10 Songs Right Now

It's been too long since I've posted on here, but I've been busy this semester!

I am in the midst of studying for finals and just had a busy Thanksgiving Break. Now I'm just waiting for the 13th so that I can go back home and relax for Christmas!

I thought I'd just shout out a few of my favourite songs at the moment. Some are part of my all-time favourite list, but others are just some I'm into right now. I'm numbering them but they aren't in any particular order. Hope you find some new music to dig out of this list!

1) Flashed Junk Mind - Milky Chance
2) Jawbreaker - Chevelle
3) Dialysis - It's Alive
4) Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
5) R U Mine? - Arctic Monkeys
6) Minus the Machine - 10 Years
7) Creep - Radiohead
8) The Way You Make Me Feel - Michael Jackson
9) Dangerous - Big Data
10) Boneless - Steve Aoki

Ready, Break!

Here we go!

It has been forever since I last shared my thoughts so I thought I'd cover a few things:

I finished finals and final papers relatively unscathed. Boosted my GPA a bit and now I'm finishing up my transfer applications. If you recall, the world was supposed to end on 12/21/12. Well my world almost did. I got out of my final late, missed my ride (that was prepaid/nonrefundable), had to take a cab for an additional $80. Then when I'd finally sat down waiting to board my flight home, it got CANCELLED. Long story short, the next flight out was not for several days so me and 8 other St. Louis-ians rented a car and drove 16 hours overnight. I made home without being murdered! YAY! Then Christmas break began!!

I had several family Christmases and then had a New Year's extravaganza week with my sister and my brother-in-law. We themed NYE and dressed like we lived in the '30s and took paparazzi pictures. I love when the 3 of us get to spend time together. We also coloured my hair tips purple! LOVING IT

Random but: I forget to mention that over Thanksgiving break my sister and I went to see Hurt at the Outland Ballroom and I met one of my future boyfriends who played drums in one of the opening bands. That concert put us both back in the tour mindset so hopefully we can work something stellar out this summer!

Anyway back to the present: My fave bio teacher from high school is convinced I'm knowledgeable enough to teach his seniors about Human Evolution. So I'm making a presentation for that on Friday. Hopefully after this I'll never have to type "hominin" again.

I'm going back to New York on Sunday. Only 4 more months until I'm an official Chicago resident (fingers crossed)!

Lastly, 2 things I've realized about myself:

I'm a lister. (Ironic b/c that's my mom's maiden name), but I mean I love listing things. So look forward to a few of those in the near future.
I'm addicted to every show about the Kardashians.

F-F-Finals WEEK

HELLO EVERYBODY (I'm writing that in the tune to Retro, Dance, Freak by Gaga btw)

So I've got limited time here but let me break down my life lately:

I go home in 2 days for a month. Can't even talk about how excited I am!! However, this means it is finals week. While I was under stress as it was, one of my professors realized she had mis-communicated the date/time of our final and gave us less than 24 hours notice of its new time. I obviously had planned to study according to the old schedule while also writing papers that were due this week. I admit to my procrastination, but it was still a bit unfair. This curveball left me writing/finishing 3 papers in 3 days while also cramming for my sudden final. Long story short, I pulled an all-nighter to get shit done. Now I'm finishing my last paper that's due tomorrow at 11. Then I've only got one more final until I'M OFF TO MISSOURI!

I realize this is boring but damn...stressful time.

Side note: I'm listening to "Ca Plane Pour Moi." If you've ever seen the Mary-Kate & Ashley movie, Winning London, you'll recognize this song.

See ya on the flip side! (The Midwestern side)

Fiz what?

It's been awhile but....

I'm just gonna jump right in with a few random thoughts:

Every week, I watch Parenthood and seriously end up crying. Not always at sad things, but the show is just such an emotional roller coaster.

Also, Chevelle just released a new song called Fizgig. That sounds weird, but just look it up. I've listened to it on YouTube about 4 times and I love it. I'm not quite sure how to put it but everything about the song almost sounds wrong or off which is what makes it so interesting to listen to.

Speaking of new music, I may be crazy but I always love discovering something new and how it feels foreign. I'm always a little sad when I become desensitized to a song or an artist or whatever. Does anyone else ever think this?

By the way, 16 days until I go home for a month for Winter break! Between now and then I have several papers, finals, and readings that I have to get through.

Well, Until next time...
