Life is good. Sickness is not.

Dang, it's been almost an entire week since I last posted. Probably because nothing really has been happening. Except I got sick. Like, icky sick. Sadness.

Yes, I feel the weakness. It's so frustrating. I wasn't lying when I said I though sickness was weakness, and obviously I'm really weak right now. Icky sick. My friend calls me Sanjay because I sound like a man. I met a bunch of new people today at FoodFest and it sucked because I don't want anyone to think I actually sound like this. If anyone has medicine, hit me up like, now. And to put the cherry on the top of the cake, there's an orgo exam Monday and I don't actually know orgo. 

Speaking of FoodFest, it was awesome. Tons of international food and so many happy people on a bright sunny day on BC Plaza at Duke. 

Dang, I go here.

In other news, I tried Turkish delight for the first time today. It wasn't as good as The Chronicles of Narnia made it sound. Definitely not addictive. Very sweet. Good, for sure, but just a sweet treat.

Like, right now I should be studying. But instead I'm bumming around writing a blog post. I don't know where any of my friends are. Forever alone </3

In other other news, Taylor Swift's new album Red is coming out on Monday! Honestly, most of the songs that have been officially released suck. Very catchy, but lyrics are lacking and she's being very typical pop. The rest of the songs on the album were leaked though and are on youtube, and one in particular sounded like it was still her. 


"And I just want to tell you 
It takes everything in me not to call you 
And I wish I could run to you 
And I hope you know that 
Everytime I don’t, 
I almost do, I almost do

And I hope sometimes you wonder about me"

Taylor, why do you understand me so well? Lololol. But actually, I know the feeling, except our generation doesn't seem to call anymore; we text and IM and now that we're in college, talk in person! Unless we're really lazy. I'm not being emo, this actually sounds like the Taylor I know. Sure, it's probably a little whiny and extremely girly, but we all know that this is how every girl feels whether you deny it or not. She's a secret pleasure, don't even try to hide it. 

People are judging me right now, I just know it. Just know that nothing will be as big as You Belong With Me, ever.

You know why I started using concrete statements like "I never get sick" and "Nothing will ever be as big?" They make me sound more confident. These things usually aren't true. They just make me sound like I'm not indecisive and sway-able. Which... I might be. We'll see.

We'll see, we'll see.

Haven't redone my nails in a while so there are no photos of that. Woops, too busy. Which reminds me, I have to study. 

My throat hurts. Help.

I actually have nothing to say. Falling somewhat behind with classes. Having too much fun. Have to start picking classes for the spring on MONDAY. Need to be more active. Sickness. But some food for thought: 


Take 5 minutes out of your busy life to listen to this. It's not really a song; it's more prose/a speech. My friend introduced it to me in high school and it just came back to me now. Really pay attention, I guarantee it'll make you smile.

My First Party and More

Here's one of those posts that actually has to do with the original theme of my blog. Last night, I went to my very first college party! If you know me, you'll know that obviously I didn't drink at all and stayed completely sober. There's quite a lot that I have to say about this specific topic of drinking and partying so lemme get started at point A. The party was okay. Dancing with friends was fun, of course, but the party itself was just okay. This is the first time I've ever been to a party at all with drunk people. It was just really strange for me knowing that some of my friends and the people around me weren't completely, 100% themselves. Just the fact that they weren't perceiving reality in the way that I was made me feel... I can't think of the right word. But you know what I mean? One of the guys that I'm kind of, sort of friends with was pretty drunk and he asked me how I could be enjoying myself at the party while being sober. I couldn

Some words on team-based learning

Image
So, one of my classes last semester and three of my classes this semester decided to use, in some way, shape or form, a new-ish way of teaching known as team based learning. For anyone who doesn't know what that is yet, you pretty much get assigned or choose a team of people in your class and complete many activities as a team, including some quizzes and problems and what not. Every so often you have a quiz first that tests your own preparedness for the class and then take the same quiz again but now with your team or group. Then you do other stuff with your team and write up a contract on who does what and what rules you're going to abide by. This, friends, is why the only class I will thoroughly enjoy this semester is Chinese 102, because it is the only class in which none of this nonsense happens. Okay, I exaggerate, I don't actually think it's nonsense. Working in groups is actually a helpful tool in trying to solve problems and help each other to learn and tea

See You Again

Not even going to pretend like I too busy to write for four months; I really just started watching too much television... So welcome to summer y'all, hope it's going really well for you so far. I've honestly been putting off writing about graduation and things ending because I know I'm going to get nostalgic and cry if I think about it too much. I didn't really say a true goodbye to anyone because it doesn't feel like this is the last time we will see each other. This country is big, for sure, but we find ways to get around to see the people we care about. Plus, technology is so developed now that you can always feel connected to your friends in some way or another. When I graduated as a senior in high school, I cried whenever I heard "Friends Forever" by Vitamin C. The difference between then and now is that I really think I'll be staying connected with people in college, whereas most of my high school friends have lost touch. College is whe
