Music:Weekly Playlist

Music is very important in my life as I'm sure it is in other people's lives as well. It can change your mood instantly, brighten your day, inspire you. I recently got into Tame Impala and they have a really sick sound. Definitely check them out. I'm starting a weekly music playlist of stuff I'm listening to every week and that everyone should check. Who knows, maybe this will be inspiring.

Update on Life: SF Zoo and Chipotle Cultivate Festival

Hi again! Sorry for not posting in awhile. I'm kind of new to being committed to blogging all the time but I'm going to work on it. So last Wednesday, I went to the SF Zoo with Chris which was exciting for me considering I have no recollection of ever being there. I've worked at a zoo before and seeing some of the enclosures was kind of sad-lots of concrete or in the polar bears' case there was grass. Despite that, it was really fun walking around.

Also a few days later, we went to the Chipotle Cultivate Festival which showed chef demonstrations, guac mashups, artisan food, Big Gay Ice Cream (the line was ridiculous but the ice cream looked good), and lots of music. I didn't take a lot of pictures of the festival; I mainly went to see Walk the Moon, one of my favorite bands. Seriously, go see them live-they have SO much energy, charisma and they're just plain amazing.

First Post

2 things:
1st: some facts about me

1. I go to college in LA.
2. I am currently at home in the Bay Area
3. I've been in a good relationship for about a year and a half.

2nd: some very honest thoughts.

As a first post to a blog, it would seem weird to be very open when I'm first putting myself out there into the blogging world, but I think it's best to let my thoughts come out and hopefully someone may find this helpful. 

         From June 2012 to what will be June 2013, it has been 95% a really horrible year. A lot of drama, a lot of stress, and loads of setbacks. It mostly started around June of last year and it seemed to have gotten worse and worse as months went on. Pretty much now, I have been stressed about finding a job for the summer (hopefully other people understand my pain especially since I can only be here for 3 months) and nothing has been fruitful. I have been worrying about having no income for the next 3 months, no advancement in my life, and no direction. Yes, I may sound whiny and I'm just complaining about my life which I would say is true, but I am speaking on this to give some advice. It is that things happen for a reason and that despite the setbacks, you just have to keep going. There is no other way around it and the only direction is forward. I am trying to remember this every day and while it is extremely hard, all you can only do is keep persevering.
