Alexis Bledel,
please, please, PLEASE stop taking shitty parts in shitty movies. Gawd, we all believed in you post-Gilmore Girls. I thought Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants was just a phase - a logical safety zone after playing Rory Gilmore. BUT COME ON.
I know you wore pointy shoes in Post Grad, and maybe that was you trying to push it a little, BUT PLEASE.
Stop playing the same coming-of-age,...
A Bad Decision In The Making
I’m debating spending all the money in my bank account right now on books. My theory is, if I have no money, something will just happen, and I’ll get some. But I’ll only get it because I have none.
Like maybe my BAMF prof will pay me for doing a presentation for him over the break.
GOD DAMMIT. I’m checking out my “shopping cart”.
I can’t think of a theme for my next...
Homes have a certain type of gravity
Moving day is officially next Saturday. I also feel like I’m lying when I tell people that my family is moving to Cambridge. Because we aren’t. Home is still Brampton, and in 6 years, home for my mother will once again be Toronto. Cambridge is just a pause.

Reminders to self
Stop being a dinkis.
Occasionally lower your expectations.
Be happy if professors follow through, but don’t get hung up on it if they don’t.
Make decisions at night, but don’t act until morning.
Leave more left-behind-mixes.
Shave your legs.
Extend your social network beyond your mom and characters from Weeds.
I’m drinking beer I opened last night. It’s warm, stale and tastes just as awful as I thought it would. But it goes down while listening to Lucinda Williams.
I really fucking hate Lucinda Williams’ song “Are You Alright?”
When you flip someone over, push them into a parallel universe you don’t want to be apart of, you just can’t ask those questions...

I want to take away all the music I shared with you. It wasn’t the right thing to do.
