when college is over, i can say i lived it up :D

oh shit son, June is almost here!

Well, the title of this post is pretty self-explanatory lol. in two weeks, i'm officially graduating from college! It's so cliche, but so true: my, how time flies. this is my attempt to recap the past four years:

- I rushed for a cultural sorority and didn't get the bid. I rushed and pledged for a business fraternity and realized it wasn't for me. That's okay! Letters would be cool, but I'm pretty sure Na Keiki 'O Hawai'i is my ohana <3 (don't worry you TXCers, you come second lol)

- what won't kill you, makes you stronger, and it's certain obstacles that have definitely been the catalyst to better things in my life. EFF YOU CA&ES DEAN FOR PHASING OUT TXC, but I love how all of us got so close in attempting to fight for something we believe in <3 my TXC girls are the best!

- so i did really, really shitty in this one class. and i shouldn't have passed. and I prolly should've been placed on something other than "good academic standing" lol but thank you to Professor Monticha Sompolvorachai (dude, you CAN NOT forget a name like that lol) who gave me a second chance and let me study for my whole spring break and let me re-take the final so I could pass. I am FOREVER grateful.

- or there was this one time i stayed up and did a paper and only got two hours of sleep, and i was sooo proud of myself for not only turning in the paper but making it to both of my classes! but i fell asleep in the 2nd one and my teacher called me out in front of the entire class... BEEZY. yeah, i showed her by answering all of her freakin questions cuz the whole class is too freakin lazy to answer! that's what you get for picking out the girl who fell asleep!

- i think it was freshmen year that I did my best, academically. then it was just downhill from there lol but! there were moments during my junior and senior year that i tried really hard; there's no sweeter feeling than setting the curve :D

- sometimes i was hardcore and studied for days straight, and other times i was a slacker. like the one time, i went out to some dance party at the bars the night before a midterm or the day before a paper was due HAHA! or there was that one time when there was a hawaii club social, got home around 12:30am, got ready for another party and DJed for it and got home around 4 or so haha

- i may drink on a tuesday night, but i enjoy staying in on friday and saturday to study!

- and then there were a few radical yet classy, moments ::ahem:: save txc!

- ding dong ditch, drunk dialing, beer pong, frat row, frat parties...

- there's a first for everything! first concert ever (AFI at freeborn!), got my permit here, learned how to drive, got my license here, etc...

- eggs :D

- its all about balance :D


my only regret is not learning and absorbing enough.

this is such a random post, and it is by no means indicative of my WHOLE experience. just a few rando ones i wanted to shout out :D dont worry, there will be more! okay, must sleep now.

i got some new hurr.

i am not just being vain about my new 'do. lol there is much significance behind it!

first of all, i colored my hair like 2+ yrs ago, and i cut it uber short, so i finally finally finally grew it out! so its my natural color, naturally wavy, and very soft and fluffy.
&&& i thought twas AMAZING. lol i am very, very stubborn and do not like to let go. but in summation:


Me: I totes wasn't gonna get highlights,
but the hairstylist talked me into it lol
Change & letting go is good, right? I think?
Jas: Absolutely! I think its a great way to kinda
help let other crap go & start from a clean slate :)

im scared of this book.

and of what's about to come.

in one week, i will be performing in my last luau ever. and then i can breathe and have a life again and remember that SHIT, im graduating from college in three weeks! ahaha oh dear. and then i remember im not just graduating college, but it's something much more than that. im ending one phase of my life, and truly starting to enter: my twenties.

i had all these ideas about post-college life, but now im a little scared to read this book that my sister highly suggested i read and have all my bubbles popped ::sigh:: it shall happen one day. i mean, ill read the book one day. not the bubbles being popped part haha

stay tuned!

sac vs. la

it's a weird comparison, i know haha.

ive been thinking a lot about life after college [again]. kinda makes sense, cuz you know, i have only four weeks of my undergrad left haha.

im currently interning at this nonprofit in sac as an admin, and it's uberly connected to a lot of affluent people and companies in the area. as im starting to get to know these people, ive actually started to see myself working for them, or even staying in the area. and of course, there's surprisingly a lot of companies in this area (roseville, sacramento, etc) with job opportunities i'm interested in. to sum it up: i've been thinking a lot lately about what it would be like if i moved to sacramento. hmm, it'd be interesting to start my next phase of life right there. it'd be... different. i and kinda see myself there

but! then i kinda just wanna start all over again-ish and maybe definitely try to get into the apparel industry? um do you like my uncertainty there? "maybe definitely" and so the ideal place to go would be LA. and good thing my sister lives there...

hmm. the choices, the choices. oh well, i need to sit back and just think about it. still got school, hawaii club/luau, and txc isht going on. hmm.
