Hey Guys! It's been a bit since I've posted, but I finally found some time to actually write!
Since I've posted:
- Got a newspaper internship! It's quite a feat to juggle all my academics, school-related extracurriculars, and this internship, but I think of it as training for life outside high school! I'm pretty darn busy, but it's better than being bored and being a lazy butt!
- I think I've finalized my college list... I think. Scary thought! I also interviewed with my #1 and plan on interviewing with a couple more. Naturally, all of them are J-Schools (Journalism Schools, hehe).
- My J.Crew and Kate Spade obsessions are at an all time high, and, OF COURSE, my fund$ are at an all time low. Hopefully that will change soon...
Anyway, I thought doing multi-paragraph and dense political rants on all my posts would get a bit monotonous for my dear readers. So, from now on I'll be doing Friday Fives, just for a cool way to tell you guys what's been on my radar.
ONE // Government Shutdown Ends
Yeah, the Gov. Shutdown ended... Seriously I have NO idea what Congress wants us to do. Do they want us to pop a bottle of bubbly just because they failed to do their jobs in the first place? Yeah, NO. And the whole "THE ECONOMY WILL DIE" bit never happened either. Boring. Uneventful. Next.
TWO // BBC Turns 91!
Happy Birthday to my future employer! Haha, just kidding... (No I'm not...). But in all seriousness, BBC has been and always will be the most prominent name in global news in my eyes. A truly reliable source, and all the best of journalism represented under one roof (but actually, their newsroom is my heaven).
THREE // Benedict Cumberbatch
The Fifth Estate comes out tonight AND he landed TIME's international cover! Seriously though, if you look up "Perfect British Male," his picture will probably show up along with Tom Hiddleston's. If anyone happens to watch The Fifth Estate, please tell me what you thought of it, I'd love to hear! Especially since Wikileaks has been consistently clogging my Twitter feed with their negative campaign against the film... The whole drama around this film just makes it more interesting!
FOUR // House of Cards
If you have not watched this amazing Netflix series, PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch it RIGHT NOW. It's beyond perfect, especially for political junkies! I adored Kevin Spacey in American Beauty, and he does not disappoint here. All the episodes of Season One are currently on Netflix, and Season Two starts February 1st. It's going to be the perfect motivation to get me through first semester finals!
FIVE // Kate Spade
I told you I was obsessed. I can't get enough of their tech gear, like this geek chic "dictionary" iPad folio, and their girly luxuries, like these inhumanly beautiful shoes (Only a bit over $500 for those babies, but hey, they're gorgeous).
xx - Julia
