kenyankai:

I’m starting to realize more and more just how much socioeconomic status matters in friendships.

In no way would I consider myself poor, but I’m not well-off either. Because I stand in this middle class position I’m able to see both sides of the spectrum. I know people whose parents will buy them…

This is so true and it makes me sad.

Note to self:

In the future, when I am designing my loft/home for my family, I will make sure to put together a communal office & study space. I find that too much of our time spent at home is us being locked away in our rooms and away from our family. Time that could be spent in the company of others. Recently, when I come home from work my dad is watching television in my parents’ room, my brother on his desk in his room, and I end up alone with the dogs in my room.

Segregated, alone, recluse.

Like in a sorority house or a café, I find solace and productivity when I’m around other people who are also working. I want a room in my house where all the printers, desktops, reference materials, and office supplies will be so that any member of the family could find a quiet place to work and study - hopefully in the company of each other.

There will be no televisions or desks in the bedrooms (it’s bad for Feng Shui anyways). Instead, there will be a communal television room where all the movies and game consoles will live. Everything else will go in the office room. In this office there will be tables, cabinets, and shelves lined along three walls with internal desk laps installed. There will also be a large, round wooden table in the middle and four or five comfy desk chairs..

Just a thought.

Finally finished editing all the graduation photos I took for my friends (sorry it took so long!)

These were some of my favorites..

It’s weird, I didn’t really take any graduation photos myself. I’m still surprised when people are in awe that I’m a college graduate - I almost forget how much work it took because college flew by so quickly. To be honest, although it probably was stressful at the time, I don’t feel like college was something to be considered difficult. It really was the best time of my life; it was so much fun and I learned a lot.

So I’m still not really sure what to say when people congratulate me on my graduation because while I suppose it is an accomplishment, to me it was more like one big, extended field trip.

From the famous words of Elle Woods:
“What, like it’s hard?”

Who are you, pretty lady?
