Late Nights

So the third year of me being in college started about a month ago and the school work is starting to pile up. It's almost midnight and I have yet to work on anything. I keep finding ways to distract myself. Those distractions being the following: making a cup of Chai, fixing some jellied toast, getting lost in the blog world and envying their exciting lives.

On a happier note I got to spend some time catching up with a friend of mine that I adore spending time with. After high school, I felt like I should ditch having "best friends" and instead, have just a few good friends, not best. I only say this because I know all friends come with an expiration date and it's easier to keep them nearby but not too close. But I am glad I got to spend time with her. We both parked in different parking decks yet neither of us could remember what floor which meant a lot of walking around in and to parking decks.

I found this online. It makes my heart smile.

Cheer Up Holden

I love to read books. My favorite types of books are the classics. You always hear about the classics and if you've read enough of them, you are able to pick up references in movies and conversations.

Last weekend I managed to find the time to read and finish J.D. Salinger's novel, "The Catcher in the Rye". This novel was published in the early 1950's but gained it's popularity in the 1960's. I found an article online from the NY Times about how "The Catcher" is losing it's popularity with the new generations. I really don't know why. One claim is that this book was "unrelateable" but it is quite the opposite. Holden is scared, young and confused about life and growing up which is something that we all feel or have felt at some time or another.

"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."

The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 26


All I know is that after reading this novel, I really do hope that Holden ended up happy.

Another Year, Another Wrinkle

So today is my birthday! Who knew June 16th would get here so fast? I was planning on spending the day by watching movies, getting dressed up to go buy a Chai Latte (cross fingers it's the cute guy that day), finish watching season 2 of a television show that is ridiculous yet I still watch and end it by studying and working on my Psych 2103 project that's due tomorrow. Yes I know, who takes summer courses? Me of course!

But mum has surprised me and took the day off from work to spend with me. I'm flattered but I don't like making a big deal about birthdays. As long as my parents remember to tell me "Happy Birthday", I'm good. So now I have to figure out something else to do all day.

Also, I really miss my dog. Like a lot. I am sure I sound ridiculous to some but I miss him terribly. And there's no one else I'd rather spend my birthday with than him.

Memorial Day

I hope everyone has a splendid Memorial day! If you know a soldier or see one, tell them thank you! Because freedom is never free. And it costs their lives to allow us to have the ones we have. Any who, it keeps wanting to rain in Georgia so we'll just have to see how much longer the rain will hold up. Have a good day love.

Endless Waves

I found a photograph on the internet of person's bedroom. What I love about their room is the giant canvas of a gloomy ocean that seems to stretch out forever. I like how it is placed on an easel at the end of their bed. Just picture: yourself lying in bed, staring at this canvas. It makes you feel so small yet that anything is possible. This artwork would make me think about a lot of things and I find it very motivating! Here is the room that I'm blabbering about:


And here are the two photographs that I have been able to find so far that are sort of similar. I like this first and second one the best. Though the third allows me to "mentally picture" myself there.
