Can I just thank the genius who decided to give us college kids a 4 week winter break?
Brilliant.
You may think having nothing to do for a month would get boring. But it is glorious. Purely glorious.

Just a College Night
Go out with a bang. That must have been the motto of last night, because it was the epitome of a college night out. It involved drunkenness, fights, falling, randomness, and Jimmy Johns.
It all started out innocent enough. Three friends and I (Mel and Liz) went to a Mexican restaurant, and since we were celebrating, ordered Monster Margaritas on the Rocks. Turns out a Monster Margarita is 45 oz. of nearly straight tequila. To give you some perspective, 60 oz. is a pitcher. Then, halfway through our meal, our waiter brought us tequila shots on the house! Amazing? I'd say yes.
After mucho drinking we decided to go to a BDubs (Buffalo Wild Wings) and each had a good three beers. I also apparently sent some inappropriate text messages to Kyle's little brother. Hey, it happens.
We then thought a movie was in store, to which we headed to the theater, to which I discovered my phone was missing. Back to BDubs, looked for a good 20 minutes, until Mel asked me if maybe, just maybe, the phone was in my pocket. Oh. Who would have thought? She then tackled me, we slipped on ice, fell hard and laughed hysterically (drunkenly) for about five minutes.
Finally we made it to the movie, which we were 10 minutes late for, which we therefore couldn't comprehend. After 20 minutes, we decided to leave. On our way out, Mel broke a movie promotion by sitting on top of it, and Liz somehow got our money back. I really don't remember how that happened.
We then worked our way to Firehaus, found some of our guy friends there, shared two fishbowls (biggest mistake), and got in a fight.
Fight 1, coat is sitting on a stool I need, I push coat off of stool, sit on stool. Bitchy girl comes to me and says "Ummmmm excuse me there was a coat sitting on that chair. I was saving it" "Oh, I'm sorry, was someone sitting here?" "No...." "oh, Well what is the problem then?" I turn around, and about 5 of her friends come over, and yell at me and my friends. (To which I'm pretty sure we won, because I stayed on the stool, and they walked away). Was it a bitchy move on my part? Maybe.
Fight 2, after we had been outside on our phones, and were coming back into the bar, the same bitchy girl looks at us and starts yelling at Liz to shut the door because its "soooooo cold." I'm pretty sure Liz said some snotty remark, because the girl pushed Liz! Mel, who was closest, started yelling at bitchy girl, got in her face, and then bitchy girl punched Mel in the forehead and ran away like a puss!!!
Well, this caused quite the scene as you can imagine, and we were either asked to leave by management, or left on our own. I don't quite remember those details either.
Next, after driving around with our guy friends (with a DD) we decided to go to Brothers. This involved more drinking, dancing, and a full cup of beer being spilled in my hair. Gotta love it.
Then, Jimmy Johns. A "quick" trip for some food turned into a 45 minute wait when old Jimmy ran out of bread.
Followed by a 20 minute walk home in the freezing weather, to which my windburned face and bright red lips can still attest to today. Finally, a sleepover for me and Mel in my apartment.
Bedtime: 4:30am.
Memories: Forever. (Sorry, I know that was unGodly lame)

Exhibit C
I would really love to please my blog readers, and tell the most-likely annoyed that this is going to be my last post on the famed Spaghetti Cat.
Yet......
I just don't give a shit. I love him, and that's all that matters. It's called: "Getting Whitney through her last 3 days of college" people.
Exhibit B
I would really love my senior thesis paper to be utterly fascinating and amazing. And I would also really love to pass my last final on Monday with flying colors.
Yet.......
I just don't care anymore about writing a good (last) paper of my undergrad career. And as much as I don't want to fail, I don't care to put any effort whatsoever into studying for my Monday final.
I don't want to let others down. But I just. don't. give. a. shit. anymore.
Senoritas.

Exhibit A
An example of how my extreme need to please others and knack for not giving a shit often come to be at odds with one another:
I feel very guilty for not going out with a bunch of my coworkers tonight to wish a fellow employee off as he makes his way into the real world. And by guilty I mean, GUILTY.
Yet....
I couldn't care less than two craps about most of my coworkers, who I have no real relationships with. Going out with them, is no longer fun.
I don't care. But I do.
Isn't that the worst?
At least I got a ton of progress done on my huge senior thesis paper. Oh, who am I kidding....
That's what Sunday is for!

Yikes!
I am currently:
1. On my 6th (very strong) cup of coffee of the evening. So strong in fact, I can actually feel the coffee grinds swirling around in my mouth
2. Unable to hold a pen with a steady hand, due to the amount of caffeine in my system
3. Learning a semester's worth of Sociology terms, themes, and ideas
4. Getting ready to take my second to last final of my college career....TOMORROW!
Yikes!

A real blog?
What could be a blog anymore, with me not mentioning the drama at work? I suppose those outside of my family haven't heard the recent updates, so here goes:
- "C" had a miscarriage. A very sad thing indeed, but I'm sure "R" was thrilled.
- "C's" miscarriage was announced at work, in front of "N" who still had never even been officially informed about the entire situation.
- When "N" confronted "R" he denied it. Matter of fact, he said "C" was lying about being pregnant.
- Two days later, "R" decided to 'come clean' with "N". He told her that "C" just thinks they're dating and is always hanging on him. He also mentioned they 'only had sex once' and that's when "C" got pregnant. Oh, and he and his mom believe she did it on purpose.
-Three days later, "R" introduces "C" to nearly every customer at the restaurant as his girlfriend. Right in front of "N".
It's never ending I tell you! I also found out two more of my coworkers (who have never been mentioned on this blog) have been sleeping with one another. And of coures, that involved cheating on their significant others as well. Niceee. I work in a fucking whore house. Do you see why I turn to Spaghetti Cat? He's the only comfort I have in this crazy, mixed-up, sexually charged world.
Other than the work dramz, life has been steadily ticking along. My thanksgiving break was alright, but disrupted by my nagging conscious to work on all my homework. And this past week has been filled with numerous papers, little to no sleep, and mountains of stress.
And yet.....I haven't wanted it to end.
I only have THREE days of class left. And then a few finals and final papers. And then? I'm DONE with college. Yikes!
It is insanely unbelievable that I will be student teaching next semester. And while I'll be SUPA busy, I'm hoping blogging will serve as a good tool for stress relief. I just can't believe it though. I am FINISHED with college. I know I say it all the time, but where has the past four years gone??
What a bittersweet moment. I'm terribly sad to leave a place I've come to love. I tear up just thinking about leaving all the great friends I've made. And of course I'm going to miss the days of skipping class and no real responsibility. And yet....I have this huge new chapter opening in my life. And I get to go into my dream career.
Now, if only I could meet Spaghetti Cat, and my life would be complete. :)
Have a good weekend everyone!!!

I Weep For You
I know it's been two weeks since my last blog, and trust me I have lots to tell. But as the story of my life goes, I need to do a project and paper first. Hopefully by this weekend some normalcy can return to my life and I will blog my heart out!!
Until then, I know you haven't forgotten about my Spaghetti Cat fascination I trust?
Please witness, the greatest thing ever:
"Spaghetti Cat (I weep for you)"
