An Open Letter to Taylor Swift.

Dear Taylor,

TSwift. TSwizzle. Whatever.
We need to talk.
First of all, congrats on your new album, Red. I really do like it, I'm currently listening to "Come Back, Be Here," and it's great. One of my other favorites was "I Knew You Were Trouble," because I really identified with the concept of the song. SO I THOUGHT. But then I saw this.

 



 





I just....wow.What was that? When I pictured knowing someone was trouble, I was thinking more along the lines of the boy who tried to get with all of your friends at the same time and you knew about it but decided to ignore it and ended up with a mess on your hands your first semester of college, but you obviously pictured ACTUAL DANGER. Like really, I'm concerned. I heard on your E! True Hollywood Story that when you write songs you picture the music videos as well, so obviously we're drawing from real life experiences here. Are you on drugs? Did you really date someone who left you alone in a field? Is that why you date children now? Who are you? I mean, I understand that it's hard to find a man, but don't put yourself in a compromising situation (like a barfight or a sketch motel) just so you don't have to be alone. Also, you are a role model to small children, who do not need to think that this is okay. I know this is blunt, but really, if this is how you live your life, I'm worried and you need help. Oh, and speaking of blunt, the frizzy, multi-colored blunt bob you have going on? You look like an orphan, please stop. Other than that, best of luck in your latest relationship, hopefully you can get some great songs out of it.
Sincerely,
Kristen

#finals2012

Hey Cats!

So, it's finals week.

Gross.

Actually, I have a love-hate relationship with finals. Hate for the obvious reasons of "I've been in the library since dawn and I have NO RECALL OF THIS INFORMATION WHATSOEVER", and love because it means classes are almost over and I can go home and eat real food and blog and craft for days. And they mean I will soon find out my GPA for the semester, which makes me really excited. As long as it's good. Which brings me to my next point.

I have BIG NEWS EVERYONE. I think I have decided what I'm going to do with my life. Finally.

I have decided to go to law school! Well not like, now, obviously, since I'm only in my second year of college, but I have decided to head in that direction. I've been thinking about being a lawyer for a long time, but I finally decided to commit and make it my actual, concrete goal. AND I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. Last week I went to pre-professional advising and had a nice, encouraging chat with Karen. It was so great, she was such a gem. Hopefully this is actually what I want to do and I haven't just been watching Legally Blonde too much.

So there's that.

Also, I've been thinking about what I plan to do with my time over Christmas break. First, I will sleep. For as long as I want. And it will be blissful. You see, I somehow got 8 a.m. classes four days a week this semester, and I seem to have something to do early every Saturday, so I can't remember the last time I slept in. Next, I will frantically run around and buy everyone Christmas gifts. I have an idea of what I'm getting my Princess SisterCat, but I can't say because she will read this. I have NO IDEA what I'm getting my parents. Maybe I'll just limit my whiny phone calls to once a week, they will LOVE THAT. After I have all my shopping done, I will catch up with my high school friends. They're so great, and I love them. Most of us are scattered all over the place, so we only see each other during Thanksgiving/Christmas/Summer breaks. We're already planning a potluck dinner, since we're all so excited that we're basically gourmet chefs now that we don't live in the dorms.We'll also probably FREAK OUT about the fact that WILLIAM AND KATE ARE HAVING A BABY OMG. Out senior year was the Royal Wedding, and we stayed up all night and had a party and woke up at 4 to watch it live and wore dresses to school. So we'll obviously be having a baby shower for them.  Also, I'll be hanging out with my Princess SisterCat. We're besties, and we're going to have a great time being together for an entire month. Especially when we have our Christmas Eve sleepover! I can't wait. I'll also eat way too much, but luckily big bulky sweaters are in. Just kidding. Kind of. And then I'll do whatever I want, but that's not any different from any other day of my life.

As I mentioned earlier, it's finals week. So I leave you with this. I hope you can control yourselves better than this girl. (sometimes I feel like doing this to the annoying freshman couple that makes out on the couch in the libs, but I don't. Thank God.)

Until next time!
