First Years Always Get The Worse of It

So today was class registration and it's a very frustrating process as a first year even when I factor in the fact that in January we will have drop/add. It's so annoying. Ugh. We always get the bottom of the damn totem pole when it comes to registration. We're shitty, non-interesting classes at times that we'd rather die than get up that early. Ugh. Then budget cuts don't make it any better. My schedule isn't too bad and I don't have to get up too early but it ain't (yes I said 'ain't') my ideal schedule. >=[

This cartoon describes it best:

The Shoes That Got Away

Before this year I never really cared about my clothes; as long as they were clean and sort of stylish plus fit me well that's all that mattered and then all of a sudden I began to take an interest in clothes.

I always hated straight leg jeans and now that I have one pair I fear I'll wear them out. Lol.
Not to mention I almost had a heart attack when I thought I'd mistakenly bleached them.

Anyways the post is about this pair of Tom's Shoes I'd been dying to have called the Remarque Toms with the quote "Make Art, Not War" on them. I've been waiting for about one month and a half to get these shoes because they were sold out in my size but as it turns out it was a seasonal style and now that they're gone, they're gone.
A little piece of me died when I saw that.
-sigh- Oh well.
Here's a picture for old times sake anyways. I envy those who got a pair.

I have to admit that I was a little late to the Toms game though, I didn't really take notice of them until about June-ish when this girl told me about the movement behind them and I've been down ever since. I just haven't felt the need to have a pair until I saw the Remarque's.
Because I couldn't get those I will probably go for either the Barletta Cordones or the Cortazar Cordones, we shall see very soon. Only thing that concerns me is the fact that I'm ordering online and I'm not too sure of the fit/feel and I don't want to get something out the way. Ya feel me?


Anyways I'm really into beanies too and now that winters coming in I'm looking at a few I might get. There's this Hurley one I'm definitely getting (shown to the right) and I saw a Quicksilver one I might cop as well but I'll have to see. I'm also in love with visor beanies and I own a black Tarheel one, a black Jack Daniels one, and a gray Halo 3 one. We'll see if my collection will grow anymore.

Also I'm a pretty casual dresser when it comes to clothes so I prefer tee's and collared shirts (i.e. polo's) but now I notice I'm shifting to tee's more and more simply because they're a lot more free, a lot less restricting. I saw a few shirts in PacSun and Hot Topic worth picking up and I even got a few online exclusives on the way right now. I really like this O'Neill one (shown to the left) but I think it looks too much like the other one I already ordered.  Volcom makes some really good tee's as well. Yes this is men's, I prefer men's tees over womens.

Lastly I'm feinding for a digital watch one, specifically a G Shock. This one is so hot, it's not colorful or anything, it's black (mostly 'cause I'm a simple kind of gal when it comes to clothing/accessories) anyways it's about $350 (so I won't be getting it any time soon). The official model number is "G7710-1". Or there's this atomic one I'm totally down for too called the "GW700BRJ-1A". It's highlighted in rose gold yo.





There are some jackets I'd like to cop too, I want a hoodie, a Northface, and a peacoat. I could go into specific details but jackets/coats are just something I DON'T buy on style alone because their ability to keep me warm, how they fit, and their overall ability to match anything matters to me too.


Now that you got a little taste of my style let me know wassup wit yo closet.

The Past Week in Review and a Preview of the Upcoming week.

Last week was an extremely busy week so I'll let you know how things went with the exception of Halloween (which was so shitty it deserved it's own separate post!). Anyways I'll start off with Thursday because the rest of the week I was just busy with work and school and I don't want to bore you with that crap. Thursday, the 29th I attended my first drag show at Carolina which was effin' awesome! It was epic, I truly enjoyed it, like words can't describe it you just have to experience it. Hear are a few pictures from the event:

Yes I understand the pictures kind of suck but I'm no professional photographer and it was hard to catch them in still moment since they were performing. All in all it was a great show. (I have a lot more photos but that's quite enough).





Then that night I went to the club, my first time going in CH and it was quite an enjoyable experience plus I didn't have to get up until 11am on Friday so I was very well rested. Overall Thursday was an excellent day!

Onto Friday which was another experience. The day was basically like any other until I went to the ZTA pig pickin' which had some of the best BBQ I'd had in a while. It successfully reminded me of Family Reunion and how excited I am for next year. After that I went to the Pauper Players play named "Wild Party" which I thought was really good especially for an all-student ran organization. The plot was a LITTLE thin but the acting made up for it so I was okay. I made like 10 new friends that night and went to watch "Rocky Picture Horror Show" for the first time which I thought was pretty funny. My favorite song is the "Time Warp". Haha.

Saturday got a blog of it's own.



Sunday I didn't do much except go see Fabolous at the homecoming concert and I thought he gave us a great show. I'm not a Fabo afficianado but I'm pretty fluent in his music and I especially liked his last album. I liked the show and even though I wasn't supposed to I got a photo of him and here it is. This was taken during his last song which was "Throw It In the Bag [Remix]".






A Week In Preview:
Well this week is homecoming and I know for certain I'll be going to the exhibition basketball game on Friday and some party Friday night. Saturday I'll likely either go participate in the parade with GLBTSA or go watch the parade on Franklin. Then I'll be at the football game to watch us "level the devils!" Anything after that is up for grabs. Sunday I'm going to go see former UNC student Anoop Desai. All week long I'll participate in pit events thrown by the school if I have time. Then onto another school week.

On Halloween It Sucks to Be a Tarheel

Like seriously yo, Halloween on the hill sucked major.
Shutting down Franklin Street to run up and down it looking at costumes gets old after like 5 seconds.
It's also lame because there are 10 and 12 year olds out there being annoying. Plus grown ass adults bring their 5 and 6 year olds like they don't have any common sense either.
And if that's not bad enough there are freakin' pervs in front of every window and on every corner standing there with their cameras waiting for girls to walk by in their "slutty" outfits. I even saw one guy trying to take a picture up a girls dress.
Quite disgusting.
The only way Franklin Street is fun on Halloween is if you pre-game because honestly when you're wasted what isn't funny?
If that's not the worst of it the stupid frat parties were exclusive as hell because you either had to have a wristband or be on the list. How lame is that? If you don't want outsiders coming in just have them show their onecard douche.

What's so bad about that is that here, at UNC, we all know that the likelihood of you getting onto one of those lists or getting a wristband without being Caucasian is extremely slim. Point blank.
This is coming from someone who hates when people play the "race card" but I have to say that in this case it's resoundingly true. The diversity exists at UNC but the races are segregated (that's a whole 'nother blog though).
To top it all off the police made me throw my broom (I was Professor McGonagall) in the bushes because it could be considered a weapon. How stupid is that? My effin' cell phone is heavier than that damn broom was!

Overall that night was pretty shitty and I know for certain next year I'll be at someone else's university or at home in Charlotte.
