when was the last time we thought to “reach up” and lowered our arms expecting something in our hands?
how does one touch the sky? don’t lie to me.

< rant >
i have back, neck, and shoulder pains. i’ve been lashing out on people and getting irritated with simple questions. i’ve been zoning out. then working myself into productive fits. i’ve still been laughing and joyously chatting with people obviously. i still make dumb suggestions and do spontaneous, stupid things.
but it’s all just so tiring. sigh.

KICK SOME MAJOR CONSTITUTIONAL ASS. YOU GOT THIS DOWN ON LOCKE.
i won’t judge guys based on what they look like. it’s true. not just saying that to seem like a better person than i am. it legitimately is a small factor in who i’m attracted to. but i WILL judge guys on how they dress. because it’s something they can control. and it’s an expression of how they want to be perceived, and how seriously they want to be taken. and how...

Sentimental We Da Peeper Speak
Jumping on the bandwagon to mark the anniversary of the most humiliating, devastating, significant, but most of all, beautiful loss of my life.
We weren’t crushed because we didn’t place first and win. We were crushed because we didn’t place first and win the opportunity to continue doing what we loved. With the people we loved. With the subject matter we were so passionate...

romance like costco
what im about to post is girly and i normally stray away from posting girlish issues or thoughts (which i am completely capable of, btdubs) but anyway.
seriously.
i feel like its a mini miracle when a person likes someone who feels the same way back. to the same degree. at the same time.
it’s like you’re at a particularly large costco and out of all the aisles and floor-to-ceiling...

have i lost my capacity to be creative?
sometimes i read old journal entries or tumblr posts and think to myself wow. i could never come up with those words now.
and so this question begs a larger one: am i seeing the world differently? are the colors slowly becoming less vivid? is sound becoming clearer in the sense that accuracy keeps me from misconstruing it in the way that i want to? is imagination a finite source that’s...

BUT WHY IS THAT THIRD STEP SO HARD SOMETIMES RAWR
i'll miss knowing the roads,
and the same familiar trees that line those roads. biology and common sense tells me they’re taller since i last saw them, their leaves different. but the comfort of reinforcing a memory makes me believe they haven’t changed a bit. that time stood as still as this temperate wind, as i was blown from place and people and experience in another life. it’s time to go back to that....
this year, and every year after that
i want to listen to people. i mean really listen to people, and not just wait for my turn to speak.
i want to stop asking “how are you” unless i really want to know.
between a true false question, i want to explore the “neither” option

is what i said to a friend today.
why? because i’m a broke college student who probably would be living in a crappy studio downtown, warding off cockroaches and depending on an annoying, overpriced subway system. i can’t fool myself and say i like new york city for its sheer diversity and livelihood. i like the smooth marble floors of important buildings. i like expensive coats and...

and in the end, i think i just like to win
i’ve finally figured out why i want to be a lawyer, and not a businesswoman (though i often find the two to be extremely interchangeable). the answer is simple: profit doesn’t excite me nearly as much as winning does.
i’ve always planned on studying business as an undergrad because i’ve always believed i wanted to be in business. i come from a small business upbringing....

but i miss hotseat the most
particularly those 10 seconds or so, when you finish the closing statement. you hear the timer go off. you put away your speech and regain composure (i always made it a practice not to take my eyes off of the panel when putting the speech away). your presentation mentality doesn’t necessarily dissolve or even shift into a hotseat one. more accurately, it’s like it starts to heat up....

declare your goals. claim them.
because when others know, so do you. because if you don’t, it’s easy to change your mind.
it’s not about letting others down. that’s bullshit. shouldn’t matter. but it is about others knowing you let yourself down. so i guess when i say failure is my greatest fear, i’m mistaken. my greatest fear is having others recognize that i have failed. but in the end,...
on my writing
i’m not an expert writer by any means but writing is a genuine passion. because i’m vain and i love to talk about myself. which probably is the main factor, though i may tell you that writing is cathartic and all. which it is. but let’s be real now i just enjoy being self consumed. ask anybody who calls him or herself a writer.
but even though i like to write because i like...

for heaven's sake christine
focus for crying out loud. you cant do your work without exhausting the google search engine with topics and products completely irrelevant to what you even need to be studying. sifting through information so recklessly must be disorienting to you. right? and you cant walk down the street before exhausting the possibilities of what lies behind each door you pass. what each door has represented to...

on the third-tierdom of BU
as someone fortunate to have intelligent friends at various prestigious institutions, i’ve mingled in ivy league crowds well enough to gain a comprehensive picture of the BU stereotype or image. foregoing the definition of first tier meaning top 50 schools on the U.S. news ranking (or otherwise known as God Himself to some) and assigning first, second, and third tier labels to schools...
WHY AM I SUCH A TERRIBLE STUDENT LOLOL
<rant>omg will i ever reach academic excellence. it’s sad because i am someone who genuinely is concerned about learning. i legitimately love to figure out how things work. i like to be intellectually challenged and understanding/learning is one of the best feelings for me. but according to tests i haven’t learned anything. LOL SAD STORY T.T </rant>
