People are the best.
I have such great friends. Knowing that there are people in this world that are invested in my well-being, that take time out of their busy schedules to make sure I’m alright, it’s just fantastic.
Today has been rough but you guys I love the people in my life so much. One of my bestest bestest friends just surprised me with ice cream because she read my latest post.
I'm taking a defeated day.
It’s kinda like a sick day or a me day only with an obvious difference.
I’m just really frustrated now cause I got donuts and I’m in my bed and ready to leave the world for a few hours but my roommate won’t leave. I’m never home during weekdays so I guess I didn’t realize that it seems like he just doesn’t do anything? Go to class or something dummy. I...

Researching JoJo at 10:30 on a Saturday morning.
Cause what else do people do?
Also what she was 13 when Leave (Get Out) was recorded? I knew every word to that song in middle school, were there other pop songs then? No this was the only one.

I wish I could explain to you the horrors of this...
but I am so far beyond that point. It’s so bad. So bad. I can’t even handle it. Doesn’t help that it’s 30. pages. long. This bitch made the font size 11 and only spaced it 1.5 hoping that no one would notice. No bitch. no. I changed it to the settings we’re supposed to be using, and yea. it’s 30 pages. We have a 5-10 page suggested range.
what.
what bitch.

Anonymous asked: let me also add: i do think the public education system as it stands is deeply flawed in many ways, but I think that putting public education vs. homeschooling is unfair and useless.

Anonymous asked: as you should. people who are able to home school their children ARE privileged. for a lot of parents it's not an option, for reasons ranging from time, money, their own educations, and fun mixtures of the three. a lot of parents simply don't have the means to educate their children at home.

whoops today took a turn south

watching pioneer woman on demand (jesus fucking christ, this bitch homeschools her kids and they are making jam, and she’s making it into a ‘LESSON’) while putting a significant dent in this bag of mint chocolate chips
This is pretty much exactly how I was raised. Until about 9th grade “school” was anything the hell we wanted it to be, from nature hikes to writing...

I was just rummaging around in my “stationary set” (a giant envelope crammed full of cards, stamps, stationary, envelopes, etc.) and I found a letter I never sent. It was written to my grandmother when I was 13 and in Honduras during one of the most arduous experiences of my life. YOU GUYS! IT’S LIKE BURIED TREASURE! Angsty, depressing, poorly written, true, honest, totally me,...

Unpopular opinion, but so far I'm pretty meh about...
I just don’t think any of the ones I’ve seen so far are THAT good of movies. My personal current ranking:
1. The Help (not best picture worthy, but at least I enjoyed it)
2. Midnight in Paris (a movie for people who are just like the pedantic antagonist)
3. War Horse (was this a drama? I didn’t stop laughing the whole time; “GUNTHER!”)
4. Tree of Life (horrible...

The fact that I like to eat is becoming a problem
because I don’t really have money and food in new york is really ridiculously expensive. All of my money keeps being taken from me unexpectedly (I just wrote a check for $250 that I really didn’t want to write) and I’ve been looking back over my finances and 90% of my “disposable” income goes towards food.
On a related note, I’ve finally realized why everyone...
I'm Sparknote-ing Romeo and Juliet and I just feel...
I mean, I’ve read it at least 3 times, seen several movie/stage adaptations, and was even IN the damn play. We’re talking about it in my Shakespeare class tomorrow and I just wanted to brush up. But that doesn’t really make me feel like any less of a failure as an English major.

I made homemade biscuits and gravy for the first...
(without a recipe go me) And then just now I took some of the leftover biscuits and the leftover cream from the gravy and some strawberries and now I’m having southern-style strawberry shortcake and hot damn I am a culinary master/genius.

“The Journey” - Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice— though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t stop. You knew what you had to do, though the wind pried with its stiff fingers at the...

dancingswallow:
“Wild Geese” - By Mary Oliver You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are...

First day of class
fatmacmcgee:
Professor says he believes America is the bestest because of our Anglo culture.
OUR ANGLO CULTURE.
I spent my day in a Shakespeare class where the professor literally spent the whole class shitting all over the sonnet form and talking about how structural poetry is a horrible means to convey emotion.
Do the professors at NYU know anything? Pretentious elitist WASPs.
NYU is...
