On date tonight
So I’m a little apprehensive about my date tonight with lawyer dude. He called me yesterday to see if I wanted to go to the movies the night before our planned date. I thanked him for the invite but explained I had plans. Clearly that meant nothing to him because he kept insisting and insisting. Finally I had to say “Stop insisting. You need to respect the fact that I have...

Excerpt From My Personal Statement for Grad School
…
At the age of eight, I lost my mother to breast cancer. My mother was a fierce woman with an undying spirit. Though she was given a year to live, she fought through five more years despite the doctor’s prognosis. I witnessed her go through every conceivable treatment available at the time. During those five years, my mother did everything she could to best prepare my father and me for the...

Today was my 3 month review at the suicide hotline I volunteer at. I can’t believe it’s already been 3 whole months. This experience has totally changed my life. For the better.

Traffic School With A Sense of Humor.
Online-Traffic-School…
So I finished up a lesson and it told me…
You have passed Lesson One Part 4. Going this fast is what got you into this course in the first place, no?

I like myself & What?
It seems like liking yourself is a revolutionary act now-a-days. Liking how you look, liking who you are is apparently not the norm. Saying “I love myself” is seen as bazard. Some might even call it conceited.
How ludicrous is it that we applaud those who dislike themselves and condemn those that actually like themselves?
But I have to protest.
We have all been given a body, a...

Going Out ALONE For The First Time
I was on my way to the salsa club last night when I had a mini-panic attack.
I called my best friend and told her
OMG. I don’t know if I can do this. I’m in Pasadena and I’m going salsa dancing ALONE.
She told me
That is so “Sex & The City” of you. You love dancing so you should do this, for you. You can do this.
I thanked her for her support. I took a...

I'm extremely sore today...
I don’t know if it’s from last night’s workout or the deep tissue massage I got yesterday?
I hope it’s the first. ;D

Students Loan Rate Doubling Unlikely →
bschwartz:
It’s time to sing in the streets! According to the Washington Post (my new neighborhood newspaper), Congress actually managed to do something constructive for ten minutes. Encouraged by both presidential candidates (does Mitt Romney really count?) the perilously slow men and women of Capitol Hill managed to negotiate a bipartisan deal to ensure that student loan rates in the U.S. will...

Facing One of My Fears
All right. I have a fear of going places alone. Okay, certain places.
It’s not like I have social phobia. I don’t mind going to the mall alone. Or to a food joint, doctors appointments… all of that… I actually prefer to go alone to some of those places sometimes.
But I have never been to a social setting by myself. I’ve never been to a club or a bar alone.
I get...

How Old is Too Old?
On my way to get my massage this evening, I got a call from the lawyer dude I met on a night out in LA last week. I gave him my number, but I quickly decided that I didn't want to hang out with this guy since he was ...quite a bit older than I...But now I'm reconsidering because he's been proving himself. I like his style. Respectful, consistent, and considerate...
Lawyer Dude: Hey, I was wondering...I know it's last minute..but a friend of mine gave me tickets to movie premiere for a client he represents. I was wondering if you wanted to come, but I totally get if you can't. I know it's really last minute.
Me: Oh, that's really sweet of you but I actually have a massage that I've really been looking forward to .
Lawyer Dude: No worries. I would not want to miss that either.
Me: But thanks anyways.
Lawyer Dude: Well, I also wanted to ask if perhaps this Saturday you were free.
Me: Ah, I have no plans as of now.
Lawyer: Well, do you enjoy food, drinks, Jazz and BMW's?
Me: Ha,Ha...Sure I eat and drink. Jazz is cool and well, BMW's are nice. Ha.
Lawyer Dude: There is a Jazz Festival on the roof of the BMW building in Beverley Hills I was interested in going to if your interested in going with me.
Me: That sounds really fun. I'll definitely let you know by tonight or tomorrow.
Okay, so here's the question for you all: How old is too old? I'm 22. He's 33.

Alma, I love ya but...
I like how my Alma Mater continuously emails me about donating money to my school.
I graduated a year ago and quite honestly, they should be donating money to me as I pay off debt and try to get myself established. Not to mention that I’m starting graduate school in two months!!
Don’t get me wrong. I am a big fan of my Alma Mater. But it’s just unrealistic that most graduates...

I Envy Runners
I happen to live on the top of hill in a suburban neighborhood. This particular part of town is semi-secluded and has lots of little hills that are perfect for those that enjoy running.
Every morning and every evening and actually at any point in the day, runners can be seeing getting their jog on. I envy them so much.
They look like they are in that zone where they are so absorbed in...

Sunday Plans
Lay in my bed all day, recovering from yesterday’s outing.
Watch Ugly Betty episodes until I gain enough strength to go the gym tonight.
Sounds like a plan.

#Evil Step-Mother Problems
Most of the time I feel as if I have to be the bigger person in the relationship between my step mother and I. I feel as if she has it out for me.
I think I’m a great step-daughter and yet she finds the most petty, ridiculously unimportant things to complain about.
I guess I’m just ranting because I’m so frustrated with her.
This has been an ongoing issue since I could even...

hixitsxty asked: goabroad com/volunteer-abroad shows a lot of different organizations to volunteer through. since you will be going overseas, you will need to pay for certain housing/transportation/food costs. i went through this site to find a volunteer opportunity in japan and it was actually a whole lot of fun. i hope you find what you're looking for.

I've been doing some serious thinking
I am determined to do some sort of volunteer abroad program next year. Ideally, it would be in Peru. I could do some philanthropy as well as see Machu Pichu which has been on the TOP of my “Places To Go” for a long time. And I’m at the point where going alone is not an issue. I’m actually craving to do this alone.
The issue is that when you google organizations to do this...

The Kind of Person I Want To Be With
I think everyone has that list of characteristics that they’d like in partner: smart, attractive, funny, tall, successful, …etc. But I think we all acknowledge that there is so much more to it than that.
For a long time I thought that I knew what I wanted in partner. But it hasn’t been up until recently that I think I’ve actually identified some of what truely matters to...

'Pro-Whatever is Best for Each&Every Woman'
I know abortion is a really touchy subject. I get it. It’s controversial and it’s a topic many people just don’t agree on. And that’s why I am going to try my best to be PC and as respectful as possible while writing this.
I think we can all agree, whether ‘Pro-Choice’ or ‘Pro-Life’, that making a decision about abortion is not a situation that...

Executive decision
Tonight I do NOTHING.
No gym.
No reading.
No cleaning.
No phone.
No Tumblr, gasp.
I’m just going to enjoy doing nothing for an evening.

Kind of Nights I Live For
I had. SO. MUCH. FUN. last night.
That’s an understatement, actually.
I had so much fun that I wish I could replay last night in a montage type of slide show while playing “We are young” in the background.
It was that kind of fun.
I met the most fun and friendly group of people ever.
The evening started off with an elaborate meal served by equally delicious waiters who were...
