Words to Live By
2006-12-15 02:15:04
Words to Live ByNot much to say today...I've been shopping online more frequently recently, and I came across some really cute sunglasses. However, I've given up hope that sunglasses will ever look good on me, it seems that my nose bridge is lopsided or something, causing sunglasses to look a little funny. I'm half asian, half caucasian, and I got the Asian nose. So, it's flat.Anyway, earlier in fall quarter we had to pick a girl who inspired us within my sorority to be one of our sisters. We have three sisters who are really close to us, one being the Big Sis, but I don't want to write the other titles of the sis's, it would probably give away what sorority I'm in. Anyway, so I picked my Inspirational Sis because she embodies everything I want to be, but I'm not. She's very outgoing, charismatic, involved, enthusiastic, crazy-but in the best way possible! Now, I'm not shy, (I used to be though), but I'm definitely not one of those girls who are LOUD and can get the atten...

Getting Restless
2006-12-13 08:12:03
Restlessness...Okay, so it's only been 4 days since I've been back home but it feels like 4 weeks. I swear, living at home again with my parents never fails to make me feel like a 10 year old once again. I haven't seen any of my friends from here yet, most of them are either finishing up finals or are still out of town, causing me to spend most of my break at home considering that I don't have a car, and won't be getting one until next year. Not to mention that my parents are already driving me crazy.Well, I actually could go to a Christmas party tonight. Two of my close friends/ex co-workers invited me, but I declined, considering it is the Christmas party of my old job, and it might be a little awkward for the following reasons:1) I quit because I disliked the owner so much. She treated almost all of her employees like shit, using the intimidation factor to get her power. However, she picked favorites, and her favorites were usually the attractive looking MALE servers that sh...

Job Search
2006-12-12 14:11:04
Getting Out of Debt...Okay, so it's clear that I desperately need a job. Between sorority payments, credit card bills, and regular expenses, I can't make it with the money my parents give me. And I don't like the idea of just taking their money anyways.So, since I can ONLY get a job on campus (otherwise my paid-for-tuition will be revoked by my parents), I've been searching the damn UCSD online job postings for quite some time now. I'm trying to find jobs that fit into my schedule, pay a decent amount, and don't require too much of an effort. (I'm not lazy, I'm definitely a good employee, but my schedule for next quarter is already jampacked as is. In addition to being on the cabinet of my sorority, taking a full course load, and being involved in two other clubs on campus, I am also going to be on the Public Relations/Recruitment committee for my sorority, and I'm involved with Public Relations for this charity event we are executing), it's safe to say it'll be hectic.An...

Bike Boy
2006-12-12 02:10:05
Bike BoyWell, I'm finally home. I was for the most part welcomed with open arms by my parentals, but there's a little situation I will get into another day.Anyways, while I was waiting to get picked up, one of my guy friends (I met him during my first year of college, he used to live on the floor under me), decided to stop by. We'll call him Bike Boy and lord knows why I'm using a nickname because if he were to stumble upon this he would immediately know it was him and who I am.Anyways. He biked over to my place after he finished his last final. Recently, Bike Boy has been stopping by to have conversations since he just broke up with his girlfriend. I lent an ear, and ever since he randomly stops by.Bike Boy is a good friend. When I had my excruciatingly painful neck injury occur last Friday, he drove my apartmentmates immediately to the pharmacy and asked what they could buy to help ease my pain, and stopped by to get my favorite fast food (Taco Bell), in order to alieviate the...

Debt
2006-12-12 02:10:05
Debt!Okay, so let me just first say that I'm obsessed with all the blogs I come across, and read almost all of them daily! I never knew there was so much interesting bloggers out there.Anyway, one of the reasons it's not good to be home is the fact that my VISA bill keeps getting sent home (even though i keep signing up for PAPERLESS statements), and my mom being the nosy one that she is, always has to open it. She gets mad at me for spending so much money, and takes drastic measures. She's already taken all the money out of my savings account except for $300 because I guess there is a fee if you have less than $300 in our savings account at Washington Mutual. Then, she said I couldn't get a job off campus because I don't currently have a car (because I totalled my brand new car senior year of high school on my 18th birthday), and said that if I did, she would stop paying my tuition.So, she doesn't know I have to pay for my sorority. It's $300 a quarter, but the first quarter...

Going Back Home ...Alright, so it's 2pm and I'm basically sitting here waiting to get picked up to go home. Today was the last day of finals, so campus is starting to empty out.I'm alone in the apartment. I live with 3 other girls, but my roommate Karebear, never sleeps in our room because she always sleeps at her boyfriend's place. So, my best friend X generally sleeps over every night and we always have fun. We're both an only child, so I would have to say our bond is sisterly. Anyways, X comes from the same city as me, we knew each other in high school before we came to college together. Let me just add that we only live approximately 30 mins away from college WITHOUT traffic, but traffic in socal is horrendous. Anyways, we didn't say any goodbyes because it's a guarantee we'll see each other over break.We already said our goodbyes to Karebear & boyfriend, even though I'm hoping to see them one last time before we leave. It's not really a sad thing, but saying goodbye to...

Felicity
2006-12-12 02:10:05
The Felicity Type of GirlBoo, my university's internet has been lame these past couple of days. We have our own wireless set up in our apartment (which is on campus), and it hasn't been working at ALL. It doesn't work when I use my cable either, so basically I'm left with using the university's actual wireless internet connection, which keeps losing connection every five minutes because for some odd reason, my room is the only place on campus that doesn't want to connect to it. I'm so ready to go home today for winter break.Anyway, let me just profess my love for netflix. I love that I can catch up on tv shows that I'm behind on, or finish tv series's that I never got to finish. As an employed college student, it does sort of help create an even larger debt for me, but I just find it so convenient, especially when I'm on break. Right now I'm bringing myself back to the Felicity series, and as a second year in college, it makes me laugh to see how they portray college stud...

The Ex-Crush
2006-12-12 02:10:05
The Ex-Crush FactorIt seems that everytime I get over a guy, a few months later he suddenly becomes one of my best friends, and I don't remember why I was so infatuated with him in the first place.Take B for example. I met him last year at a televised dating show for my college, (yes it was at lame as it sounds, I'm quite embarrased). Anyway, as soon as I met him I immediately became infatuated. If I would run into him on campus my heart would start to race and my stomach would flutter ever so lightly. My best friend, we'll call her X, joined in on this infatuation with B after she met him at one of our on campus dining halls. He has the ability to make anyone smile, and is quite possibly the most charismatic person I've ever encountered. Anywho, we didn't really talk to him much, we'd semi stalk on facebook (way better than myspace btw), and then after a couple months of obsessing, he got a girlfriend. Of course X and I were jealous, but what could we do, we barely knew the g...

The Basics
2006-12-12 02:10:05
After spending exhaustingly long hours glued to my books in preparation for finals, I am finally free from this hell I like to call Fall Quarter 06. To celebrate my newfound freedom, I decided to create a blog that will chronicle my obstacles in life, venturing into topics such as dating, relationships, friendship, sorority life, school, family, fashion, and my future career. I hope to learn from my life experiences, and use this as a venue to release thoughts that randomly take over my mind.So here's the basics.I'm younger than most bloggers. I'm only 19, but I like to think I have an old soul. I also have a strong conviction that ALL women are fabulous and beautiful in their own way, leading me to name my blog "Young & Fabulous". I was tempted to put "single" into the title, but what happens if I just so happen to meet Mr. Right during my blogging journey...I wouldn't want to change the name. So I'll just leave it as "Young & Fabulous".I'm a college student at a well res...

Holidays
2006-12-12 02:10:05
Christmas SpiritOkay, so I'm obsessed with the holidays, and Christmas Spirit.My family, however, is not.So, it's really hard for me to get into the holiday spirit when I have two parents who could hardly care less. My dad just kind of sits there and watches tv every minute that he's not at work, and my mom is better, but still not the Christmas enthusiast.I forced my dad to pull down our fake Christmas tree and holiday stuff today. Last year I had to put up the tree by myself, and I just don't think I can muster up that enthusiasm I had last year. I don't want to put up the tree by myself, that's not what it's about.It's about the process of putting up the tree and decorating it. It's about spending time with family and friends as you go through the tedious process of making sure the tree looks just right.It's times like these that I hate being an only child, and having almost no family around me whatsoever. The only family I have besides my parents is my 2nd cousin and h...

The Crush
2006-12-12 02:10:05
The Crush FactorOkay, let's start out real. Every single girl has some sort of crush or attachment to at least one male, even if she claims not to. It's completely normal. Even if this male is some unattainable guy such as an authority figure, a celebrity, or a guy who only gets pleasure from the same sex, every girl has a guy she admires. I have a ton of crushes, many of which are men I will never meet, or men who are happily married. However, it is not always common that a girl has a real bonafide crush. The kind of crush that constantly keeps your mind occupied with visions of you and him in romantic situations. The kind of crush that sends shivers down your spine and creates butterflies in your stomach, (cliche I know, but it's a special kind of crush). The kind of crush where there is actually potential for you and him to start dating, or maybe one day even venture into a relationship. I have one of these crushes.Let's call him G-unit. No, he is not a wannabe thug whatsoeve...
