photo-11so february is winding to a close, and i’m entering that state of mind where i begin to freak out a tad bit. yes midterms are over, but when you’re in a business school, double majoring in marketing and finance and minoring in a completely different field of study a.k.a classical studies, this time is more than a bit stressful. trying to transition between these two completely different fields while studying is not fun, but hopefully it’ll be rewarding in the end. otherwise i’ll just buy myself some ben and jerry’s greek fro yo, and eat the whole carton.. it’s fro yo, i won’t feel too badly. actually, i won’t feel bad at all. anyhow, february is ending and spring is getting closer and i want everything to slow down a little bit. or maybe i need to slow down, and try to process everything at a slower rate, but that’s easier said then done, isn’t it?photo-9photo-8

kerr-bloom-ferguson-w724so realistically speaking, i should be commenting on the best dresses at the oscars, which there were many of. instead i chose to do something different, which is something i always seem to be doing.. sorry, can’t help it! you know how different writers and artists have muses? well maybe in some weird alternative universe i could be robert frost’s muse, because that whole “i took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” has meg written all over it. now these less traveled roads are not always the best of ideas, but it’s worth it to say you at least tried. okay, back to business, sorry for tangent-ing, per usual. my favorite dresses from oscar’s night actually showed up at the vanity fair after party, and i basically would have loved to attend, but i guess my invite got lost in the mail. it’s all good though, because next year i’ll so be ready, rocking a unique dress, making robert proud. article-0-18449A7E000005DC-206_634x859oscars-afterparty-dresses-lily-collins-h724oscars-afterparty-dresses-amy-adams-h724oscars-afterparty-dresses-solange-h724

this past weekend my girlfriends and i slipped away to new york for the weekend before the upcoming hell week known as midterms. after multiple arrival times (some getting in closer to 1 am on saturday morning), we all trekked into the city, pulling off a gracefulness i didn’t know was possible… if you noted any sarcasm in the last sentence, you’re correct, i felt like a bag lady. either way, this past weekend was one of the best of my life. we traveled the whole entire city, visiting beloved new york spots, got a taste of new york night life (which won’t be mentioned here, other than the fact that nicknames were made due to our nightlife experiences), stuffed ourselves with food, and shopped only a little bit, i swear! one thing i did appreciate was being able to experience true winter weather, bone-biting cold and all, but i can’t say that my west coast and southern friends felt the same, especially after “losing” their coats a.k.a they were stolen. so in typical cheesy fashion, in the words of frank sinatra “it’s up to you, new york, new york”, and after this weekend i congratulate you new york on fulfilling your duty as the greatest city in the world.

love is in the air

tumblr_m7qlu3uMO11rytfqio1_500so today is that special day… valentine’s day, and everywhere i go i am reminded of that. from my instagram, to facebook, or even just seeing lovebirds flitting about campus, so in love they just can’t even handle it. this year though, i happen to have a man in my life. yes i do, and i happen to be wearing his shirt today. i don’t want to reveal too much detail, but i guess i will share this: he’s a player for the new york knicks. yes, my man happens to be carmelo anthony. clearly this is a total joke, but love is about dreaming, and clearly that’s what i’m doing. i will wear my shirt loud and proud today, and as cliched as it sounds, celebrate myself and the friends i love and care for. (and maybe walk around campus listening to love in this club by usher, because clearly that’s what life is all about…)97befed64e086d0ece12b06c4b3f2642tumblr_m7mko62WSr1qkrl3co1_500tumblr_mg7vz2Iv5S1qct7qso1_500tumblr_mfusf6uWlZ1qazha9o1_500tumblr_meggqc1ib11rbqd2go1_500

grammys, i will wait, mumford and sons, music

tumblr_lr4fw5ml0U1r1iyfho1_500last night i happened to miss my boys perform… yes, i refer to mumford & sons as my boys, and yes, missing them wasn’t a good time for me. i started watching the grammys literally right after they performed, so i have spent the majority of today watching their performance over and over. they happen to be coming into town (aka dc) this week, and tickets sold out in under six minutes. six minutes. i was in class and unable to purchase said tickets, even though i’ve been waiting to see them for years.. so unless i work out some last minute deal, or delve into the world of craigslist, me finally seeing my favorite band in concert won’t be happening. instead i’ve put together a group of “rustic” photos which i like to look out while listening to the babel soundtrack. seriously, try it out, the combination just works. tumblr_mg0eki0Aho1r9ouy2o1_500tumblr_mgac2aGJ731qa431co1_1280tumblr_mg9e7yYsfr1r5eg77o1_1280

tumblr_m96tkmBb7v1rvy9l2o1_500if you follow my blog regularly or happen to know me in real life, you’d know that i tend to obsess over little details. so when i tell you this next little quirk about myself, please try not to judge too hard… i plan out my computer backgrounds according to month/color scheme/feelings, etc. i admitted it, it’s out there, i can’t take it back. now i know it seems a bit crazy, but i love putting the photos together and having a new montage every month. friends will look at it and say it looks cool, i tell them i put it together really quickly, but little did they know i may have been storing photos for weeks. i won’t say any more on this topic, but enjoy february’s photos (and maybe share some of your quirks with me too.. i promise you won’t look as crazy as me).
