(If only I could have put the American flag emoji as my title, but I think it works for now)

Now that I’m working full-time, I find that as much as I hate being at work all of the time, I would prefer to work than be sitting around doing nothing. So when we had the day off on Friday, I rather wished that I was collecting those hours, but it did allow me some time to go do things without the Saturday rush that I’ve had to become accustomed to. It was pretty shocking considering that it was a holiday weekend that places were not as crowded as I’d expected them to be, but I also wasn’t complaining. Continue reading “Fireworks_Drake.mp3”

A Return To Love

A Return To Love

It’s been one of those off weeks where nothing seems to make sense, but I’m happy to know I have some good times and great friends to fall back on. So here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to these past few weekends:

Father’s Day

Father’s Day

Not that we normally do anything particularly special, but it’s weird to think we won’t be spending Father’s Day together. I felt it especially necessary to make this post because it’s the last Father’s Day where I’m still in college. As I approach my final semester at USC, I’d like to take this time to thank you. Thank you for reminding me that even if something may be a burden, especially a financial one, life is always about experience. Thank you for always finding a way for me to broaden my horizons. Thank you for always supporting my decisions even when they don’t make sense to you. I know I’m always indecisive about what I want to do in the future, and I know you don’t mean to be on my back about that, but just know that you have nothing to worry about (even though you’re constantly worrying, haha). I hope that you never feel you haven’t done everything you can for me because you’ve surpassed yourself time and time again. I hope that you know-and I think you do-that you’ve raised someone you can be proud of and I will continue to make you (and Mommy) proud. Although I’m living my own life now, know that I will always have you in my head and my heart. I can say that I’m indebted to you for so many things, but I know your goal has just been to provide for your family in the best way you know how. You’ve done an amazing, amazing job and there aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am to call you my dad every day.
I love you ❤

It Doesn’t Rain in Southern California

It Doesn’t Rain in Southern California

Ever since I got back to L.A., the weather has been so weird. It’s hard to believe that in the last two weeks, hot days have been a rarity like today. Believe it or not, it actually rained this week! It was brief and more sprinkling than raining, but water was actually falling from the sky, y’all. I have to say that though I’ve been looking forward to wearing summer clothes in the famous L.A. heat, I’ve appreciated the cooler weather that’s come with all of the overcast. (Mind you, cooler weather means the 70’s) Not to mention, the overcast of course makes me think of London. Speaking of London, another thing I can’t believe is that this past Wednesday, it marked a full month since we left. A huge reminder of that is the fact that my spending habits have hardly changed since I’ve been back *nervous laughter*, but it’s all been in efforts toward exploring L.A. I feel that if I can’t be where I truly want to be right now, the least I can do is make the most of where I am.
