Late Post: Graduation Party!

HOLY MOLY I can't believe I forgot to make a post about this!

 Lindsey: STOPPPPPPP

 I GOT A CAKE WITH MY FACE ON IT. 

EATIN MA FACE.

Our family friends were so nice enough to buy me a red velvet cake and have them write my name on it! 

As you can tell in the pictures, it was pretty crowded up in there. All of my family was able to come and I was really happy to see all of them. I feel so loved and blessed to have such caring family and friends who support me in so many ways. It was a really great celebration as I transitioned onto a new chapter in my life!

Sluts Gone Wild

Hurro, it feels like it's been a long time since I've lost blogged even though it hasn't really.
Nothing interesting has been really going on in my life and for the past week I have basically been like this:

                                                              <- ME
Besides staying at home and being sad all day I have so far done... 

SJSU Orientation

So when I was first signing up for what orientation session I wanted to go to, I chose the very first session. I didn't think much of it all I thought was "hm I will go first because I don't want to worry about not being able to get my classes" ha ha ha BIG MISTAKE. I really didn't want to go and the entire time before it I was just regretting having to go. It was pretty much the most awkwardest 24 hours of my life. My roommates were okay... but the room was awful and I had to sleep on the top bunk bed which was terrible because I am so scared of heights and I woke up every 30 minutes and would have mini heart attacks because I was scared that I was about to fall off. 

I spent most of my time there alone and every time I talked to someone I just felt super awkward. Whenever I met someone new I spent most of my time just racking my brain to find something interesting to talk about with them. By the end of it, all I wanted to do was schedule my classes and go home to see Aaron. If it wasn't for my mom then I have no idea what I would do because I stayed by her side the whole time before they made the parents leave. My mom talked way more to the other students than I did, and the entire time I was just envying her and wishing I could be as brave and as friendly as she is.

^^My Orientation Leader's instagram pic of all of us 

I won't lie--it was a really good, organized orientation. My orientation leader was really nice and he really made me feel welcome. The other orientation leaders were all super crazy and hyper and they did a really good job with making us get "pumped up." (But I think it was just because it was their very first session so they had all the energy in the world) We also talked a lot about the issues that can happen when you're in college (i.e. partying, cheating, not making friends, not getting involved with on-campus activities) and they really handed all of us good advice. When I was a freshman in high school, I remember not really feeling welcome at all during orientation/my first year because the upperclassman would always look down on us. In college it's completely different and no one really cares about who you are or how old you are and its a really nice, comforting feeling.

Ken's Birthday Party 

 ^^Isn't this sho cute?! ｡◕‿◕｡

Ken's birthday party at Buca di Beppo. Which was kinda sad because it was supposed to be like 13+ of us but it ended up being only like 7 people. :/

After we ate there, me and Mei went back to my house, where Aaron already was waiting for us, and then Justin came over and we watched warm bodies. In my opinion, I thought that it was really cute and I really liked the overall storyline.

"Thirsty Thursday" 

 I spent most of the day with Aaron and then packed him a lunch before he had to leave for work. I think that I should win an award as the best girlfriend ever kekeke

After he left I went to the movies with Diamond and Saeko to watch *dum dum dummmm* THE PURGE. Hahaha it freaking sucked. I think that some parts of it were scary but the ending was terrible and the movie's story didn't really have much going for it. I think that a lot of people wanted to watch it just because it seemed interesting. Which I mean some parts of it were but by the end of it it just kept getting worse and worse and worse. After we watched the movie we went to get Quickly and then we picked up Aaron and I brought him his Quickly. Then we went to a park to meet up with a group of friends and also to say bye to Justin because he was going to be leaving for Korea in two days. :( #sad I drank so much tea that night that I had to pee nonstop.

A Pleasant Surprise ♡

Hello hello! So last night me and my BFF Mei decided to go have a GNO, we first went to the local mall because I wanted to search for my new laptop. 

 

Right now I am deciding between getting a 13" MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air. The MacBook air doesn't have a CD drive though so I'm not sure if I'd want to get it because I do want to be able to watch movie on it and play CD's too. 

SubZERO Festival 

 Lol pardon this pic being blurry as fuck^^

 First we ate dinner at this place called Iguanas. Mei got these fries that I don't remember what the name was LOL but they tasted suppah good when I tried them. I had already ate Chipotle and I was crampy and bloated and eh so I didn't eat anything.

The festival was really cool! We didn't even know that it was happening and we just happened to stumble into it. (I guess you could say it was a "pleasant surprise" wink wink)! It was full of a lot of weird, spiritual, hippie people. But at the same time it was nice being around all of them because you could really tell how down-to-earth they all were. Being there it kinda made me even more excited to attend SJSU, because I really love how Downtown SJ has really good restaurants around it and there's always various festivals to attend.

This was what one of the main stages looked like. And the fat guy talking into the microphone was some guy saying his poetry or whatever. It was all pretty weird and he kept intensely spitting into the microphone. 

 We also got to see a band perform! They weren't famous or anything, but they sounded really good. They kinda reminded me of Monsters and Men, and they all had very good vocals.

 Human Art^^

  It was kinda nasty because for some of the people you could clearly see their vajayjays and everything lololol.

Chalk Art Festival^^

"Let loose & free your mind" 

Banana Crepe 

Mango + Guava goodness ◕‿◕

After we went to the festival we drove to Downtown Japantown and ate at Banana Crepe! I got a snow cone and Mei got a nutella crepe. They were both super yummy and overall an end to a good day. Whoop whoop! Horray for GNO's!

The Beginning of the End ♡

The best day of my life: When I got my Xbox Kinect!

I finally made up my mind and I bought my very own Xbox! I was so excited when I walked into Gamestop that I thought I was going to poop. The fat lady that worked there was really rude and was like: "oh do you know what you're doing in here? You seem like someone who isn't familiar with video games." And I was like bitch plz u is ugly.

I also bought the Star Wars Kinect game and it's the best thing that I ever bought. You get to do pod racing, and move things with the force, and galactic dance offs infront of Jabba the Hutt, and after playing it once I already felt like a true Jedi. The next games that I hope to buy are Bioshock, Tomb Raider, Saints Row IV (when it comes out), and Lego Star Wars III. 

June 3rd Senior Class Beach Day

When we first got there it was cloudy af and freezing. But then it got sunny! .... but then we left like 20 mins after it was nice. So yeah it sucked. 

One day after graduation practice me and Saeko went and ate out at this Vietnamese restaurant. 

Nom nom nom nom 

June 6th Graduation Day!!!

Wow wow wow! I woke up this morning and ran around the house like crazy and was like WOOOO GRADUATION DAAAY but then I realized it was 6:30 AM and was like: oh... And then went back to sleep. This post is mostly just going to be a plethora of photos VVV 

All of da blue peeps~

Some of my family members came and I was really happy that they showed up ^_^

Ma fambam 

My sister bought me this lei!~

Herp ta derp 

Merrrrr

mwhahahahaha

 I was kind of sad that I decided to not go to grad night because at the last minute a bunch of my friends decided to go. But at the same time I was pretty tired and I went to sleep at 10:30 PM LOL so much for late night celebrating.

When I think about it at the end of the day, these past four years really did go by fast and it really wasn't all that bad. I didn't have any negative, traumatic incidents happen to me, I always had friends there to support me, and I passed all of my classes and was able to receive my diploma. Even though it sounds like such an easy thing to do, I can see why passing high school can at times be hard for certain people. I remember wanting to drop out after my sophomore year and just go to middle college because I thought it would be a lot easier there for such an introverted person like me. I am now happy to say that I didn't do that and instead I stuck with it. Even though I wasn't close with a lot of the seniors, I still did feel a certain type of unity with all of them this past year during our last rallies, classes, and final graduation with them. I'm glad that I went to Prospect or else I wouldn't have been able to stay friends with people I've known since middle school and I wouldn't have gotten to meet my boyfriend, Aaron. They say that everything happens for a reason and I am starting to believe in that theory. Although I can't say that "high school was the best four years of my life"--I know that I have so many bigger and better things ahead of me. There are so many more accomplishments that I want to overcome in my life and I am proud to say that I am on my way to a four-year university in the fall. I can't wait to learn new things, meet new people, and see new parts of the world. And when I finally reach that point in my life where I feel as though I've fully succeeded, I hope that it is all I've ever dreamt about.
