Lights Out, Words Gone

It's been WAY too long. I know, I suck. But listen: if you knew what my week has been like, you'd understand. This week has been fifty shades of cray. Between Big/Little week and midterms and papers and Polka Party and a cappella stuff and psych research and Polka Party and DM planning (and wait, did I mention Polka Party?) this week has been cuh-ray-zee. So, I guess I'll break my week down: Buzzfeed-style. I mean, let's be honest: if you're reading this at like 2am, you want a numbered list. That's why Buzzfeed is so popular--there are no words! Only gifs and funny quips (yay to the deterioration of literacy!). Okay, here we go:

1) Big/Little Week!
Yeah, so a lot of sorority girls say they have the best Little ever, but we all know they're lying because MY Little Denise is by far the best. I can't even begin to describe how excited I was when I found out I got her as my Little. She's the sweetest and the coolest and I'm so happy to welcome her to the fambam.! Yeah, I'm a stereotype, I realize this. But seriously, she's so cool and I'm so happy.


Reveal!
fambam.

2) I started an a cappella group with some of my best friends.
So, it actually happened. An idea that was implanted inside of my head and the head of my friend Thomas finally grew into a real thing. And here's the best part: auditions were really successful! We had over 20 people come to audition, and more are auditioning tomorrow night. As cheesy as this will inevitably sound, never think you're incapable of starting something huge. I'm not gonna lie: the idea of this a cappella group terrifies me because it's a lot of work. All the work is worth it, though, because I'll be singing with my best friends and super talented people. Not Our Forte: let's do this.


Ladies and gentlemen: Shelbie. Aka the most beautiful singer ever.

And also the most adorable.

"Let's all stare off into space and look cool."
I seriously love these folks so much. And Laura, if you're reading this, we will get more selfies with you in them so we are complete, I promise. <3

3) Polka Party happened.
Oh, Willard Polka Party. What a wonderful/crazy/slightly terrifying/unreal experience. If I could describe the night in two words I would say: Polka Party. There is no other way to describe it. I love my dorm and the crazy people in it so, so much.

wat.

All aboard!

4) I submitted my application to Northwestern to study abroad in London fall quarter.
London, I'm looking at you! I really hope I get in. I'm just so excited to explore a new country, see concerts in London (Royal Albert Hall, anyone?), study Psychology and Art History, and just absorb everything. It's going to be amazing (if I get in, that is...).

I'll just be listening to The Clash and Jake Bugg on repeat, okay?
5) Which record should I buy to console myself on the crippling holiday that is Valentine's Day?
Yeah, I realize this isn't a life update, but it's on my mind right now. I just remembered I have an Amazon gift card that is just enough to buy one record. So, folks! Of the following list I have compiled, which record should I buy? These are all some of my very favorites and they'll sound even better on record! Comment here or on Facebook with your top two:

-You Forgot It In People by Broken Social Scene

-In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel

-Modern Vampires of the City by Vampire Weekend

-Tourist History by Two Door Cinema Club

-Kid A by Radiohead

-When The Night by St. Lucia

-Comedown Machine by The Strokes

-The North by Stars


So, that has been my past week. So much more has happened, but I'm currently exhausted and I'm sure none of it is really that important any way. I promise I'll write more, I really do promise. It'll probably be heavily sarcastic, though, so I'm warning all readers in advance. Thanks for checking in on my life.

"So think carefully, because times change. Every moment of life, we lose someone that we know. Time does not wait for anyone, and because there is change in every moment, frivolousness harms only ourselves. But if, in our short lives as human beings, we are able to be of some benefit to someone else, then that is the activity of an enlightened being."
