Vaya A Saber Uno / What do I know

Thoughts from another cold cup of coffee

Vaya A Saber Uno / What do I know

Mirá tu, que la dicha de esta vida esta en lo poco, no en lo mucho.
En esas cosas pocas, por las cuales se da mucho.

I confess being too eager to find what I want,

Too eager to look with patient eyes, how is it that all things around me, come to be.

I wanted it to mean something,

For my time in here to not go to waste,

In a fashion of crazy sense,

I fought for my right to possess that, which I now realize, cannot be attained.

How mistaken can I be?

To take a full lap and be right again?

Like that one 3 am night, that I spend walking among thoughts,

Or that 4 am morning I ran away from tears and falseness.

Bring me back that childish face,

Cause it's the only one that knows how to be honest on every smile.

Piling up accomplishments as if they were rocks, digging our feet in the mud and feeling the crumbles of sand in between our toes, our eyes and minds get captivated by a butterfly. Looking for those four leave clovers, racing the sun as the clouds disperse, standing still to feel the wind blowing, letting the rain hit our faces. Never growing up to get bored of living, to get tired of seeing, to get used to being.

The little child that once walked on our shoes and wore our smiles, the simplicity of the little things that used to make us laugh, the amazements for a new lesson just learned. The simple things that used to make us want to be here and now. Living for the moment as it passed between our fingers, revolving on all the options we had to make that day the best one yet.

How is it that, the essence of childhood, the games and moments we once swore to never stop enjoying, slowly turned into mirrors that showed us how immature we apparently were. Convincing us of growing up and comparing each other, convincing us that competing with each other, putting labels on everything and assigning names left and right, was the way to go.

"Que se acerquen los niños, los amantes del ritmo. Que se queden sentados los intelectuales... Debo partirme en dos"

But what do I know about life,

Like everyone fighting for what they want,

I aspire to love and be loved back,

As everyone, I'm willing to die for what I want,

And I say that without a trace of knowledge for what's a must.

Foolish thoughts of the kid that I refuse to let die,

And tired thoughts of the grown up I force to stand,

For the many dreams of the one I'll always defend.

For what is left,

I know that being the way I am until the end,

is all I have to save.

And to be right,

Is not really worth the fight.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
