Ok, so I'm only going to tell this story for your entertaining pleasure..because it's prettyyy embarassing and a tad sad on my part.
Enjoy.
Alright so this Monday, I got...a little..ok..really lost..in the area where I've been going to
school for oh you know, 4 years. When I left campus to go back to my apt..I turned on the road I usually do only to find a cop in the middle of the road telling all the cars that they had to turn around..for a reason I was too flustered to understand. I immediately panicked because I had no idea how to get back the other way. I secretly wanted to ask the cop to kindly lead me in right direction. Dont judge, but, I don't quite have a sense of direction. Is that so bad? I know how to get to two places perfectly: School and my house. Other than that, it's bad news bears. In other words, never ask me for directions..
So I did the only logical thing to do: Drove aimlessly until I ended up on a highway I've never ever been on. I got off on an exit somewhere in cockeysville, parked in a metro parking lot, maybe or maybe not cried and had a little breakdown, and then called my sister to save me, of course. It didn't help that I was STARVING and hadn't eaten all day, and debated eating the trash on the parking lot floor..
My sister looked up where I was online and tried to tell me how to get back (bless her soul) but alas, it didn't work and I ended up on another highway only to find myself in Hunt Valley in another metro parking lot. By that time, I started imaginng myself roaming around the streets of Hunt Valley forever, never to be found, and being remembered on May 13th as the girl who got lost 2 weeks before graduation. I seriously thought I would never find my way back. At one point when my sister was trying to figure out how to get back she said "Well I don't know, because if you go one way, you could end up in harrisburg, and if you go the other way, you could end up in downtown baltimore." Really, those were my only two options?? At this, it's possible that I cried a little harder..maybe, and thought about making friends with the homeless guy sitting on the street because he would most likely become my new roomie. For a good 10 minutes, I just sat in my car refusing to move at the thought of taking a detour to Pennsylvania.
Eventually, with my sister on the phone, I started driving, and FINALLY got on the right exit. I also stopped at taco bell on the way, because I guess I thought the most repulsive fast food place would make me feel better after going through such a horrid experience. Not knowing where you are, and also starving and looking like your 12 to top it off, is the worst feeling ever. All in all, I drove aimlessly for 2 freaking hours and wasted a whole gas tank. Who does that???
I've concluded that
1. I need a gps
2. Some common sense would be nice too
FAIL.

A Week of Devastation
I'm not going to lie, my heart hurts a little this week. So much devastating news, and not enough food to make it better.
1. It's hard for me to even type this but, my beloved soap, All My Children, has been....cancelled. I've been watching this soap for yearssss. People have died, come back to life, and I have been watching every second of it. The drama brings happiness to my heart. I am truly devastated. What will I do with myself??? More importantly, what will Susan Lucci do???
2.Leah and Cory, my fave couple from Teen Mom 2, are divorcing!!! I really believed in their love, and I just cannot accept it. I cried during their wedding, and now their going to do this to me??? UGH.
3.I've lost my ability to do my favorite thing in the world, sleep. I'd like to thank the 11 pg crap paper of hell that I spent my precious weekend writing, for the nightmares it now feels the need to give me. This is what I have to say to you paper...
4. My poor uggs can't take the abuse any longer, and it shows. This is the second week in a row I have forgotten my rain boots at home, and ironically the second week in a row of rain. Joke. I should really invest in buying shoes other than uggs and flip flops...
5. Will Ferrell has taken over Michael Scott's place in the office, and regretably, I don't like it at all. I tried, but I just don't. My love for the office is slowly fading. Oh Michael, so many good times we shared ;(
If you see me with tears in my eyes this week...you know why
I'd like to dedicate P.Diddy's, "I'll be missing you", to my soap and Michael Scott:
'Every step I take
Every move I make
Every single day
Every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinking of the day
When you went away
What a life to take
What a bond to break
I'll be missing you...'

The One Month Countdown
An epic realization today: One more month until I graduate!!! I can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was getting ready for my first day of college--wondering what it was going to be like, what kind of people I would meet, and duh most importantly, if I would meet the love of my life there (My priorities have always been appropriate..)
I still feel as though I will start a new semester this fall. Then again, I also have an reoccurring nightmare that someone will tell me I need to take more classes and can't graduate. That would happen..
Everyone said it would go fast, but no one said it would go this fast. Graduation always seemed ages away to me, especially when I started my Freshman year and almost threw up at the list of classes I would have to take within the next four years. I watched both of my sisters graduate and thought: I wonder what it will be like to finally reach that point.
I've learned a lot in four yeaars, not only intellectually, but emotionally as well. Everytime I have a mini heart attack or feel as though I'm 2 seconds away from jumping out the window, I also get a little bit stronger. It's rewarding and satisfying to get it done and then recieve a good outcome out of it (most of time). When I decided to major in English initally I thought..sure, I love writing, and I guess I'm good at it? Four years in the major and some pretty fab teachers later, I've come to the realization that I am good at it, and hopefully will continue to become better through work experience and graduate school (crossing fingers)
I've also met some pretty great people here. I think that's what stands out the most to me: The memories and the friendships that I've formed. If only there was a video camera to capture all the ridiculous moments I've shared with my fave roomies, who just this week taught me how to make spaghetti for the first time! Big deal, I'm growing up right before my very eyes :)
Now..The 5 Do's and Don'ts of College (If you were wondering):
DO:
1.Enjoy every single minute
2. Have fun, but also do what you gotta do when you gotta do it
3.Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way
4.Go to class (Most of the time)
5.Suck up to your teacher (Just cry when that doesn't work)
DON'T:
1. Procrastinate (Ok I have no room saying this, but don't do it anyway..)
2. Date anyone in your group of friends..On that same note, don't date anyone you go to school with. Really..just sat NO..
3.Pick roomies who you don't really know..
4.Drink..without fab people by your side
5.Eat your feelings (who am I kidding..)
:)

Recovery
At last, the devil week is over!!!!
I'm happy to report that I got an A on my 20 minutes of hell presentation! Though I think she secretly felt bad for me, I'll happily accept.
Somehow I was able to get words out of my mouth for a full 20 minutes, yet I couldn't quite make it to the 8 minutes for my chinese class. Orr maybe I could have if I wouldn't have mistaken my time checker's(Roomie B) peace signal for it's over!! instead of for there's 2 minutes left...fail.
Currently I'm laying in bed for the 5th consecutive hour recovering..
Sleeping in, True life marathon, Potbelly's.. prefect day, obv. :)
The devil week was made bearable for 3 reasons:
1. Thanks to my lovely roomies who made me do "the face" dance with them for a good 2 hours in my time of need. For those of you don't know, I'm kind of a big deal. When I did my media internship for the English departmet last semester, I was known as "the face of the english department." And let's be serious, even though my intern duties are over, I will always be the face. Hence, there was a dance made in my honor--and it's pretty FAB if I do say so myself. I will not be surprised if I find everyone at the bars doing it soon.
2. Thanks to a nice rando girl who complimented my writing skills. We were having an editing sesh in my magazine writing class and the girl who was sitting next to me editing my movie review on hall pass(save your money, watch the previews and proceed) turns and looks at me and says "You write really well..I still remember your stories from last semester too(also in my feature writing class) your style is really interesting." This made me day. Especially because at the time I was ready to jump out the window. It gives me hope that perhaps I picked the right career path after all. (Even if I might be living out of a box and eating mac and cheese for the rest of my life)
3. Thanks to Benjy for taking the time to properly learn how to do the cupid shuffle with me. He '"walks it by himself" quite well, be jealous.
My MTV show thoughts:
-I MUST comment on the joke that was the teen mom reunion. Seriously, 2 hours!? I felt emotionally and physically exhausted after watching it. Dr. Phil, I mean Dr. Drew is absolutely ridiculous. It seemed like he was purposely asking them questions just to get them to cry. AND I felt like he was trying to start drama with Corey and Leah (My fave). Their married, cute, and happy..just shut up already! PS: Leah, please check your bronzer intake before you leave the house. Also, I LOVE Kailyn's new love Jordan. So nice! Definetly an upgrade from that unfortunate looking Joe.
-If you look up douchebag in the dictonary, you are likely to see Adam's face from the Real World underneath. I simply have no words...
-Life is dull without Jersey Shore ;( One day I WILL go to Karma (because apparently it's the only place to go out in JS...) and fist pump.
Here's to a lazy- food eating-panic attack free weekend :)
And just incase you were wondering..

The Devil Week
For my first "official" blog, I'm going to do what I do best: complain, cry, and die a little bit inside.
As Peter from Family Guy says it best: You know what really grinds my gears??
Well, I'll tell you. Shouldn't I be drinking every night, not doing homework, and laughing at how ridiculously easy my classes are?? Yes, I SHOULD. Because I'm a senior in college gosh darnit, and that's the law. But no, instead I'm doing drinking vault( I gave up coke for lent and having been yearning for it everyday since) to stay up, doing homework on a saturday night, and having mini heart attacks at the disgusting thought of my to do list. I will answer my own question because this is in fact a JOKE. No other explanation..
Let's go through my week:
Monday
20-25 minute presentation on a play I half understood. 20 MINUTES!? Do they not understand that the mere thought of speaking infront of the class causes me a panic attack inside, let alone actually speaking for 20 MINUTES. Let's just say, utter shambles.
Tuesday
A test in my lovely class: Geography of Baltimore and Maryland. Remind me again, why did I take this class?? (Brit, I blame you of course) I barely know how to get to my own school, let alone the freaking geography of Baltimore. English, I know. Science and Geography=Chinese.Epic FAIL. I assure you he's laughing and perhaps crying at my answers as we speak.
Wednesday
Homework (Facebook), Homework (Facebook), Homework (Eat my feelings), Cry.
Thursday
As if one presentation wasn't enough to scarre me for life, here's yet another. And let's make it in my favorite class too..it starts with chinese. Not a big deal..
And No Jersey Shore to confront me..? Horrid. :(
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Complain about week.
I want to also note that I damaged my precious uggs in the rain this morning, and I was NOT happy. Why is it that I never wear my rain boots on the day that it's actually raining..?
Anoter note: I'm beginning to notice the fat protruding from the side of my hips. (Re: Wednesday) . You know it's true too when sweat pants make you glow with excitement and the waitor asks.."The usual, mozzerela sticks with fries?"
One last final note: Rebecca Black's "Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!!" is permanetly stuck in head. Enough said.
In good news, Teen Mom 2 reunion tonight! Never fails to make me feel better about my life-- can't wait! SPOILER ALERT: Sneek peak--Chelsea is back with Adam!? No job, "Tell me where to sign over for that mistake", doucher dad Adam..? My prayers are with her( And her new blonde hair).
I leave you with an image of my current mental state:
