What I've Been Up To, Part I

I always have the best intentions.

I'm going to keep an insightful blog, update it daily with pretty pictures of the glamorous, adventurous life I live. Problem #1: Classes, midterms, friends, and a date with my Chinese soap operas prevent me from updating daily. Problem #2: My life is just not very glamorous or adventurous.

Nevertheless, I am going to try and be more consistent with my posts because oh, the surprise-- I actually really love blogging!

My month-long absence was prompted by a series of events hitting me one after another. My birthday, panic attacks prompted by housing decisions and everybody's busy schedules, news of my grandfather in critical condition and then flying out to China the next day, spending a week in China with my family, hearing of his passing, flying out to NYC for the weekend for my sister's graduation/Mother's Day, and then midterms. Needless to say, the past month has been quite taxing emotionally and physically, but I am ready to make the most of the month left in my freshman year!

My life in the past month according to iPhone pics (where would I be without Diptic/CrossProcess/Instagram?):

{ survived this month thanks to multiple emergency froyo runs - the lychee and peach flavors at Pinkberry are awesome! }

{ Coupa smoothies, too, have kept me sane. Perfect for a rainy day! }

{ Ike's Place is by far the greatest food place on campus. Best sandwiches ever. }

{ I love my roommate so insanely much and cherish our roommate dates so much - this one to CoHo for a grilled cheese + tomato soup + iced chai was perfect }

{ a Fab Five outing to CoHo for chai and salmon filet, just because Lauren and I can't not have the same thing when we eat together. And a comfort trip to Cold Stone was just what I needed, but I would still give anything to have Marble Slab! }

{ one night, Carl, Ryan, and Alex somehow convinced Cassandra and I to go to In-N-Out at midnight where we told growing up/hometown stories and noshed on cheeseburgers and shakes }

{ my weekends are spent watching a game or two of my [Pac-12 Player of the Week] roommate's softball games; late-night rendezvouses with my crazy dormmates; lovely trip to the mall with Kylie and a beautiful day; and the paranoia Assassins forced upon all of us }

{ nighttime walks with friends. my walks with Paige have been an endless source of comfort and insight - she is an insanely radiant, amazing, wonderful person }

What does it even say about me that 98.23408% pictures are of food? I'm sorry I'm such a hungry person all the time!
