Mindy Kaling’s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me.
Once again, she is too awesome.
I think Mindy Kaling and I would be great friends because a lot of these things sound eerily familiar. In particular, 14, 20 and 23.
I’ve had the biggest girl crush on Mindy Kaling since forever. I love her.
Hey kiddos. So I know everyone steals their music these days and CDs are like, so five minutes ago, but here’s the thing. I’m moving to New York in a month. My parents are selling the house I grew up in in three. I’ve been told to get rid of everything that’s not essential to me. I’ll be living in a shoebox in New York and really don’t need crap lying around.
Hence, free stuff to give away! Hurrah!
I’ll be making a list of books and DVDs later, but for now, here’s a list of CDs I could do without, cases included (these aren’t burned, I actually bought them back in the day). If you want any and I see you on a regular basis so I can give them to you (can’t really afford postage, sorry) let me know.

I HATE when companies say in their job postings, “please be witty/different/cute in your cover letter. Don’t send us cookie-cutter inquiries.” I understand the cookie-cutter thing. You don’t want to fall asleep reading about someone’s qualifications. But telling someone to be witty is like telling a dancer, “dance!” or someone who speaks Spanish, “say something in Spanish!” In order for our talents to shine, it must flow naturally. You can’t force wit! Plus it’s so risky to throw humor out to companies you know nothing about — what if they don’t think you’re cute? All of your work experiences go right out the window. I HATE IT.
To the girl in the Special K commercials who pretends to be satisfied after a half-cup of “chocolatey” cereal instead of the Ben & Jerry’s, you will lead a very unfulfilled life

You know when you’re reading fashion blogs and you get all depressed because you’ll never own those YSL pumps or Chanel jacket. We get it. We shop at Target and H&M and Forever 21 and thrift stores and Charlotte Russe. We’re five lovely UGA j-school grads and we’re poor(ish) and cheap and still manage to look good. Read about our thrifty adventures.
Bright Eyes | Lover I don’t have to love
God I used to BLAST this shiz back in my emo days.
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she’s always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she’ll never believe you
And she’ll take what you give her, as long as it’s free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she’s always a woman to me
Oh — she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh — and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she’ll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she’ll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you’re bleedin’
But she’ll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she’s always a woman to me
She is frequently kind
And she’s suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She’s nobody’s fool
And she can’t be convicted
She’s earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she’s always a woman to me

“ Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them’s making a poop, the other one’s carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge. ”

I think of this quote every single time I walk Chance.
“ Better to fail spectacularly than do something mediocre. ”

It’s a sign of part-time employment when you don’t realize it’s super cold outside by actually going outside, but by checking various social media sites in bed and hearing about it from your friends. Should probably get dressed.
