Break free.

“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present." Looking For Alaska, John Green

Just Dance

If you feel like going on a mind trip, watch the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?: Down the Rabbit Hole." 2 1/2 hours of your life well spent. Check it out!

SNL has once again caught my attention. I'm gonna have to watch it regularly from now on. I'm glad they post skits on Hulu and YouTube!

I'm writing a paper for English 320 that compares the UH Manoa English Department to that of UVA Wise in Virginia and University of St. Andrews in Scotland. It will be an interesting one, and we'll see if I can keep it at 5 pages. There's so much information I see!

I'm flying home on Friday, and I can't wait :D

Feels like I'm goin insane, yeahh.

Classes have officially ended. The past few days have all gone right in the most stressful ways. That's a good thing, by the way, in a weird way. What, I thought sophomore year would let me go out quietly? Not a chance. The next week and a half is a nice sour brew of finals, papers, and doctor visits.

Today has been a fantastic day, world. Relatively productive and pretty happy. Let's keep it goin. My confidence today reminds me of a time when "The Middle" by Jimmy Eats World was my anthem.

Hey,
Don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out,
Or looked down on.
Just try your best,
Try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away.

It just takes some time,
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright. (alright)

Hey,
You know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, (on your own)
So don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (good enough)
For someone else.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out, (feel left out)
Or looked down on.
Just do your best, (just do your best)
Do everything you can. (do everything you can)
And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (bitter hearts)
Are gonna say.

This song will forever remind me to keep my chin up. It's all good. =]
