Exit 2010. Enter 2011.
This post will go up at 11pm tonight. I will be at CityWalk, celebrating the new year. I hope that you are having the most amazing end to 2010 and beginning to 2011, wherever you are.
I can’t even express how much I’ve changed from this time last year. Without knowing it at the time, I had a much more difficult freshman year than I realized. There was something missing in my life. At...

Damn,
I really need to start defriending people on facebook. I prefer not knowing about them and their lives as well as vice versa. Would that be rude?

Sometimes, I feel like packing up a few essentials, drawing out all my money (which, granted, is not that much), and leaving. Maybe move to another country where no one knows me. There’s this movie I love called Chocolat. It revolves around this mother and daughter who move towns, countries, homes whenever the wind blows and tells them to. That sounds enticing.
There are a handful of people...

눈치없이 눈물이 나 다 잊은 줄 알았는데 햇볕이 드는 정거장에 서서 잠시 또 널 생각해 집에가는 버스에 올라 지나가는 추억들을 볼 때 마다 비워진 옆자리가 슬퍼 바쁜 생활은 순간일 뿐 나의 하루의 끝엔 니가 너의 기억이 날 찾아와 또 가슴을 아프게 해 사랑한다 크게 소리쳐 불러봐도 너의 대답은 돌아오지 않고 텅 빈 공간 메아리만 가득해 스쳐간다 우리 사랑했었던 거리도 처음 입맞춤 했던 그 골목도 니 미소도 너는 모두 다 잊었나 라디오에서 흘러나온 노래가 또 나를 울게해 웃고있어도 눈물이 나 그 노랫말이 비참하다 사랑한다 크게 소리쳐 불러봐도 너의 대답은 돌아오지 않고 텅 빈 공간 메아리만 가득해 스쳐간다 우리 사랑했었던 거리도 처음 입맞춤 했던 그 골목도 니 미소도 너는 모두 다 잊었나 잊기위해 산 나 웃는...

Facebook is unhealthy, in general. But I’m feeling it is much more so these days because I realize how far I’ve grown apart from people at home. Facebook is littered with all the interactions between people I wish I didn’t know about. And they’ve taken it even further. Now, you can preview the comments someone left on another person’s wall in their recent...

When I download from 4shared, usually it’s a 20-second wait for the download link. But sometimes, it goes up to 200 seconds. Sometimes, 80 seconds to wait. And those extended waiting times are too long! I forget that I have to download the file and then go off to do something else. When I come back, I have to restart the entire process. I’ll try really hard to wait 80 seconds so I can...

If I leave my room, I’ll really really really regret it. I’m gripping my knees so that I can control them from passing that door. Maybe this is why I feel so average lately; I have no self-control.
Today was, I think, a discouraging day for a lot of people I knew. Grades came out and I admit, I wish I did better, too. But it’s only one small part of our lives and the important...

In high school, my parents were really busy with work. My sister was in college. So from 6am till around midnight, I was home alone. At night, I turned on all the lights and the TV so that it wouldn’t be so quiet in the house. Eventually, I got my license and a car (oh, my faithful Bambi. I didn’t name her by the way) to take me places. It got me into internships and jobs outside the...

Lauren: Did you party last night? How's the apt?
Me: I didn't come back to the apartment last night. I was tired at the party. I just took a couple shots and slept with someone.
Lauren: ...You wanna repeat that?
Me: OMG! No, I slept with a girl!
Lauren: ...You wanna repeat that?
Me: I meant I fell asleep on someone else's bed with a friend who is a girl. What a fail.
Lauren: LOL I assumed so. I was like "IF THIS ISN'T JUICY GOSSIP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS"

114 minutes and 3 seconds later
I just got off the phone from a really contemplative talk. You know the kind, the one that doesn’t really go anywhere but you needed to say things, have it put out in the universe. And I have come to several conclusions.
First, right now, losing something seems like it will be the worst thing in the world because that something is such a big part of your life. If it were gone, then your...

I can never finish a journal. I either end up ripping the pages out from previous entires or throw it away. Usually because I like the person I am today more than I do the person I was yesterday.
I really love economics. I wish I was better at it but I think it really just puts a lot of human behavior into numbers and I believe numbers make sense in every language.

A time you thought about ending your own life.
No wonder Jess calls me dark and gloomy! If you’ve ever watched Stranger than Fiction, there is a scene where an author is trying to come up with a way to kill her character (in her story!) and her assistant walks in.
Author: What do you think about leaping off a building?
Assistant: I don’t think about leaping off a building.
Author: Yes, you do. Everyone thinks about leaping off...

I have always wanted to befriend strangers I meet on a train or a bus or the street somewhere in another part of the world, and spend a wonderful summer adventuring with them. Then we would promise each other we would keep in contact and be the best of friends forever, but it would never be the same, because it would never be that summer or that place anymore. But I would always have...
