Clothes.

Hellloooo everyone!!

Every week, I want to post more than once, but I just can never seem to get around to writing before Sunday. For this, I apologize. All week, all I want to do is post something, but as usual, school work takes precedence. womp.

Anyways, I realized that people care waaayyyyy too much about clothes. Way, way too much. Not just about clothes, but their appearance, and for some reason, the clothes that people wear somehow equate to their appearance. People find it so necessary to look their best and wear proper clothes. People stress so much about what is appropriate. Myself included! Seriously though, who cares?! what does it matter what we wear, shouldn't we all just wear what we like to? Sometimes, it irks me how much people care about appearances at the hotel school, but yet, I still feed into it. What do they say? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Regardless of all this philosophical-ness, I still LOVE clothes. I don't quite know why, but it is so fun to find new pieces and make new outfits. I like it. What can I say? Secret: one of my favorite pastimes is online window shopping....though I only actually buy something once in a blue moon. Additionally, anyone that knows me knows that I only buy cheap things. I mean REALLY cheap things. I own a number of shirts and sweaters that $5 or less. For some reason, a piece of clothing is so much more attractive when I know it's cheap. hahaha

Current Dress I am eyeing:

It's from forever21 and it is only $24.80. I might actually get this one........

My cool thing:

I REALLY WANT TO READ THIS BOOK. Another secret. I love Clinton and Stacy from What Not To Wear. I know. embarrassing. But I think they are hilarious, and I really want to read this! Tell me what you think of it if you have!

Overwhelmed.

Ok, I don’t want this to become a whining blog, but I am going to whine anyways haha. let me tell you. I have SO much to do! Today, I am in meetings straight until 9:30 at night (this lunch is my only break all day), after which I will continue to work on a group project until it is finished. Oh, and from 7-9 I somehow have to be at two places at once. I have a 25 page group paper due tomorrow (the one I mentioned before), 3 exams this week, and a dance performance on Saturday (which has multiple rehearsals before then). To top it all off, there is something stuck underneath my “D” key on my laptop, and so the key doesn't always work. Soooo, I will let you know if I am still alive after this week.

Ok whining done!

Haha funny story: today my friend posted this to my facebook wall:

“True story: I just watched a kid sitting by himself and all of the sudden he just started laughing for no reason. I immediately thought of you and was like oh he probably just cracked a joke to himself hahaha”

The funny part is that she is completely on mark to think of me. Hahahahaha

Ok cool thing for today!!

I have a really great cause that I would like to share with you—The Cause is called Krochet Kids, and they teach people in developing countries how to Crochet different things which they then help sell. It is a really great way to start moving these communities towards being self-sufficient, and I think it is GREAT what they are doing. The thing that is really cool about this non-profit is that the founders are just normal people who have a passion for helping people out. They were a bunch of guys who liked winter sports and taught themselves how to crochet. They thought it would be a good idea to teach others how to as well. Their story gives you that warm, fuzzy, reassuring feeling that anyone can do something small to help people out.

Here is the link to their website:
