Britt Has a Beer…(and a date?!)

Yes, the title doesn’t lie… BRITT FINALLY HAD A BEER! @^#*&@%#*!&^#* EFF YES THANK THE LORD ALMIGHTY! (oh and don’t worry, we’ll get to the date part guess who it was with and see if your right)

But first I must start with the almighty tradition that consumed Laura’s and my life on Saturday…

dunna nuna nuna nuna duck tour, DUCK TOUR!! Homegirls have been hatin on the Boston Duck Tour ever since moving to the city but when COM 101 came a knockin’ for a paper about a Boston activity the Duck Tour took up the call to arms. For those of you who don’t know duck tours are huge ass boats that haul tourists around Boston. Oh and the best part… THEY FLOAT. Yes, this little ducky takes tours down the Charles River.

Laura and I felt a little out of place… her with her bright blue Balenciaga bag and me chillin with some Tom Ford sunglasses. Not only were we the only ones in between the ages of 12 and 62 but we also seemed to be the only ones who don’t feel the least bit embarrassed at quacking at people on the streets as we drove by. But it was coo… our driver Mack kept us laughing with some cheesy ass jokes.

Truck/ Boat driver Mack.

It was a great start to the day but thangs only got better. Because at approximately 10:00 Megan’s brother picked us up and brought us over towards Bentley (another university about 30 minutes away) for a “house warming party.” AKA an excuse to drink large quantities of alcohol with a randy group of peeps. BUT HAYYY we love the randys. ESPECIALLY after a few of these…

JUNGLE JUICE

and these…

shits GOTTA be good if it glows in the dark!! right? right?!

So we got our friendly on and hollered at our new peeps with some Kings Cup.

Everybody say HAAAYYY. Once again the only blonde...

We picked up some very valuable tips during this game. Like our big buddy Chuck chillin in the back (who is also pre-med) informed us, if ever a friend is sick, roll them on their left side. It makes the alcohol move through the system faster. Thanks Chuck! Oh and if you go to BU DONT take an intro to science class. You’re asking for death.

We also learned the importance of making good rules while playing Kings Cup. If  you pull a Jack (I think that’s the card but don’t quote me) then you have to make up a rule. If i person forgets the rule they have to drink… here we’re a few of the nights favorites. You have to take “a little green imaginary man” off your cup before you drink. You must drink with your left hand. You cannot swear. And the favorite of the night… you must say “in my ass” after every phrase you say. Try it out a few times after sentences like “whose turn is it?” and “this game is redic.” We were laughing so hard after a bit our faces looked like this…

almost as red as the jungle juice!

At some point we smoked some amazingly delish hookah and made these super sick bubbles. I’ve never done this before but it was sooo freakin cool!! Have ya’ll ever seen people do that before?!

It was even cooler when they pop!

So maybe I'm too easily entertained?

And then the second most beautiful thing in the world happened. I opened a fridge to find about 120 of these ice cold babies.

I was so excited I immediately enlisted the help of my new friend, Vicky, to help me dominate a game of BP.

This was right before our last cup... obvi the boys were behind oh and there's Laura tryin to get in on the action.

After this shot we KILLED the boys. So they tried to rematch us by playing flip cup… which they lost at too. GIRL POWA. What can I say? This homegirl really enjoys her beer. Oh and drinking games.

Now here was the #1 most amazing thing in the entire world. As my reward for beating the shit out of them winning, instead of drinking cheapy college beer for the rest of the night, I was given free access to as many of these beautiful babies as I wanted…

AHHHH ONE OF THE LOVES OF MY LIFE.

(shout out to Momma O for tha pictcha writing!)

I WAS IN HEAVEN. The post could end right here…

Oh but wait! You wanna hear about my date?! Well last week I watched an AMAZING movie that everyone is now required to watch called Bottle Shock with Fredrik.

You have to rent it. PLEASE. I absolutely loved it. The humor was great and not raunchy like most of the funny movies I've seen lately.

Obviously since it’s a movie about wine we had a few bottles glasses while watching the movie. By the end we we’re even more chatty than usual and he asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner on Sunday! This homegirl doesn’t turn down a good meal so of course I said yes. KIDDING! I actually enjoy his company and would NEVER use someone for that!

So when Sunday rolled around I got all dressed up (he told me to dress nice) and we took a cab to an AMAZING restaurant in B-town called Sorellina. Since for obvious reasons I couldn’t picture hoe it up, here’s a little overview on what we wore because I LOVE when guys are all dressed up. He picked me up in dark jeans, black leather (amazingly Euro) looking shoes, a white button down, and a dark blue blazer. Oh and I pulled a simple LBD with the leather jacket, chunky rose gold bracelet, and these Elizabeth and James shoes (my new obsession in life), with wavy hair.

We looked pretty fab if I do say so myself. The restaurant was BEAUTIFUL to say the least. Here’s  a peak I stole from google.

Yes I know it's tiny but apparently the place doesn't believe in posting pics on the internet so I had to resort to this.

Before I could even look at the menu Fredrik already had two glasses of champagne and a bottle of some incred white wine on the table. I FELT SO EXTREMELY SPOILED. I really wish I could have whipped out my camera to show yall my food but I’ll just describe my dinner. I started with an arugula salad and for my main course had fettuccini with wild mushrooms and truffle butter. Fredrik had some killer looking salmon. (It looked so good I was momentarily sad to be a veggie. But then today I looked at National Geographic and what cattle is doing to the world and I felt a little better.) We both shared polenta cakes and truffled french fries with parmesan cheese. For desert we had some warm chocolate  cake thingy with vanilla gelato (very articulate I know) and a bottle of champagne. We chatted THE ENTIRE meal. Thank god it wasn’t one of those awk meals where convo randomly stops. Poor waiter I think felt like he was interrupting us. Needless to say the night was amazing and I felt like a little B-town princess.

Honestly it was prob one of my first real dates. And from the night I have made some of my very own dating rules…

#1 DO NOT ORDER A SALAD WITH LONG STEMS. Hardest thing to eat ever. Having stems look like their growing out of your mouth… NOT COOL.

#2 cut your pasta. Slurping is not cute either.

Ok lovelies sorry for the lack of pics but hmmm do I really need to be whippin out the camera on a date? Ya didn’t think so. I knew the blog world would understand! I’m off to do some real work (aka midterms? ick.) But a weekend recap with my gparents is coming soon!!

MUCH LOVIN!

The Hostess With the Mostess

Ok so I’ve been a little MIA but I’ve had a SUPER busy week! So I’m starting with last Saturday and then giving yall a quick overview of my week!

Last Saturday had a slow start… hangovers were kicking in hard core and I didn’t wake up until ONE FREAKIN THIRTY. That’s right folks. I slept my day away. I used to never sleep this late but since coming to college I really have nothing better to do on my Saturday mornings. Tha crew (Laura, Jasmine, Megan, and me) rolled down to the dining hall in our hung over finest.

One fatty plate of greasy, delicious, cheesy potatoes. A hang over needs some carby lovin.

And then I discovered one of the most exciting things ever… our cafeteria has plain yogurt!!! And I’m not talkin vanilla. I’m talkin plain creamy goodness that I can cover in whatever the eff I would like. Here’s Saturday’s concoction.

Plain yogurt with granola, honey, and bananas.

I honestly have no idea what we had for dinner that night. But I do recall that his is about the time we made the decision to go to a friends dorm at Northeaster to play a little big of poker and get our drank on.  Thankfully we brought our own chasers to the guy’s dorm. They always seem to forget those little things. And damn we were grateful!

Me and my super smart bag filled with Sprite, Fresca, and Red Bull.

We rolled up to Northeastern… and got the party started. Because apparently their RA’s (residence attendants) are in Boston speak “mad cool.”

Everybody take SHOTTS SHOOTTSS SHOOOTTSS

Since only like two of them ACTUALLY knew how to play poker, Megan had the idea of playing BS instead of poker. But every time anyone gets “bullshitted” or is wrong about someone “bullshitting” you have to take a shot……………

Kunal pouring one of the many, many shots of the evening.

Let’s just say we got happier and more aggressive with our BS calls after each shot.

Hmm...

Which resulted in moments such as this…

Until finally we got here…

Bahahha LOVE this one!

If you haven’t played BS and you like drinking games do this immediately. BEST IDEA MEGAN HAS EVER HAD. Unfortunately the RA’s didn’t agree with us. Even for Northeastern standards we were doin’ our drank and our two step a little too hard. So we quickly bounced out (without too much trouble from the RA’s besides getting rid of all the alcohol. but we took care of most of that before they got there so no harm done) and waited for the boys around the corner. In the mean time we took these…

Kunal was kinda angry at Jas for getting him in trouble so he took a swing... KIDDING!

I made a few phone calls and ended up finding a party at my friend John’s house in B-town. So we hopped in a cab and took a blurry cab ride over to his house. It looked like this.

@&^#%@& ABSOLUTELY GORG. I was terrified to spill anything on that couch.

It was apparent they needed our help… It was 2 guys with a bunch of RANDY girls running around.

Exhibit A

And by randy I mean drunk girls in bras. NOT KOSHER. One of them told John (in front of Fredrik and me) that if he didn’t come down stairs with her immediately that she was, “CALLING MY DADDY TO TELL ON YOU.” (I wish i was kidding.) So I took up the position of hostess to help tame the beasts. It’s what any good foodie/ entertainer would do!

The lady of the house.

So I gave a few more house tours. (Mostly showing people the bathroom.) And then mixed some drinks.

Ok well maybe Fredrik mixed them... BUT I HELPED. (oh and Exhibit B of drunk girl.)

And then I made omelettes.

UTTER FAIL.

After carrying a few girls downstairs and accidently getting locked out of the house while trying to find the garage (for more wine of course) we rolled home at 6:30. Man I love college. The looks the security guards gave us were great.

The rest of my week was filled with papers, studying for midterms, and AMAZING restaurants. Here’s a few of the week’s highlights.

One day for lunch I had this…

My first veggie burger and sweet potato fries in B-town!! Unfortunately the burger was a bit dry but hayyy homegirl was still satisfied.

And on Sunday for dinner we had Indian take-out!

I have no idea what this is called but it was some kind of delish cheese thing with peppers!

Tuesday Laura and I had our weekly dinner with our friend Muki at a great Japanese food place close to campus called Fin’s.

I’m all about restaurant atmosphere and this place had it goin on. We had a few giggles before the food came including Muki making fun of my complete blindness. I really can’t see jack shit. So when I was glancing off into the restaurant she thought I WAS WINKING AT SOME GUY! Aahah too bad he wasn’t very cute or the whole blindness thing could work to my advantage. Anyways the food was pretty good too! I gobbled down all of these babies in no time.

A whole bunch of veggies stuffed in a role. Yummmm

Some time during the week Laura and I had lunch at our fav pad thai place. Here’s my fav plate of goodness.

Spicy pad thai with AMAZING tofu.

On Thursday Laura and I were left to our own devices because our two of our usual clan had midterms to worry about. So we treated ourselves to a bottle (or two) of wine and dinner at Typhoon.

Dinner was good. I have veggie currie with tofu. But the real stars of the dinner were these babies…

FRIED BANANAS. best desert ever.

Our dinner also had entertainment… There were a group of 40 somethings on vacation sitting next to us and the lady was WASTED. I’m not talking just a little, I mean full on giving us speeches about “beer before liquor never been sicker.” Does homegirl not realize we’re in college and can probably handle our alcohol better than she can?! Regardless it was hilar. The table ordered flaming sambucas and would SCREAM every time the took a sip. Laura and I spent half the dinner hiding our laughing faces behind the massive fake plant that separated the tables. But maybe we should have listened…

Cuz the drinks hit hard.

Well thats all for now folks. I’m sorry I had to leave you with only one night of going out and a few restaurant trips but life is SUPA busy on the BU home front and this homegirl has essays to write. I LOVE ALL YOU PEOPLE. and promise to be a better blogger as soon as these midterms are done!!

Have a fabulous week!

Oh and ps my amazing momma is visiting me this weekend and she’s bringing my favorite old people!! (My grandparents) Get ready for some hilar family stories.

Loosey Goosey

Vassup party people?! Thursday started out amazing for one very simple reason… I had a missed call from this man.

I drool. He, in theory, is my perfect man.

FYI the Gg is what your looking at.

For those of you who need a reminder Gg is a GORGY Norwegian man I met and briefly dated this summer who would get REDIC drunk and pay for all of our drinks and then get limos to drive us all home. You can get the full juicy dets. on my bffffsss blogs here or here. I haven’t talked to him in MONTHS and YES it was at 2 am San Fran time when he called which means YES it probably was a drunk dial. But when a guy looks like that does it really matter when or what state the call was made in?!? I say HELL NO. Here’s one last look.

Can you see why this call made my day?

Thursday was also the first day  Laura and I turned off our fans since moving in. (We have 5 and the dorms are a furnace.) Shit got cold. GAME ON! I am so ready for cold weather it’s not even funny. So I embraced the weather with this incredibly comfy fit.

Extreme comfort. Jcrew pixie pants, tall ass socks, Anne Klein boots (randy i know), Rugby plaid shirt, and Marc by Marc cashmere scarf. Ohhh how I love fall fashion!

After an incredibly dull afternoon Laura and I met to carb load aka lunch. Please don’t judge…

INCRED pasta with alfredo sauce and garlic. Straight outa tha oven.

Delish salad, mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and cracked pepper on top.

God bless the GSU (BU’s student center) for providing such amazingly edible food. After lunch I did a bit of cleaning. (Febreze baby!!)

For din we went down to the dining hall to fill our tums before the first event of Thirsty Thursday began.

Sliced wheat with provolone cheese, lettuce, onions, cranberry sauce, and a little bit of mayo thrown on the grill. West dining hall makes THE best sandwiches. (despite the attitude from the people making them. I got a death stare for asking for 2 slices of cheese.)

Then it was time to pregame…

The Goose got yo girls feelin loose.

After a few of those we headed out to the hookah lounge down the street where we met up with a bunch of friends. Oh and we did some more pregaming.

Paige and me creepin in the b-room.

When we got back the boys had ordered…

...and Laura was hard at work. ahhaha

Ours had an apple as the bowl! How cool is that?!?

Fredrik tried to teach me how to blow some “O’s” but unfortunately his skills didn’t rub off on me. (I can’t figure out how to do it for the life of me!)

Isn't that cool?!

(Oh and for those of you who asked Fredrik is my friend from Sweden and unlike my other Scandinavian man from the beginning of this post we are not romantically involved. Just wine buddies.)

After awhile of laughing and smoking the Goose started to wear off so we treked back to the dorms to get some shut eye before classes on Friday.

Friday was pretty uneventful until my main B-town bitches and I decided to go to Newbury for a bit of retail therapy.

Roomie love. Please excuse my chub cheeks.

Laura and I were feeling a little bit like Debbie Downers. She couldn’t find her shoes, I was starving and bought a shirt that turned out to look really awk on, and we couldn’t find anything to do that night! So Laura, Megan, Jasmine, and I turned to the Mecca of delish food… CPK! CPK! Oh how I love their hummas and grilled veggie salad.

Ok yes I know there's like no food left. BUT HOMEGIRLS WERE HUNGRY. What your supposed to see is this delish pizza salad, hummas and pita, grilled veggie salad, artichoke dip, and chicken dumplings(not for me of course). Needless to say... we enjoyed all of it.

I haven’t made a happy plate like that in awhile. And the night just got happier as soon as we received a phone call from our friend, Karan, inviting us to a b-day bash! So we dashed home, but our party hats on…

See peeps my hurrr does not start out all cool and shit. THIS MANE TAKES WORK. Don't worry I've had several request to show you homies how it's done. Expect a video soon!

took a few for the road…

And hopped on over to the party after a bus ride (in the opposite direction. oops) and a cab ride. On our bus to nowhere we discovered I have inherited Laura’s Asian gene for getting red as fuck after drinking…

Jasmine helping my find my inner Asian.

By the time we got there (40 MINUTES LATER) I needed a big ass drank. Laura came to the rescue.

Homie doin work...

The apartment was GORG and overlooked Fenway park. Can a girl ask for more?? Unfortunately none of those pics came out. (aka Laura’s a HUGE Yankee’s fan) So we had s’more drinks. After a few of those we were feelin’ single and ready to mingle.

Jasmine, Megan, Laura, and I doin' our thang.

Unfortunately the party was not feelin’ our happy vibes. So we hopped a ride back to the hookah bar to meet some other friends.

Yeah apparently I'm the ride...

Laura and me riding off into the sunset... err blackness.

BUT WAIT! Before the ride ended we ran into this homie…

Fredrik and me outside our dorms!

Fredrik had been on his way to his fraternity initiation boat cruise (feelin a little crunk) but his cab got lost SO HE MISSED THE BOAT! He was left to wander the city. Drunk. In a suit. ahahhaa after saying goodbye to drunk and confused Fredrik we finally made it to the hookah bar. (Via cab not donkey de Brittany. Those shoes don’t walk!)

Laura, Megan, and Mayer. (Meg has requested more normal pics of herself so here's a good one of ma hot mommas and the guy who spoils us.)

Side Note: Has anyone noticed that I am the only blonde person, ALWAYS (besides Fredrik but he doesn’t count). Maybe it’s because I’m from Cali and I’m used to blondes but the BU peeps were not kidding when they said our school is DIVERSE. But you peeps already know I love my foreigners. Oh and I’m also always the only one who doesn’t speak another language besides English. WHY AM I SO LAME??

And then we ate these…

BEST. FRIES. EVER.

Since being at BU there have not been that many moments that we have felt truly spontaneous but when Mayer asked us if we wanted to come back to Babson (another university about 25 minutes away. Also note Mayer doesn’t drink) the Goosed up girls said HELLS YA. So we hopped up of tha beeeddd (or couch. whatev. Turn My Swag On anybody?!), hopped up in tha Range, and took a ride that kinda looked like this over to Babson…

Picture from the backseat of Mayer's car. We felt really this encapsulated the overall feel of the night.

After being in college for a little over a month I forgot how fun it is driving in fast cars! We danced, sang, and jammed out to some super sick beats such as this one , my new favorite song. In what seemed like no time we had arrived…

The boys toured us around the school and we chilled for awhile. At about four we finally got in a cab and went back to our warm beds. But not before our cab driver informed us that a) Van Halen is the most amazing band of all time and b) that the intersection between Babson and BU is the most dangerous in Boston we girls (with all of our cars because so many college students have those) shouldn’t drive through it fast. Thanks John!!

Sorry guys that was a very long post and I haven’t even gotten to Saturday (and trust me, it’s good) but tomorrow I’ll give the full dets. For now I’m off to do homework (write massive amounts of papers).

Have a terrific Tuesday!!

P.S. I promise I am not intentionally ignoring blog commenting I’ve just been so crazy busy this weekend and damn you homies post fast! But I’m all over it tomorrow! Pinky swear.

PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUTS!

Red Light, Green Light

Hello you wonderfully welcoming people!!! I don’t even know where to begin. The love that I have received in the past 24 hours makes me go why the eff didn’t I start blogging sooner?!?! I have never had the pleasure of meeting so many kind, generous, and complimentary people at one time in my whole entire life. Blog world… I bow down to your incredibleness. And today was a day that I needed all yall in my life because it wasn’t a green day on the red light scale if ya know what I mean.

My day started off AMAZINGLY but only because I got to read an insane amount of welcoming comments. But after that things were pretty damn bad…

Wake up late, blah, blah, Cashew Cookie Lara, Starbucks, blah, blah, French, blah,  LUNCH BREAK!

Laura and I went to Extreme Pita (this little place on campus and one of our personal favs. We eat it 6 times a week, no lie.). She had a cheese steak pita (I told you she likes her meat) and I had a grilled veggie!

Grilled onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms with lettuce, cucumber, pickles, banana peppers, cheese, carrots, and honey mustard.

This place is actually amazing for campus food. They grill veggies on a separate side of the grill and they only use water, not oil. But the homie making mine was feeling a bit too generous and this happened…

It turned into a pita salad

After lunch I read more fabby comments did some work and then had to head back to class. Philosophy. Oh jesus. At least my prof. is adorable. He’s probably in his 30’s and is really short, timid, and wears glasses. But he wears grey slacks, a button down, and perfectly cleaned sneakers, usually Converse, every day. I think he’s the cutest thing alive even though I usually have no idea what he’s talking about. I tried taking a SUPER creepy pic of him but failed. I’ll try again on Friday.

After class I made my first adventure to the BU library to visit my friend, Fredrik, who had been there all day working on a paper. I brought him a little sweet treat to keep him working.

Stalkerish picture of Fredrik opening his treat...

The surprise was ginger cookies of course!! (I’m a bad blogger I know, I forgot to take a pic. But I promise I’ll get better about this stuff.) He was so happy/ grateful for the motivation he even offered to share! We sat for a few and enjoyed our cookies until we were interrupted…

by a very mean librarian who actually looked exactly like this, strange shaped boobs and all.

She yelled at us for bringing food into the library. BOOOO buzz kill. I HATE getting into trouble (well getting caught) So I left Fredrik to finish his paper. On my way back to my dorm I called my dad to wish my little brother a happy 6th birthday! My dad lives in Texas and is remarried to my WONDERFUL stepmom, Anna. They have two little boys Brendan (6) and Cameran (3). Days like these make me so sad that I’m not closer to Texas so I can be in their lives more!

Here's Cameran, my pops, me, and Brendan at my graduation.

But when I answered the phone my dad was in a panic. On Monday when I asked Brendan what he wanted for his birthday he told me he wanted a computer game. Of course I told him I would get it for him. Miscommunications happened and when he woke up this morning he told everyone in sight that his sister was coming to see him after school (he’s in kindergarden) to bring him his present. When he got home and I wasn’t there he cried for an hour straight. IT BROKE MY HEART. Tears were still being shed when he got on the phone with me (and he was not the only one crying). He told me that since I wasn’t coming that no one would come to his party and he would have to eat cake all alone. (How funny is he even when he’s sad?!) But after a few minutes of talking, this darling little boy was finally feeling better.

My favorite picture of all time. Thank you by bff brookie for capturing this moment.

In our hour long conversation he told me how at school kids get green, yellow, or red cards depending on how good they were that day. But he said little boys who don’t do their homework get red cards and are losers. Brendan informed me that he hated homework so much (direct quote) “I really just think I want to be a loser.” and that “when I have 15 more birthdays I can just play baseball all day instead.” The kid has attitude.

Happy birthday Squirt! I love you so much!

Needless to say it put a huge damper on my day that I couldn’t be there. I tried to drown my sorrows in this…

TJ's Tripple Layer with carrots!

but MY CARROTS WERE FROZEN (i told you this was a bad day). So I tried again with a safe fire, made to make you feel good food…

GOD. IN A PRETZEL.

and then to add to the excitingness of this day i did a pile of  laundry that might be the size of my entire body. And what do ya know but the machine ate $2!! Spec-freakin-tacular.

How two girls can accumulate that much laundry in only a week, I have know idea.

But my day took a HUGE right turn at red when I came back upstairs and started stalking the shit out of all yall incred people!! I blog stalked for HOURS while listening to my happy music, Journey. It reminds me of times such as these…

Blurriness, Priest DJ, crazy Irish red hair, and singing!!

Irish men, bars, summer, tanness, and Brookie even though (brace yourselves) the girl isn't that big of a Journey fan.

I tried my best to get through as many blogs as humanly possible to pass on all the love you peeps blessed upon me yesterday and today. But shooot there are a lot of yall! I didn’t get through everyone but I swear its my life goal for tomorrow. My google reader is goin cray cray with all this action!

And I know, I know, I’m britt likes beer and yall still haven’t seen any scandal  but I am in college and tomorrow is Thirsty Thursday so here’s a little teaser of what’s to come!

P.S. Fredrik is still in the library at 12:45.

P.P.S. and as Brooke reminded me… what I ate for dinner. THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT THING I’VE EATEN SINCE COMING TO BU. So insignificant I forgot to even mention it! Just incase that spiked your interest it was kinda cold pasta with marinara and a few veggies. The salad bar was already closed when i got there!

Watch Out Bean Town, There’s a New Blogger on the Loose!

Hello new blogger friends! My name is Brittany and I am an 18 year old girl loving life as a freshman at Boston University!

Hey hey... this is me. In Boston Common. Looking waaaayyyyy innocent.

I’ve been reading blogs since my BFF Brookie Cookie (Homegirl) started a blog in April. After spending every damn day of this summer with her, Kailey, and their bloggie ways (and after them harassing the shit out of me) I decided it was time I started a blog of my own…

1) To tell the whole truth and nothing but the scandals truth about my crazy fun life and all the trouble I get myself into (especially after a drank or two).

Like what is all this green shit and why are Brooke and I sitting in it?!

And WHAT are Kailey and I doing? (More importantly... WHY? Not even we really know the answer.)

2) I got used to watching Brookie take pictures of every single thing we ate and honestly, I MISS IT! Shoot, it’s strange not having total strangers looking at my daily food consumption!

3) As of August I am a vegetarian and I just have so much to say about my new eating habits!

4) I want to be a part of this AMAZING community that has made my homies feel so welcomed and loved! I’ve watched the blog world embrace them and who wouldn’t want to be a part of that??

and finally…

5) I LOVE to eat!! (and drink me a good brew)

A fridge full of wonderful.

But now that summer is over and I’ve shipped up to Boston all alone it’s time for me to document my adventures! I hope you enjoy!

So let me jump right in and start with my eats on my very first day of blogging! (Sorry but this one will not include brew.) I woke up a little on the late side this morning. Ok, 45 minutes late. Ooops… So I grabbed this on my way out the door.

Apple Pie Lara Bar. All a girl needs in a breakfast.

Thankfully after making it to class just in time (and after 1.5 hours of torture via Communication 101) I was free for 2 glorious hours!  My diva roommate, Laura, also had a break.

Here's my roomie btw. She's my "Krazy Korean" and trust me you will be seeing a lot of her since she's the East coast version of me. (plus TONS of meat)

So we skipped our exhausted selves over to one of the EIGHT Starbucks on campus to get a very large and deserved cup of coffee. (Seriously who needs that many Starbucks within a two mile radius?!)

Tall non-fat latte and Freud. Wow I really am in college now.

After two blissful hours of blogging and chatting studying in those massively amazing Starbucks chairs, we dragged ourselves back to class for another 3 hours. Finally I made it home to make a delicious snack of TJ’s Triple Layer Hummas and TJ’S multi-grain cracker. TDF. Seriously I forgot how amazing this stuff is.

DROOL. I bought this little baby 2 days ago and its already halfway gone...

And I had me like 10 glasses of water from the new love in my life…

MY BRAND NEW BRITA FILTER!!!

I am a complete water hoe. I love it. But ever since coming to college drinking it has become inconvenient. (I have to go down a full 8 floors to the dining hall and really, who wants to do that?) But my skin has been horrible since I’ve been in Boston! Brooke made the connection about a week ago that the two were related (what a great bff). I got my ass down to Shaws immediately and bought my beloved Brita. Conditions are improving. I’ll keep you posted. And then I ate a cookie…

Every girl needs a cookie once in awhile. Especially a ginger one.

The afternoon flew by and before we knew it, it was time for dinner! And homegirls had some big plans. So Laura and I got dressed…

Here I am sitting on my messy bed rockin' my new Burberry scarf!

and skipped over to our friends dorm…

Meg and Jas were a bit surprised by our intrusion.

… when they informed us that they weren’t coming to dinner. BUT WE DO NOT PASS UP MEALS. So after only a few minutes of convincing the 4 of us got our booties onto the T.

You know your a freshman when your taking pictures in front of the T-stop. ahhaah seriously only Laura could make that nasty thing glamorous.

We headed over to Newbury St. to meet another girlfriend for a delicious meal at Scoozi! It’s adorable and usually bumpin’ on sunny days but since it was chilly tonight we sat inside.

Megan and Muki posed for me so I could pretend like I was taking a pic of them and not the decor... ahah thanks guys.

For dinner  I started with a pear and gorgonzola salad with candied walnuts.

Don't the pears kinda look like mochi??

Sorry for the brightness. My flash was goin CRAY CRAY.

While it was delish, the dinky pears made me wish I was back in San Fran eating a fatty salad with super fresh fruits and veggies. California just had the best! For my main course I had a “Mediterranean Panini” with tomatoes, lettuce, feta cheese, and a sweet pepper tapenade.

Soooo good. i ate the whole damn thing.

After chowing down and laughing at Muki’s story of finding a RAT IN HER DORM ROOM (I mean really?? how much do we pay a year in tuition and girls are finding rats in their room?! This shit is not okay.) we headed back to our dorms to get a little bit of work done. Now I’m sitting in bed making my first post (yayayay!!!!) for you lovely people! I hope you enjoyed and thanks so much for checkin’ out my brand new blog!

PS- If anyone knows of some great restaurants in the Boston area let me know! We’re always looking for new great places to try!
