In the past month, I have learned that I should always have a Plan B. Not like the pill, no. Don't worry. I mean like Plan B-Backup Plans. Supposed to hang out with a guy? Have a backup plan. Supposed to go to your internship? Have a backup plan. Supposed to stay home and be productive? Have a backup plan. Okay so that last one was a stretch, but you know what I mean.

I've had a lot riding on my plate these past few weeks, but I have been given so many opportunities and experiences that I just need to remember to soak it all in. Instead of venting to my blog, I've had people to lean on, something that hasn't always been an option for me. Something that comes from finally being so comfortable with yourself, and your past, and everything about you, that you can find comfort in talking to your friends, family, and even guys about literally anything. It comes from knowing who you are, not exactly what you want to be, but what you want. What you want out of life, out of your experiences, out of every day.

This back up plan insures that not everything will be perfect. It's a reminder in the back of your mind, not to help you prepare for the worst, but to help deal with the situation when it doesn't go according to plan: basically the past two-ish weeks.

I took all these pictures during a "back up plan" which was a hike. Surprise surprise. This back up plan occurred a few weeks ago, but I haven't known what to blog with them until today. So here''s to Tuesdays, having a backup plan, and actually being comfortable with my life at this moment.

"But first, let me Instagram"

As you may or may not know, I am an Instagram addict. See post here. There, I said it. 

That is relevant to this post, I promise. This past weekend was my sorority's first ever Family Weekend. The goal of the weekend was to tour the city and adventure with your family, and post it to Facebook with certain hashtags. Person with the most amount of pictures with hashtags won. How many times can I say hashtags in this post. 

My parents came in Friday night, and we headed to Bambino's for an early dinner and then back to school for "Family Weekend Kickoff."

My mom was very excited about her Theta shirt, to say the least!

That night, Christine and Javi came over for movie night aka me yelling at "Blackfish," watching the first 15 minutes of Frozen and the singing parts of Pitch Perfect.
The next morning my parents and I met up with their friends at Nopa and YUM, but it's always delicious. We also had mimosas and french toast for appetizers. Why not.

The tourist stops began with Alamo Square.

From Alamo Square (Painted Ladies, Full House house) we went to Twin Peaks....

AND THEN THESE HOTTIES GOT OFF A TOUR BUS. My dad had to remind me to breathe. It was bad.

Caught taking a panorama. WHOOPS.

Close up of our shirts. Ooooh, aaaaah.

On to the next stop! We went to the mosaic stairs, and HI they are gorgeous. Random for the neighborhood, but so beautiful!

We also went to Lands End and a ton of places in Golden Gate Park and on Haight, but then got tired. Like REALLY tired. So we retreated to my apartment/the dorms for a 20 minute nap aka my parents took a nap in my bed and I drank coffee.
Then we went to dinner at Pier 39 and looked super duper cute, if I do say so myself.

After dinner, I was tired and wanted to go home, but my dad started getting competitive. We made some pitstops on the way home for pictures, and ended up at the Star Wars Museum in the presidio.

The next day was award day and I DIDN'T WIN. I KNOW I'M STILL UPSET ABOUT IT. So what do you do when you're upset? You go shopping.

Post shopping/Costco/Trader Joes, we headed to Sausalito and ate at.. wait for it, Salsalito. AH! How cute is that. We got tacos, surprise, surprise. And margaritas made out of wine! What?

And then the rain came, and my parents left. But all in all I had an incredible weekend!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

I love tags. I love them! I also love giveaways. And you know what? Since it's Friday, I'm giving you BOTH! You're welcome in advance *smirking emoji* I was going to do another update post, but I can't. I can't write about what's going on when I don't know what's going on or how I feel about it. And I'm an emotional person!! But over these past few days, so much has gone down that I just don't know how to feel. There's my family. My internship. My class. A boy. A friend. Just so much stuff that shouldn't happen within the span of 72 hours, that did.
So here are some questions that have nothing to do with everything that I am currently dealing with. Which is exactly what I need right now.

My questions:
01. Pens or pencils?
PENS 100%. I don't like pencils. They drive me crazy. They get on my hand. They run out of lead. The eraser marks get everywhere. It's awful.

02. What's the last dream you remember having?
I went out to dinner with my celebrity crush and he drove me home and then I fell while we were walking. This would probably happen in real life, mind you.

03. If you had a Patronus, what would it be?
I have no idea. So I took this quiz: http://www.quizrocket.com/patronus-test

My Patronus is a Rabbit

Your patronus takes the form of a Rabbit. A rabbit is known for being somewhat shy. Similarly, you tend to be quiet around others, especially new people. However, you are very bright and alert. You are good at reading people and know who to trust. You are also nurturing and kind. You may have trouble conjuring your patronus because your mind tends to race in the heat of a battle.

04. Are there any foods you hated as a kid that you like now?
Brussel Sprouts! They used to scare me.

05. What's your favorite part about where you live?
I live in two cities because I'm complicated. I love both LA and SF because they are citites. I love having my car in LA and that I can always have somewhere to go or do. I love SF because of the restaurants and city life. SF reminds me of a hybrid between LA and NY with a mix of "hipster" and I love it (no I am not hipster).

06. Do you have siblings? If so, are you the oldest, youngest, or middle?
Only child! Woot wooooot.


07. If you could have a talent that you don't currently possess, what would it be?
To either sing or dance. Or teleport. But let's be realistic. So probably to sing.

08. What's your favorite Disney princess movie?
UHM. CINDERELLA. DUH.


09. Do you prefer hot or iced tea?
Iced! If I want a hot drink I usually go for coffee.


10. What's your favorite thing about your blog?
The name! After going through 3 blog name changes, I am in love with the title of my blog, just because I feel like it really encompasses everything. 


11. What is your favorite form of social media?

1. Tweeter
2. Instagram
3. Tumblr
4. LinkedIn
5. Facebook

Just Let Me Rant.

Boys. I say they're dumb, but that isn't it. I just have found that they are the root of my problems for the past, ehh, month. Once you get over one, and move on to the next, the one before the one you just got over comes back. Does this make sense?

I call it "Guy's Radar." Why? Because no matter who he is to you, or was, guys always want to be the only guy in your life, even if you're not the only girl in their's. It's simple to them, just as they are complicated to us. It is so confusing. Back to the point: Guy's Radar, let's call this GR.

You like/talk to/hang out with/ whatever it is called these days with a guy. Maybe something happens, maybe it doesn't, but either way, nothing is "official." (Of course, it could have been official, but I am speaking from my own experience and I've never been "official" with a guy, hence non-official). Something happens, whether you go back to school and it is in a different city so the texts eventually stop (usually the case in my life), or they get back with their ex girlfriend (yep this happened too) or you just lose interest (oops), whatever there "was" stops. It doesn't just stop all of a sudden, it's a slow transition, but it stops. But it's fine because you saw it coming (or maybe you were completely blind sighted). Either way it happens, and you are left questioning "what if" until it happens all over again with someone else.

BUT THEN it begins. Once you think it is all over. It is just beginning. Now if you were to be "official" with this new guy, it would just be written off, because cheating is bad, and you should be happy and in a new relationship. But again, never gotten there because of this whole cycle of my life that has gone on since my sophomore year of high school. I am now a junior in college. I know. Welcome to my life. I know now what my friends mean when they say "I can't keep track of all the guys" because no, I am not a slut, but these guys just leave and then two years later come back, and I haven't forgotten them, but my friends have. Also I don't feel like giving them all fake names, so that is also a problem. Back to GR. So you start talking to this new guy, and everything is fine and dandy, and then it hits you. The Facebook notification, the Instagram like or follow, the favoriting of a tweet about the new guy or them, or worse: the snapchat.

This is GR. (said in the voice of the girl at the terminator when talking about SkyNet)

It is the guy telling you they are still there. It's like what poking used to be on Facebook. Do not even get me started on that. I could go on forever. Yes, my friends and I used to have poke wars in high school, but guys always said that if they poke you it means they want to sleep with you. So when you are a freshman in college and the guy you were basically in love with in high school pokes you, you freak out. But I digress.

Yes, GR has it's perks. Sometimes it is good to see that maybe time hasn't done them so well, or you know that the past 10 Instagrams show you at your best (but then again, why would you post a bad Insta). Either way, it can re assure you that the past is in the past.

Or you can be like me and have all these questions run through your head and question everything that has happened and is happening and then wonder what will happen next. Does this mean that the next time you see him everything will go back to the way it was? Will it be awkward? Is this a peace treaty?

I do not understand. If you do or would like more information/details, I would be happy to share them with you.

This Post Was SO Inevitable

"You're one of those acappella blog girls, and I'm one of those acappella guys blog girls, and we're going to have aca-children blog jokes. It's inevitable."

I went there. It's been waiting to happen. Today was just the day. It's Friday, so why not. Even though it is Friday and I am wearing gym clothes for my sorority's philanthropy, but it's fine. Don't put me down for cardio, I'll be over here horizontal running.

I decided I should probably do a life update post seeing as this weekend will most likely deliver 2 blog posts, maybe more, but I also haven't posted that much since spring break because, well, a ton of shit has been going on. To put it lightly."Bumper and Donald Kathryn gettin it. Mhmm. Gettin. It."
This post is going to be a lot for you if you've never seen Pitch Perfect because I can recite the whole movie if asked. So, keep that in mind.

I took Monday off of my internship because i didn't get in until like 11 o'clock Sunday night. "It's a funny story actually." I almost had a panic attack on the plane. Why? Because we didn't take off for 25 minutes because paper work hadn't been filed for take off. My first thought? That our plane was being hijacked. "Not a good enough use to use the word penetrate hijack." But it was. I am also pretty sure that the man sitting next to me was an airmarshall, so I guess that was calming? Either way, I already hate flying, so the pacing of the flight attendants did NOT help me.

I landed safely, and of course didn't sit next to any of the cute guys on my flight. I also had to watch the TV shows the showed because my phone was at 20% because I was Instagramming and what not at dinner with my parents before. I'm pretty sure I was the only one watching the shows but that's also beside the point.

Tuesday I had class. Wednesday I had my internship. Thursday I went to the marina GOT MY PHONE CAMERA FIXED ("Woah, bitch, no need to shout") because I know you were all so worried and had one class and then made posters for my sorority's event today. Which meant I was reunited with my littleeee which made me happy. Crushed it.

I also have a new internship but it isn't an internship, it's just another extracurricular. But I am bringing Her Campus to my chapter! So that is one of the reasons I haven't been posting that much. Well that, and I have been catching up on all my homework from break. OOPS. Sometimes I think I can do all of these things and then I think mhmm, better not.

Well, the ending is the best part. So there's my update.
