So close but so...nope Just close!


With fewer than twenty pages to write and fewer than six days to go, I finally feel like I'm about to graduate. I'm having a hard time deciding whether I'm excited or terrified. Instead, I've decided to indulge myself with movies based on Jane Austin novels or parodies of said novels. I feel as if I'm learning more life lessons from my Austin based endeavors than from any of my text books. I've learned that secret engagements make everyone mad, men that are brunettes are always the best ones, and you should always marry the first man you fall in love with days after realizing you're in love with him. Also, there is nothing better than a double wedding or a horse drawn carriage. 

I have also found that a bag of Doritos is infinitely better than the gym. Men: start loving the flab, because I am packing it on. This brings me back to the Jane Austin parodies--if Bridget Jones has taught me anything, it's that I can eat Doritos and still get Colin Firth. 

Get excited! It's graduate time!

To My Good Friend 2am




Why is it that at about 3pm all I can think of is sleep, but come 2am all I can think about is why I hate Arlen Specter and how much I love burritos full of cilantro? Life is difficult.

Graduation is now 3 weeks away. I find myself still jobless and without a future. In true LG fashion, I have made a list of what to do instead of getting a real, grown-up job.

10. Spend my time making up fake posts for textsfromlastnight.com and fmylife.com
9. Do something Youtube worthy
8. Change my name to Caroline
7. Tell everyone I'm an artist
6. Live with my parents and take up something appropriate to being in my mid-20s and living at home (Dungeons and Dragons?)
5. Become a Democrat
4. Stalk Zac Efron
3. Go on Millionaire Matchmaker
2. Cry
1. Do as all middle-class white kids who can't find jobs do and go to grad school.

They are, quite obviously, listed from least to most appropriate. And, I mean, there is always the option of becoming a Fresno/Clovis soccer mom. Just kidding. This is a no mini-van zone.
