Indifference

In a nutshell, these weeks have been stressful. It's not that overwhelming-about-to-rip-your-hair-out stress but it's the more subtle but will still slay you stress. I'm not overloaded with school work or anything, but just thinking of all of the things that need to be done before the semester is over with is stressing me out, thinking about work is stressing me out, thinking about stress is stressing me out. Yes, I mentioned work because ya girl is now a working girl and already cannot wait until season is over. This has basically been my life thus far. I anticipate my camera being fixed so I can attempt to update frequently once again. Enjoy the fatality of my phone 'camera'.

So I edited this post twice but each time I attempted to add the pictures the connection went wrong so fuck the story, I'm not writing it a third time. It was really entertaining too.

Recently, two nights ago now to be very technical but right now it still feels like "last night" comprendes? That was a terrible sentence by the way, I didn't even complete the phrase I began ~hardy har terrible. Haha, anyway, so there was a school sanctioned event named THXBLVCKOVT and it was just this grand excuse for me to sport the new over-sized top I snagged from Wal-Mart for $3, yes three. At events such as these I see females just taking it as an excuse to wear no clothes. As much fun as that is, it's not fun when hands are creeping in your underwear line. Yeah, that's never cute. At all. 

Life is really loading on me and it's moving so quickly at this point. It's so hard to keep up when you get to this point; it's like trying to run with a moving car. At some points you can be equal but you can never outrun it unless the car comes to a complete stop... Enjoy it while it's moving slow is all I can really say.

Time to do better

I'm annoying. Hell of a way to begin a post right? But honestly, my lack of complete updates makes me very irritating to myself. I apologize yet again. But this time I do come bearing gifts and a quick summary of my life thus far. As I type now I'm listening to Drake and the beautiful Jhené Aiko while packing for my performance back in the murdaland for my dance troupe and wrapping up studying for the terrible Geology.

However, in the past couple of weeks I've been dancing, I participated in a Shimmy Kontest held by our kappas, applying to jobs, hopping from metro to metro, getting myself into quite the predicaments, and generally enjoying myself as a whole and the people I choose to surround myself with.

The Roses of My Life





Hello Lovebugs,

 In other news, my career prospects have improved. I now intern at a global international education organization in D.C. My last internship dealt with aspects of education but not on such a huge global scale. It is really exciting to be part of an organization that advocated for lessening the gap between education inequalities. I feel as though, that is  a problem that I will be working with in the future. I am working through some brainstorming stages right now and decided how to combat such a problem on a local scale.

 My personal and social life has gotten "better." I am coming out of my academic shell, quite a bit and attending functions. I even went to the club for the first time! That was a thrilling experience. I love to get down on the dance floor. My love life is..... at a standstill more or less. I am not exactly looking - I mean my prospects are not all that tempting. But maybe just a holler or two! haha only half serious.

 Overall, I have been pretty well. I'm learning to lean more on God's understanding. I etched the verse, Philippians 4:13, "I do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I have this problem with taking the initiative and feeling as though, it is all my responsibility. But I am becoming to realize that this is not the case. And that is not only okay but completely necessary to lean on to Him..

A little update

Y'know what's difficult? Uploading pictures from my phone rather than my camera. I'm still taking outfit of the day photos but for some reason they never make it here. It's quite frustrating actually. It's become ridiculous how busy I am; the thing is it's not just busy socially and with school work, it's also busy mentally; therefore, updating doesn't become my number one concern. This is entirely unfair considering the fact that hundreds of people come here weekly only to find the same post first as last time... My deepest and sincerest of apologies. I've finished all of my midterms and completed my first performance as a member of the hip hop troupe. Things have been moderately hectic which explains why I am here updating at 5 AM, keep in mind I have a 12 PM class which means waking up at 10. ~siiiiggghh~ I will be back with clothes next time!

Clubbin' All Night


One word to describe Friday effectively would have to be ratchet. It was nice ratchet fun. As predicted, there was drama and stupidity beforehand but in the end I got to spend time with two girls that I've missed to pieces; that was all that mattered to me. We ended up getting greasy, sloppy food ~yum yum~ at Five Guys in D.C. then we embarked on the real adventure, Ibiza nightclub. Now, if anyone doesn't know, it's pretty ratchet, calling-all-black-people place, perfect for first-time clubbers like us because you can only go up from there. Luckily, there weren't any slothy guys, it was simply the process of entering and the false advertisements that was foul. However, It was so great to reunite with each other :). We needed the break of all these academics that have just been taking over our lives. It was fun to let loose, even if it was for a couple hours! All in all, It was a great time because of the people we were with, not because of the club itself haha. Definitely a great way to end Lola's birthday.

Legal


As it's well known, my 18th birthday was yesterday. I believe I explained this last year, but every year, quite consistently, my birthdays have been terrible. Things just never work out. Plans are always cancelled, attitudes are always caught, tears are always shed... it's always a mess. HOWEVER~ this year was something different. I think I just didn't let others determine how my birthday was going to turn out. It was finally about me and my happiness. This weekend should be a major TURN AHP and has multiple possibilities for disaster and drama but I don't even care because it's about me, as it should be.

It's been so busy as of late, with midterms, clubs, dance teams... ugh. Not to mention the bitter, depressing fact that my baby ~camera~ is no longer with me. Hopefully that is temporary. So please pardon my lack of updates.
