One tree wisdom

"You know I've got this theory, there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They're the ones you see with the CD insert out like 5 minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Um, then there’s the music people, like Brooke. Who could care less for the lyrics as long as its just got like a good beat and you could dance to it. I don’t know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I’m not, let me just say this. Sometimes things find you when you need them to find you, I believe that. And for me its usually song lyrics."


Amen sister- I have 2 tests, one HUGE interview, and lots of blogging to catch up on, but this makes me feel a little better that is an more dramatic, emotional person out there than me at this very moment who wrote this scene, in this tv show, made for me.

Swinging in the backyard, pull up in your fast car, whistling my name

I love this song. It is haunting, but the lyrics are so gorgeous and sweet. I may be a bias member of the big lip club (team Angie,) but Lana Del Rey is a breath of fresh air to my music collection.

Hometown Glory

Besides next week being homecoming and having to make up two tests New York after math has been so exciting! I went to a panel discussion of Women in Business  which were made up of primarily Hokie alumni. This article below is about a woman on the panel who has an AMAZING career and she announced she was getting back into the business world after a 4 year hiatus dedicated to her philanthropy which helps children with club feet. Less than a week has gone by and now she has been named the CEO of Victoria's Secret Direct. It is an incredible feeling to have met and mingled with her. Bridget Ryan-Berman is from my hometown and was such an inspiration to be around. I am feeling a lot of Hokie pride knowing one of my favorite brands is in her hands.

Here is the article from my local paper!

NYC

I have been extremely busy, stressed, and on the verge of a breakdown preparing for a trip to New York City advertising agencies with a group from my school. FINALLY, I get to share all of my hard work as an excuse for not blogging ;)

The offices were AMAZING, how inspiring would it be to see this everyday?

Rooftop view/ outdoor track... this makes me want to run outside (hell has officially froze over.)

Out on the town looking a little rough with my friend Josh

Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.

So, I was dying to get bangs. It became an obsession of mine last week. I pulled from a couple of sources of inspiration and overall I am very happy with the results. I feel like I have an actual style now and look a little bit more mature.

LOVE her... and recently her hair too.

Fellow blogger Keiko Lynn has amazing hair and hair tutorials.

This is one of my favorite bloggers of the rockstar diaries. She is so adorable... I can't quite pull off the straight front bang (yet.)

Bad case of the Mondays (Laundry Addition)

So, in a nutshell I have been studying for 2 tests all day that I have tomorrow.... but here is some comic relief that I am now able to laugh about when I took a break to do some laundry. Above is my desperate email to my mom. I'll let you know how it goes....
