Oh Heyyy

Guess I've been busy? August was an incredibly insane month. Although it's difficult to say goodbye to friends, family and home, sometimes a move is much needed. My last few weeks at home were a little hectic: packing, goodbyes, parties, brunches, bbq's, and one last Giants game...

And so I embarked on a new chapter of my life...

Now, I'm living in LA and loving my life more than ever. Just the change I needed...

However, six classes, one lab, being in a sorority and having a good social life is not an easy schedule to balance... Whateverrrr, it's totally worth it!

The Hills

Anyone watch the season finale of The Hills? I used to love this show when it first aired and now I believe it is safe to say that this guilty pleasure has officially gone down hill. No, off a cliff. Lauren Conrad (whom I love, love, love) is wise in choosing to leave the show. Now, The Hills started going downhill seasons ago, so why have I still been so attached? The majority of the show is a total joke, but the general vibe it gives off is absolutely addicting. The clothes. The clubs. The music. The gorgeous people. The glamor of an envious Hollywood lifestyle. I mean, I know that's my dream. 

As previously stated, I love Lauren Conrad. I understand it is unfair to judge someone by how they are portrayed on a staged reality show, but I feel like she is a classy, stylish and motivated young woman that most girls can look up to and admire. Is that strange? I also have this weird love for Stephanie Pratt. I don't particularly love her personality or her general character, I guess it's her hair color with her skin tone and how she does her make-up? It's fascinating. Audrina seems like a super cool chick and she's obviously smokin', but I need her eyebrows to be thicker! I think she's grown them out since the first season, thank god. I miss Whitney. I never watched The City. Didn't appeal to me. People tell me I look like Whitney... something to ponder. Then there is Heidi Montag. Don't even get me started on her and Spencer Pratt. Blaahh. Ohhh yeah, and now Kristin Cavallari is joining the cast? Can't we see new people?

& it is official, I will be attending Loyola Marymount University in the fall for Theatre Arts. Super stoked! 

Nobody Fucks With a Lion

My grades in high school were less than spectacular. I slacked off. I had just about every psychological disorder imaginable. I partied. That got me into Cal State Northridge. CSUN was sort of chill. I made some cool friends and joined the most amazing sorority ever. Unfortunately, the university itself was just BS. It was way too big. I couldn't get the classes I needed, nor did anyone care if I got my classes or even passed them. It wasn't what I was used to coming from a small private school. 

It was then that I made one of the best choices for myself in the history of my life - I moved home. I transferred to Foothill, a fantastic community college 30 minutes south of my house where I knew I was certain to get into a good 4-year. After CSUN, I knew I wanted a private school, no states or UC's, which made my application process much easier. I immediately had two schools in mind - USC and LMU. For those of you who live under a rock, USC is the University of Southern California and LMU is Loyola Marymount University. Both schools are amazing and in Los Angeles. :-)

Well, I've done my best to keep up my grades after having a dismal academic semester at Northridge. Currently, my cumulative is at a 3.5. During Winter Quarter I applied for transfer to both USC and LMU. May 28, 2009 coincidentally happened to be the date in which both schools determined my academic fate. USC, in all of its competitive glory, was unfortunately not able to offer me admission. Bummer. But whatever. However, I called the LMU admissions office on Friday & was pleasantly informed of my acceptance! Fabulous news! It looks as though I will be an LMU Lion come Fall 2009... just waiting on the official packet! :-)

I love my life.
