Party at the Met

It's so easy to get caught up in all the raging frat parties, football games, and dancing on top of tables at NYU.

Oh wait.

I think I meant to say, it's so easy to get caught up in all the gallery openings, private parties, and dancing in the lobby of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I guess that's sort of like a school dance?

 Another little amateur video I made.
An Oasis at the Met celebrated the opening of the Arts of Arab Lands collection. Despite the fact I have already visited the gallery (twice) for class, the girls and I decided to put on our fanciest semi-formal attire and splurged for a cab to 5th and 82nd. Stay classy. (Free) Events at such prestigious institutes are just one of the many perks of going to school on the island of Manhattan. 
Plus, the DJs were pretty cute.

A Single Girls Valentine's Day

So you wake up with a Smile, feeling like Miss Independent. You are a strong Independent Woman. You aren't like all those other Stupid Girls, so silly and lovestruck. They are Wannabes.

You and all the other Single Ladies in your life know that With A Little Help From My Friends, today is going to be about the power of singledom. You don't want No Scrubs anyway. 

Plus, even if you went on a First Date today, you'd have to tell him "My Humps are mine, I ain't no Hollaback Girl".  No, it's not because you Kissed A Girl, it's just a matter of class. Lets not get desperate here...

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, but by the late afternoon its hard to find fun all by yourself while nursing a venti black coffee in Starbuck's cutsie Valentine's Day themed cups. Your Facebook newsfeed is overflowing with red and pink and roses and hearts. 

You start to think back to your past flames thinking, "I Want You even though you hit it and quit it," or you begin imagining elaborate romantic declarations of devotion from the man you spent all your Summer Nights with. You see him running towards you in slow motion in the pouring rain and hear him shout "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend!"

But "Snap back to reality". You may be single, but you are not alone. So before you check into the Heartbreak Hotel, just remember that you may have 99 Problems this February 14th, but most likely, you also have a SexyBack.

So I'm Also Dating This Other Guy...

His name is Strep.

The key to having a healthy relationship with Strep is,

1)  To make yourself a unique, only-appetizing-when-living-in-a-college-dorm-room meal of rice, chow mein, chicken broth, and teriyaki sauce soup.

2) To do your homework. That is, if your homework is watching every Ryan Gosling movie available on Netflix instant watch. Especially Drive. Or just read these all day. 

3) To take your antibiotic cocktail and go to bed. Also, try not to think about how you are missing karaoke night at Brother Jimmy's, Strep may get jealous.
