This is a solid list of 10 — these numbers below are relevant even to those of us with day jobs:
1. Learn to cook
2. Don’t spend more than 30 percent of your income on rent.
4. Get regular exercise
5. Set up a savings account.
6. Sort out health insurance
7. Travel
9. Keep a regular schedule, and remember to relax.

who knew!?
grrr...
i know when i’m irrational
i can’t stop it
like a witness to crash
i can only watch
as the senseless acts occur
and i know that my reasoning is flawed
and driven by heart
not mind
but that doesn’t stop it
from making my eyes spring a leak
and it’s that little pinpoint of force
that cracks the dam
and sends the strength
of the whole reservoir
crashing...
My Stomach
clockworkrenegade:
it hates me. its killing me, i promise you that. dear god its like its trying to eat me whole. it doesnt even have teeth, its just slowly gumming me to death. its terrible
in the same position: just went apocalyptic grocery shopping: roof down for the dry thunder: and all i got was apple sauce, rice cakes and bananas… because right now that’s all i can eat :/

a week ago...
i was overflowing with happiness - i felt like i had everything figured out
and i would have killed to have kept that
but somehow it slipped through my fingers
and i was powerless to stop it
i don’t want to wake to dread the day
but it seems that’s where i’ve found myself
dear today,
i need you to turn around, and get your act together
because right now you really suck
much love,
rae
2 weeks later...
i’ve finally made a decent dent in the unorganized chaos that took over my room, eating away my floor until the only movement possible was within a foot of the door. now i can walk to the closet, around the bed, to the windows… progress is being made at last. now to keep myself going…
"Deep Rivers Run Quiet": iPad →
I am a technology enthusiast, and Apple is my brand of choice.
From the iPhone to the Macbook, Apple products consistently amaze me with innovation and style. However, when the iPad came out, I was unsure as to what I thought about it. Unlike most of my fellow early adopters, I wasn’t terribly…
this is the best case i’ve read for an ipad yet. having first been opposed to the idea,...
jephjacques: SO YOU WANT TO START A WEBCOMIC →
One of the most common questions I get is “Hey Jeph! I want to start a webcomic of my own, BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW!!! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!”
WELL HERE’S HOW.
STEP 1: COME UP WITH AN IDEA. This is a complex process and really worthy of its own entire article, so I’m not gonna touch on this here. But…
hmmm - summer project?

that it makes you want to cry
it’s strange because this happened twice this week, and i’ve never had it happen before.
monday i spent my day in boston, and was so blissfully happy among my friends that there was this moment where i actually had to admit out loud that i felt like crying i was so happy.
and today, in the car, following my mother to drop off the car for a tune up, i...

This too shall pass This too shall pass This too shall pass This too shall pass This too shall pass This too shall pass Why am I so hung up on this? There are things that are WAY more important to my life.
This too shall pass.
because it always seems to be the things we know are little are the ones we get hung up on - sorry to hear that all’s not well - i can only give you...
somehow...
it became 1am. i wasn’t ready for my day to be over. and in the same breath, i’m so ready for bed.
i hate going to bed when i know i didn’t accomplish what i needed to during the day.
tomorrow i will be doing some major laundry and box shifting after going out with memere. hopefully i’ll have time.
so here's the game plan - this week and onward
so here’s how i’m rolling this week
today: unpacking, washing, organizing, repacking, stowing away until june1st
wed: mum and i are bringing my meme to rhode island for mother’s day. we’re going to a huge arboretum - more on this later.

and i still have a mountain to wash. why so much? well I had the grand idea of washing every blanket or clothing item that i brought back from college. my allergies will thank me later, but right now it’s just a ton of work.
No regrets.

Just say no. No regrets.
the motto i live by: so far so good, because in hindsight, its always no regrets, you wouldn’t have the life you have now if you hadn’t lived the past that you did

i stumbled across this article by Chris Higgins on mental floss. It’s definitely an interesting read, and very touching. I find it mind-boggling that someone could remain that dedicated to a daily project for 18 years. this article also has links to the original website where each day is posted. check it out.

Here’s the thing about being 20 years old. It’s actually the universal age of passion. It’s the age at which nature and form come together and your individual passion achieves its final shape and expression. When, later in life, when you’re older, you feel furious, it’s the fury of a 20-year-old. When you fall in love, it’s the love of a 20-year-old. It’s...
tired for days

and now that i have time to sleep, all i feel is uncomfortably restless

i blame this room
today...
i woke up, packed up, moved out, got going, and now - now i’m sitting at my kitchen island typing. It’s been a long day, tiring and stressful, but the end goal has been reached. and as i sit here, typing, listening to my mother tell me about how she microwaved a bee earlier, i feel so much better than today is coming to an end and about finally being home. even though my brain and...
