I have, apparently, never gotten over 2004. Maybe it’s because that was a responsibility-free year, or maybe it’s because the music scene in my hometown was particularly active that year; for whatever bullshit reason, if I write a date without thinking I almost always write 2004. This becomes most prevalent during year changes where I revert … Continue reading

Move that tassel from the right to the left, because I am a college graduate.
Anyone want to guess what I did this weekend? After ten semesters of college I have finally earned myself a Bachelor in Arts in Communication with a journalism focus and a certificate in creative and professional writing. Take that, college! When I finished my last exam on Thursday afternoon I sat outside of the building– … Continue reading
Too cool for school: Announcing graduation through nontraditional cards
As you can probably guess from my lack of posting, things have been… intense. I wrote for, edited, designed and completed my last fashion section for The University News (sob). I’ve been applying for jobs. I bought a graduation dress. I went out for my last college weekend and finally visited the near-campus bars and … Continue reading
Where is the coffee and why can’t I find socks?
If I remember correctly, I woke up today yelling at Lance and crying about something. Whoops. Mornings aren’t my best or worst times… They’re just there– existent, semi-painful, fresh and inspiring, awful and exhausting. I normally pick up quick, though, once I’m finally out of bed. But not today. No, no, today was the last … Continue reading
The College Girl’s Guide to Hosting Thanksgiving
Isn’t this the greatest time of year? Halloween just passed and it’s time for Thanksgiving. With December holidays around the corner and the weather getting crisper, there are so many things to enjoy. One of my favorite parts of the season? The oh-so-perfect Thanksgiving supper. It is my favorite meal of the year. Last weekend … Continue reading
Continuing my crazed graduation dress search
I spent six or so hours looking at job listings last night. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not whining about that– I assume it will take hours upon days upon weeks to find a job, and sending in all those cover letters and resumes will take time. What I wasn’t prepared for was that I … Continue reading
Shameless self-promotion… All the cool kids are doing it.
I finally feel like I can catch my breath. The newspaper was successfully published, our Thanksgiving party was a hit and I am momentarily caught up on my homework. The photos– which, like any other journalism-junkie would relate to and understand, we almost didn’t have– printed clearly. The turkey did not dry out and the … Continue reading
Distracting myself with virtual shopping, a.k.a the hunt for a graduation dress
As I said in an earlier post, I’m a little frazzled this week. With the fashion section in print, my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow and graduation a mere five weeks away (sob) I’m a bit off my game. At this point, I am personally amazed I made it to work at 9 a.m. today in a … Continue reading
“I’m not bad…” – Halloween on Delmar
Sometimes I should listen to Lance. Sometimes. He can be right every once in a while. I might be wrong occasionally. He may or may not know what’s best with certain things. Sigh. As much as I didn’t want to go out on Halloween (a common desire of a post-work Julia), Lance reminded me that … Continue reading
Shameless self-promotion.
The section is in print next week. And I’m having a dinner party next week. And the apartment needs to be clean before next week. And I have to give an oral report next week. And I’m at work and need to do inventory right now. Can you sense my panic? Thankfully, these upcoming events … Continue reading
