This Season’s Top Trends:
1. Caramel apple ciders. Daily, if possible. Every other day if not.
2. My beach-wavy hair. Too bad it takes about thirty minutes to really nail the “effortless, rolled-out-of-bed-after-great-summer-sex” look. Damn you, San Francisco humidity!
3. Reading. Reading a lot.
4. Resisting the urge to drop a class which will inevitably lead to increased alcohol consumption and potentially a major switch by the end of the semester. Academic integrity: hip, hip, horray!
5. Getting a guilty sense of pleasure from everyone else’s dramatic relationship problems. Now that I’m smoothly sailing down the sea of solitude (with the occasional “Miss ya!” international text, that is), I have a hard time mustering up any sort of empathy for the petty love quarrels of others. Freedom!
6. Walking to school rather than taking the shuttle. Hello, toned calf muscles!
7. You’ve Got [G]Mail!
8. Beer rather than cocktails. Ever since I actually learned how to make an Adios, my time spent on the ground and/or waking up in strange locations has decreased by a factor of ten.
9. Guy friends/gay friends. I seem to have a magnetic field that draws them both in. I’m lucky to have such a great ring of close girlfriends, because fun, intelligent gal pals are nearly impossible to find.
10. Behaving; 5 weeks and counting!
