Would You Like a Medal or a Cookie?

Hipster #1, coming to a sudden realization: "Is everyone at this table applying for grad school?"

Unfortunately, over the course of the past 3 months, I have become a card-carrying member of this aforementioned club.

These past 3 months have felt like an eternity, but the upside to 'applying to grad school' is that most people seem to think that 'applying to grad school' is an appropriate, if not exceptional, use of my time.

I think that this is absolute crap. Sure, there are a few essays involved in the process, but essentially it is just writing your name repetitively on different sheets of paper. This being said, it gets people off of my back when it comes to the question of 'what are you going to do with the rest of your life?'

Regardless of how silly I think all this is, I couldn't help but getting a little amped-up over the entire process. So I compiled this list of things that make me smile:

dressing like a grandma (note my new 'leopard' jacket)


eggs (in all forms) and wine in cute red bottles


my cloud-like bed that I literally LIVE in
carmex, smart water and wonderfully trashy television


beautiful spring days that surely will be around the corner and soaking up the last bits of eclecticism before graduation
