did me a favor by solidifying my decision on going to Columbia in NYC; that helping the bunch of bitchy demanding students built my patience; that I actually have 5 more days to pace myself out and complete the papers with relative ease; and that I should learn to budget more for unseen expenses like the taxes I owe. I guess now that my 'dyslexia' has been cured, it doesn't seem too bad after all. Looks like I'll be having a huge pitcher of melon-ade later!

Oh, and random tip of the day from my friend Katrina, the crazy girl:

"Recommendation, do not eat a cinnamon roll and try to play family feud on the computer, my keys are covered in cinnamon and frosting!"

I guess that's all for now. Till the next one!

XOXO,
Bry

Spring Clothing Choices

So, woke up this morning not knowing what to wear! All of a sudden, all my shorts, t-shirts and light jackets were options. So in the end, I decided on a pair of blue and white plaid shorts, a black light sweater, a white sport jacket, and my white Pumas! Yes! That's right! Spring is here!

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!

The Sun is Shinning, the Morning is Bright, and My Spirits are High!

Exactly my feelings right now! Thought I'd share this awesome picture (which Katrina stumbled upon) with you all. Also, that girl just cracks me up! This is a blurb from our recent Facebook conversation:

"So I just about freaked out because I looked down at my nails (on my left hand) and they were yellow...then I remembered I had just peeled and eaten a tangerine!"

Really, Katrina? LMAO! Oh yea, shout out to Jesse Kamsler too...Congrats on the visa! Ich werde versuchen, dich in der Schweiz zu besuchen! I hope I'm saying that right...

Bis später!
