Night 1 of my 22nd birthday weekend. Since I’m officially becoming old (on Saturday), I have to start being cliché and refer to myself as 22 years young.

Thine body is ready.

My new baby! Gonna blog so hard from this bad boy.

Pros: Everything.

Cons: No more convenient ‘Reaction GIF’ folder. Tumblr Problems.

This was bound to happen.

Excuse the awkwardness of this photo, but it’s the best angle that shows off my haircut. 

But now that I have your attention, I’ve made a list of 2012 resolutions that I’d like to share. I’ve split them up into personal/professional categories because… I’m graduating college and I have to begin “real life.”

Personal

• Adventurous hair. I’ve had 2 specific haircuts my entire life and would like to try new things. My current haircut kind of inspired me to be more open-minded, so… yeah.

• Plan a vacation. My last real vacation was my senior year of high school where I went to Florida for a week. They taped our hotel doors at night to make sure we didn’t sneak out. No more of that. I’ve taken random mini-trips between then and now, but I want a real vacation where I have to stay in a hotel (OR RESORT??) in a different country.

• Find a charity. I want to volunteer more. I’ve helped out at soup kitchens and other church-affiliated functions, but it’s mostly been to fulfill a requirement or something. I can’t really donate because I’m le broke, but for now I just want to lend a hand to specific charities. I have a soft spot for animals, so it’ll probably be for a local NO KILL shelter.

Professional

• Stay updated with the world. It’s a rare-occurrence that I’ll willingly read a newspaper. Recently, I’ve been turning to the New York Times app I downloaded during times of critical boredom (like taking the train/bus to class) and have found it pretty rewarding. And since I’m really enjoying Public Relations/Advertising, I want to integrate a thorough reading of Adage to my daily life.

• Buy one of those big table calendars. My freshman/sophomore year of college, I was SO organized. Like disgustingly. I kind of miss having everything in perfect order, so I’m going to invest in one of those giant calendars where I can note everything in my life to prevent confusion. (Note: I will wait a week after the New Year to do this because I’m not a big fan of paying full price for things.)

• Find a real job. Seems fairly straight-forward. I’ve had my fair share of retail jobs that sucked and forced me to smile at people while they scream in my face. I want a secure, reliable, enjoyable 9-5 job. I’ll be a college graduate, so hopefully that pans out. I mean, I’d hire me…

/life update.

Can we all just take a moment to admire my new “like” button? 

Thanks, Joline!

How to properly write an essay.

So I got an iPhone 4S today.

You guys… this carrot. Do I eat it or what?

Today’s biggest accomplishment: Putting on pants.

Hope everyone had a fun New Year’s Eve!

My mom has a knack for picking the tackiest soap dispensers ever.

This makes me sad, but also comforts me.
