FOMO

So I started reading Mindy Kaling's book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me which is absolutely hilarious. I'm only about 20 pages in and I'm dying of laughter. She discusses FOMO (fear of missing out) and other life problems she knows about first-hand. And I really think I suffer from that because i swear, if I ever hear of something going on, I want to be there, because what if I didn't go and something really thrilling happened?? I would be SO out of the loop!! Seriously though, Mindy is brilliant and her book is just one thing that shows people that. She starts it off with the best introduction that gives a very vague yet funny overview of her book and why she wrote it. And in classic Kaling style, she starts into her book talking about her being a chubby kid.

I honestly wish that I could be as funny as her, the girl has some serious confidence and it is so apparent that she really couldn't care less about whether people think she's funny or not, she thinks she is and that's all that matters...and heck, the book is a New York Times bestseller so people out there definitely think she's really funny. Idk what it is about how she writes, but it makes me think of her actually saying it out loud, like on The Mindy Project, which is also very laughable.

Don't worry though I'll keep you posted on the great advice she gives throughout her book because her words of wisdom seriously could not be more memorable.


FOMO is a serious issue though.....for real.

this is the way i post

So, I've been reading some books lately that make me laugh, and are extremely witty and sarcastic, because who actually reads the books they're assigned in school right? And college textbooks make me nauseous... In the little free time I have when I'm not napping, studying, going on every possible social media, and going out 3 nights a week, I read books that make me laugh my ass off. Of course, I only read snippets because it's normally right before I'm about to fall asleep at some obscene hour after I've procrastinated until 3am. Anyways, read these books if you're a girl in college, you love to have fun, are completely clueless about the male species, are painfully single and you love a good laugh. I'm home now for the summer and already unhealthily bored, so I will be studying up on these good quick reads about how to live your life as a top notch chick and ultimately--Care Less.
1. Nice Is Just A Place In France
I started this because if you haven't been on Betcheslovethis.com, then we are not friends...because these people make my world go round, and make sitting in a lecture much more enjoyable.
2. My Horizontal Life 
I started this because my roommate told me it was hilarious, and oh my, was she right. I just started and I'm already hooked, reading with the iPad dimmed into the wee hours of the night.  

BTW this blog is not titled Care Less because I'm a careless person, because I am not, but because in my last two years of college I have learned to care less. Not about my school work or my grades or my future, but in the way that I do my thing without caring so much about what people think of me. I used to be so caught up with other people's opinions, but I know my strengths, I know my weaknesses, I embrace them and I learn. I care less about what people may or may not be saying about me and I care more about how I see myself and who I surround myself with, which is the most important part of life. 
Anyways, enough with the sentimental stuff, welcome to my blog! (never thought i'd say that...) OH and watch out world because I'm officially an upperclassman.
