happy friday!

what do you have planned for this weekend?  i am heading up to massachusetts tomorrow for a boston college tailgate. go eagles!  here are a few links that sparked my fancy from around the internets:

seven sentences that sound crazy but are still grammatical

i'm really liking this ll bean rain jacket in black

lena dunham hilariously candidly interviews mindy kaling

to remember for my birthday next month

i bought a pair of nine west black over-the-knee boots.  i usually don't buy trendy pieces, but i'm kinda obsessed.  i especially love this olivia palermo look.

where will you be in 50 years?

i love graduation season; it is a time of reflection and hope. There is so much possibility ahead and the excitement is so thick, you could cut it with a knife.  it's been exactly one year since my college graduation, which is crazy to wrap my head around! i came across this 2012 mit graduation speech by sal kahn, and it really resonated with me.  it gives great advice and talks about regrets.  you can read the full transcript on the mit website or check it out on youtube.

happiness is a three-day weekend

cheers to white pants, standstill traffic, and overcrowded beaches! that's right, it's memorial day weekend aka the unofficial start of summer. per tradition, i'm scrambling to make plans while coming to terms with the fact that last year's summer clothes are two sizes too small. what are you up to this weekend?

10 german words with no english equivalent.  currently feeling: torschlusspanik.

this is why i love sophia vergara.

how i feel about cancelled plans.

lol... alec baldwin's preschool report card.

considered buying canned unicorn meat, but then i read the reviews and thought twice.

my early-life crisis

i feel like i am in a constant state "crisis." whether it's from reading nietzsche (existential crisis), watching the news (financial crisis), or questioning my life choices (quarter-life crisis), my mind can get a bit, um, imaginative.

when i saw the article titled my early-life crisis, I couldn't resist. i'm such a sucker for gen y, self-help articles.

however What i found was not a cliche guide to navigating your twenties.  what i found was so much better.  what i found was creative, witty and laugh-out-loud funny.

i've sent it to friends, co-workers, and family.  and now little blog, i'm sharing it with you.  if you haven't already, go read it. right this second. it will bring a smile to your face.
