End to neglect, post grad ponderings
Ive been neglecting my blog as of late but really I’ve been feeling particularly uninspired. At least in the sense that I haven’t had anything I feel warrants a blog post.
So here are a bunch of pretty related thoughts that warrant a post.
Feels pretty good to be a college grad but it really hasn’t hit me yet. Sorta feels like I’m in free fall. Been doing things for med school apps and still looking for a job. Really not on my feet yet but whatever I’ve adhered to a life plan put in front of me and a part of me is really enjoying the uncertainty. It’s been school school school for the vast majority of my life, pretty much without a choice so it feels pretty good to take the road less traveled (kinda in the pre-med sense but plenty of people take a year off)
I hear back from a job I interviewed with last week and I hope I get if. Seems like a job if really enjoy. Also locking down that post grad job will take a shit ton of stress off my back but if not back to the drawing board/ application grind/ waiting to hear back from employers.
In other news starting a new book: The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. Hope it’s good. Also realizing I need to get some more hobbies because I’ve been watching way too much tv. I’m gonna try and get more into/ back into drawing and painting seeing as I won’t have to draw in note margins for the foreseeable future.
Moving back home is gonna kind of blow. I get to save a bunch of money and be financially responsible and shut but damn if their aren’t some drawbacks. There’s a little cut back on freedom considering I don’t have a car and am not too close to the metro. Home feels like a cage some days but I figure if I make my room comfy/ organized in Baller fashion that should help. Also going to be going to cp a lot/ have friends save me from boredom atleast until I start working a free time is hard to come by. On second thought it shouldn’t be too bad, hoping I don’t get cabin fever from fam driving me crazy…we’ll see.
Super excited for Bonnaroo next week. Super super super excited!! Get to see some great artists and celebrate finishing college. Mad people are going to the beach and having crazy adventures stateside and abroad. This will be mine!!
I haven’t been tumblring
I’ve been really busy lately and I find that I’m dumping little snippets of my thoughts on facebook and twitter. I’m going to take atleast a bit of time to be a little more introspective.
Random thoughts on love and relationships. I think that you just have to keep putting yourself out there. Strike up a conversation with someone and even if you’re really introverted try to talk to the people you are building relationships with.
I think the more you put yourself out there, the more you can fine tune what you’re looking for. I think its also important to keep in mind never to have a really specific person in mind because when it comes to finding someone you have to be ready to make some concessions. In Theraflu Kanye asked if he could get a bad bitch without no flaws, the answer is no, and honestly some flaws can be cute as shit.
Stay thirsty my friends and when heartbreak comes around fuck that shit! because its on to the next one. I’m pretty cliche in this post…but personally I think cliches become cliches for a reason: they true as fuck
Fuck
The 2012 Colour Run is currently touring through 20 U.S. cities. The only requirement is wearing a white shirt. Throughout the run, participants are doused in bright pigments (cornstarch that is 100% natural and safe). Each kilometer is focused on a specific color – 1k is yellow, 2k is blue, 3k is green, 4k is pink, and the 5k finish is a “Colour Extravaganza” where a rainbow of hues are thrown.
File under: reasons I love living in a big city. TOTALLY DOING THIS.
I’d do this.
This encompasses two of my favorite things: running and body paint (or y’know cornstarch). I must do this.
Man…not coming to Boston…
EJ, there is a pretty clear solution to that.
Steph and Crystal! We’re all doing this, September 22nd in D.C GAME ON!
To all my running enthusiasts out there this sounds awesome and its apparently coming to DC in september!

Seasonal Excitement
I always feel like I’m a bit seasonally depressed in the winter with the lack of sun and cold but the recent string of absolutely amazing weather (especially today’s) has me feeling f*cking great. It also doesn’t hurt that I’ve had a ridiculously fun (and drama filled…) weekend. Guess you just have to take the good with the bad.
Can’t wait until its like this all the time!! And I’m going to Bonnaroo!!!!!!!!! can’t get over that!!
check em’ out. My friend Spencer showed me this song, which got me to listen to more. Their album Phonyland is free online, just google it!
Social Networking and Valentines Day. Not what you think
This post is about the two topics up top separately. To start off I recently started using twitter. I actually made it a few months back but didn’t use it. I honestly think that I’m using it for the novelty of it. I check my phone when I’m bored so now I feel really stretched out. I’m on facebook, tumblr, and now twitter and its funny how much time it takes up. On second thought, it really doesn’t take that long to check any of these at all. If you care to follow, you can find me at https://twitter.com/#!/sbchill46
On to Valentines day, I don’t believe in it. Its honestly a capitalist holiday where they just make bank. When people use the phrase “buy into” something they literally mean put money into it, and EVERYONE in a relationship or some kind of stable arrangement (if you get what I mean). Its just a stupid reason to spend a lot of money, and this is not a gender equal holiday either. Men have to spend a lot of money. I think if you care about someone show it everyday and have special days on your own initiative.
Lasstly, Been listening to Phony Ppl. They are so amazing. prepare to listen to my audio post coming up right aftetr (before if you’re reading it on tumblr dashboard).
Oh please don’t you rock my boat (don’t rock my boat) , cuz I don’t want my boat to be rocking.
