OK so it's day 2 and I almost quit this challenge.

I wish I felt comfortable that my work computer wouldn't be searched for a history (i'm 95% sure it won't be -- besides, I'm just an intern! an UNPAID intern!) because today I spent legit 4 hours at work and i did nada one thing! except talk to the other interns for 4 hours.

But, whatevs.

Important life updates:

#1 - Had my LAST final today so SUMMER CLASSES ARE OFFICIALLY DONE AND I OFFICIALLY AM ON SUMMER VACAY UNTIL AUG 20SOMETHING

#2. Dees nails doe

AKA my current nails.
[one of my FB friends posted that liberals celebrating fourth of july is like atheists celebrating christmas -- I'm offended! I'm VERY liberal & I LOVE THE FOURTH OF JULY!!)

Ok, now, onto day 2 prompt: guilty pleasures. I'm writing this without having read any one else's link up so sorry if I'm offending you off the bat, but I don't get when people say totally innocuous things are guilty pleasures: e.g., watching reality television! reading US weekly and other celebrity tabloids! ... like, maybe I'm just a terrible person, but I DO NOT FEEL GUILTY EVEN A TINY BIT about either of those things. Nor do I feel guilty about spending all day in my pajamas, not doing household chores, not making my bed, drinking wine by myself, etc. Those, to me, are just PLEASURES. Somewhere along the line I feel like pleasures got replaced with "guilty pleasure" . . . just because something makes you feel good doesn't mean it should also make you feel guilty (#puritans).

That being said, I do have a FEW guilty pleasures:

#1. FAST FOOD.

I do feel guilty whenever I eat fast food, but I just love it too much. Chipotle, Chickfila, Wendy's, you name it!

#2. Online shopping

Only because I do it too much and spend too much money and I NEVER (literally, NEVER) send something back even if it doesn't fit because I'm

#3. LAZY

I know I just said you shouldn't feel guilty about something that gives you pleasure . . . like, laziness, but, sometimes I'm just a little too much. But I can't help it feeling lazy just feels too good.

& um, that's literally it.

What are your guilty pleasures?

Happy Canada Day, eh?

As of tomorrow at 1pm, I am OFFICIALLY going to be done with summer classes. WOOhooooo!

I've been really wanting to get back into blogging, so what better way than to join up with this blog-erryday in July. Especially since I will have a lot more time on my hands in a couple days!

So, July 1 is everyone's favorite holiday: Canada Day!! Little known fact, I LOVE Canada Day! 

When I first moved to NYC, I lived in Brooklyn and my roommate was Canadian, and all of her friends were Canadian and we went out to celebrate Canada Day at a concert in Prospect Park and then we ended up in Alphabet City, looking really classy! 

me and some canadians ... yes im drinking out of a paper bag #lowmomentinlife

Plus, I've been to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls like 3 x, so I'm basically an honorary Canadian, right??

I do NOT recommend going to Niagara Falls in Febs, jussss sayin!

But seriously, I have never met a Canadian I didn't like -- the friendliest people, and I recently learned that they're trying to acquire Turks & Caicos as their own Canadian Island and the gov't shot that down. No bueno, guys, no bueno.

But here's some questions that I'm too lazy to google:
- What is the government like? Are there two parties like in the US, basically liberal and conservative?
- Do Canadians really love Tim Horton's as much as the prevalence of restaurants would imply?
- How do Canadians feel about Quebecians? Does Quebec want to be its own country?
- Some (not me!) think of Canada as our dorky neighbor to the North, what do Canadians think of the US? Are we the bullying big brother???
- What colors do you wear to celebrate Canada day??

Why Soccer >>>> all other sports.

Look, it's no secret that I ain't no sports fan. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I straight up don't BELIEVE girls who say they ARE sports fans, that's how totally foreign the concept is to me that someone could enjoy sports. Like, I legitimately believe girls who like sports are just saying that to talk to boys. (#onlysemijoking)

That being said, I love me some national sports that happen every four years. Olympics/World Cup I'm totally down.

I also prefer soccer above all other sports. I like hockey too but the game moves too fast I can't see where that little black puck is 3/4 of the time.

Why Soccer is Da Best:

#1. There are no CONSTANT stops to the games either because of fouls (I'm looking at you, basketball) or because that's just the way it goes (Baseball, Football. . . you're the worst). 

#2. It is easy to follow. There is a huge field and the ball is easy to spot. 

#3. It's like a pretty HUGE deal when they finally score a point. I hear arguments that this is why soccer sucks but I 100% disagree. You keep waiting for that magic moment when the ball finally goes into the net and then it's all "GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

#4. Sorry, but soccer players are just plain HOTTER than all other sports players. It's basically science.

#5. When other sports stars score:

i.e, mean.

When soccer stars score:

i.e., overjoyed / ecstatic / happy tears / sheer happiness

Welp, have I made my case? In any event, will you be watching Thursday's match v. Germany? If you want to get pumped up, may I suggest watching:
