Sunday Special + An amazing week ahead

So my best and worst suspicions are confirmed: law school is definitely an adventure. More on this later when I can be coherent about this, but I'm glad it's lazy Sunday after such an eventful week.

I have succumbed to the culture around here and got a bike to get to class! It has a cute basket for my heavy casebooks. And on the way, I saw these cool-looking domes. Davis hippies. (via Davis Wiki)

Adolescence + The real story

via Fancy

“Adolescence is best enjoyed without self-consciousness, but self-consciousness, unfortunately, is its leading symptom. Even when something important happens to you, even when your heart’s getting crushed or exalted, even when you’re absorbed in building the foundations of a personality, there comes these moments when you’re aware that what’s happening is not the real story. Unless you actually die, the real story is still ahead of you. This alone, this cruel mixture of consciousness and irrelevance, this built-in hollowness, is enough to account for how pissed off you are.”
― Jonathan Franzen, The Discomfort Zone  (via Slaughterhouse90210)

Why do we never seem to finish growing up? Even though my teen years are (unfortunately) long behind me, it sometimes feels like life has yet to start.

Blog + One month!

Oh blog, you and I have lasted one month together. How should I celebrate?

Here's to many many more months! ♥

Motivated + Lazy

Finally.

I'm starting a blog. I've wanted to for years, but didn't have the willpower, ideas, or even courage to begin. Because it honestly takes a certain amount of courage to share one's opinions, even on something as anonymous as the Internet. I've noticed that certain blogs, however, are anything, but anonymous. They are personal, beautiful, and part of a very creative community. And in my mind, the chance to join that community outweighs any potential negativity I'll encounter in the future.

At the moment, I'm also starting my applications for law school. Coincidence? Not really. This blog might be yet another way to procrastinate. In fact, I'm currently having a lot trouble with my personal statement. And since I've never been able to keep a journal or write my thoughts down without rolling my eyes, a meaningful essay about the entirety of my passion for life and law just might be the most difficult thing I've ever had to do.

I am choosing to believe I started this blog not to distract myself from more important tasks, but so I can learn to express my feelings on paper and accomplish something I've always wanted to do at the same time. Wish me luck and good luck to you!
