6 weeks. 6 weeks left. It is unbelievable that most of our friends, including myself will be graduating in 6 short weeks. I could blog about all of the things I am going to miss, but I think these things are obvious, and that blog would be depressing. Instead, I am going to tell you some of the things I am looking forward to.

I do love the tree house and what it has to offer (maid service, bed making service once a week, convenience to class, and well...that's about it), but I am more than looking forward to my own apartment, my own space, and well a few other "luxuries"

1. My own parking space: I am going to enjoy the "luxury" of parking in a spot, in front of my home, running as many errands as I want, and then returning to that same parking spot, no matter what season or time of day.
2. A closet that can house my entire wardrobe
3. My own shower, free of others' filth and well...other feminine things.
4. My own kitchen, for cooking my own meals, and one that random people won't wander around in for hours, loitering in front of my cups.
5. speaking of loitering, there will be no loiterers or unwanted guests in my space.
6. my own television, on which I will watch a show anytime I like.
7. a washer and dryer that I will have access to 24/7 , and if I want to leave my clothes in the dryer for 10 extra minutes, that's okay.
8. silence. that is all.
9. a thermostat that actually works.
10. a sleeping environment that doesn't involve a giant whole in the wall that lets in bugs, wind, outside temperature, and "dirty air"
11. A QUEEN SIZE BED.
12. a cabinet full of cleaning supplies, which i will use to clean my own space, and I can also use these to maintain a level of cleanliness which I find appropriate.
13. finally, INTERNET THAT WORKS 365 DAYS A YEAR!

I'm sure there are many more "luxuries" that I have taken for granted through the years, but I will definitely appreciate them more now. I will miss the tree house; not for what it has to offer, but instead for the people who live in it. Love you ladies of the 2nd floor!

As seen on tv life

During a recent night on the town with Lolly conversation began to lag at one point in the night and I found my eyes wandering towards one of the TV's in the bar. Instead of selecting from the numerous sporting events offered I was drawn to the infomercials. These marathon-like advertisements can be found hawking things from wrap around HD glasses to a deli pro knife. I could write a whole blog devoted to the multiple hair products offered- bump its, EZ combs, total hair makeover kit, hairagami and the hair coloring brush. Thats just to work with the hair you have. There is a whole different world of hair removal products- smooth away, wizzit hair remover, nair, nads, hair removal foam, microtweezer, and the tweeze. If you bought all of these products I feel as though you would look something like this...

Hair products barely take a dip in the pool of as seen on tv products. As I find the need to avoid studying for italian, food science or the incredibly difficult swimming I may add to this study of useless, overpriced crap that every hoarder is dying to have.
