Friday November 8th, I got a late birthday present from one of my friends back home! She got me a 1990’s coloring book and some christmas underwear! She got me a coloring book because I still love to color! (although I’m now 19….) I started this habit of doing kids coloring pages whenever I get stressed out when I was maybe 13 or 14. So, essentially by the time of high school, I just started coloring a lot! I even got in trouble multiple times for bringing my coloring books and colored pencils to class and coloring during lectures, oops! 🙂 The funny part is that I don’t draw and I’m not very creative… BUT I do know how to color inside the lines of coloring pages!
Saturday November 9th, 2013. I spent both Friday and Saturday night at my friend Jaden’s house again! Her parents were gone all weekend and so were her siblings so we had the house all to ourselves! (Which I might add is so much more enjoyable after spending so much time in a small dorm room) We ate a bunch of junk food (ice cream, chimichangas, chocolates, quesadillas, etc.) and messed around all weekend! We even colored out of my new coloring book :D! In this picture we are just being silly! I’m wearing a piece of one of her old Halloween costumes and she is all wrapped up in a blanket, because it was FREEZING outside! Us California girls aren’t used to this type of weather!
This week on Monday November 11th, 2013. The Emerald, the school newspaper did a style column on me! I was really excited to do it because I take a lot of pride in my style. I always try to reflect all the different aspects of my personality in my style. So a photographer and a writer came to my dorm and did a brief interview about my style preferences and took some pictures! All of my friends heard about it too and were very excited for me! I feel really proud to have my style recognized 🙂
Tuesday November 12th, 2013. I got TWO MORE packages of birthday presents late! One was from my boyfriend and one was from my best friend. I was so so so beyond excited to see what they got me, and I was not disappointed. They both know me so well! My boyfriend Robbie got me the “baby girl” sports bra because that’s what he always like to call me and the “Ain’t no wifey” sweatshirt because I always tell him how I’m an independent woman and that I don’t need a man’s guidance to have a happy, successful life. My best friend Rachael got me the floral muscle tee, and my favorite candies: german chocolate, caramel chocolate, and Sour Patch Kids. She also got me a sticker book (because she knows how much I love my stickers) and a little book that says what she loves the most about me. I felt so special and loved getting things that I really enjoyed. I feel like my friends really know me and it’s so gratifying to have someone love and appreciate who you are so much 🙂
Although my other pictures seemed like I had a very fun happy week, I was actually extremely stressed! I had a LOT of homework to do this week AND I have ANOTHER Econ midterm! Luckily I have the midterm over with and the week is almost through. This picture is of the really scary spiders that engulf the outside of the window of the study room on my floor. I can say it’s definitely a distraction from Econ when the scary spiders inches away from you are spinning webs and acting all creepy! I mean there IS a window in between BUT it’s still horrifying! I had to go in the study room all week because my roommate is always in the room talking in her baby voice to her boyfriend on facetime, gross. So scary spider room it is………..
