It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.

I am back from Spring Break! And I can say I had a really good time.. I am having the official after vacation sadness! The weather was rainy most of the days I was there. But I didn't let rain get me down. The first day I was there we ate at a really yummy burger, diner place and just hung out. The second day I spent some time walking around since I had some time to myself. We walked around Telegraph and went up to Strawberry Hill which is this really cool overlook over the bay area! It took my breathe away. Made my ears pop driving up to it, but it was a super quick trip down! I ate some fresh Mexican food which was super fun! Met Zach's brother and some of his friends.. they were all really cool and fun. Acted like I knew them forever! Over all it was an great time and experience. It was really amazing! Berkeley is DEF an awesome place! I miss being there, but I miss being with one of my closest friends as well. I guess if I wasn't sad then it wouldn't have been a good trip! I will have to go back soon. Alas, there is time to get back to the real world. I will just have to save up to go back! Cali is such a different way of life. Everyone is more laid back and it made me want to move there.. Here are some of the highlights!

This is Zach's Apartment/House thing. I saw house because it was like separate entrance way and everything, but it was connected to other buildings just like it. It was very cute and super nice. :) That bush is a lemon bush with real lemons growing on it. Zach thought the unripe lemons were limes. lol! 

This is Strawberry Hill. It was really cool because we got to see the WHOLE Bay area. You can see Berkeley and Oakland and if you look closely you can see San Fran. Along with the Golden Gate Bridge. I was told that no one uses that bridge anymore though. It is just for looks, still workable but no one takes it.

Your ears pop when you drive up the mountain. This picture really doesn't show it justice. It was one of those feelings you get when you realize the world is so big but feels so small at the same time! I really thought it was super cool!!!!! One of my favorite places I saw. Def. would go there a lot if I moved there.

Here is Strawberry Hill at night! It took my breathe away and really made me think about life in general. I wanted to talk all deep, but it wasn't happening. lol! 

This is the road leading to campus. It is like the main drag in Berkeley. I had some pizza on this road, as well as where I did some of my souvenir shopping. Very cool stores and lots of people on it at all times. It leads right to campus, one way of course.

This was a tree on my walk through campus. Just thought the flowers were pretty. THE WHOLE CAMPUS IS BEAUTIFUL! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go there!

Really pretty campus buildings. Their buildings are all old looking, but really neat and pretty. Some of them look the same while others look different.

Some more buildings.

I wish I knew their names, just really pretty.

And some more.

This was looking at campus from the Student Union area.

This was looking back toward Telegraph. The start of campus.

This bridge was really cool looking, it brought you to the buildings I took picture of above. I don't remember what it was called but it was that gate into campus.

This is the up close picture of the gate. Really cool.

Some crazy performers. They were chanting/singing in a different language and dancing around while playing their violins. Everyone was all around them. I honestly was cracking up and really was a little scared!

A different shot. They had bells on their ankles and were dressed crazy! She painted her face white so she looked more white. Typical Berkeley? lmao!

Zach wanted me to dye his Mohawk red. I went and got the dye while he was at practice. I got the best Rhianna red, but we first had to bleach it. This is the before shot!

This picture is the one I took after I bleached his hair. It was a really cool golden color. Would have been cool if he was in Football Season since his colors are blue and gold. The fact makes the picture. We had to leave the bleach in for a long long time, by this point I think he was falling asleep!

This is the after red part. PRETTY COOL!! I liked it alot. It is really red. I think it came out nice. I did a good job if I do say so myself. I think I did perfect. I was surprised how red red it turned out. I was hoping it would though! I am such an awesome friend lol!!

This was like the last day I was there. Rainy, but fun. He was really tired. And I was tired after I got back. Figured it was a good picture to end with. That was a wrap. Over all a really awesome spring break! I want to go back! It was soooooo nice to spend time with someone I truly care about and is one of my closest friends! I will have to save up to go back soon for sure!

That was my trip! Very fun and nice! It was low key, but perfect. I got to spend time with one of my favorite person. And saw some awesome things. Berkeley is a pretty campus.. even in the rain! I am saving to take another trip. Hopefully this time I can get my butt to San Fran! I hope you enjoyed the pictures! :) I am so proud of myself that I took my real trip. Plane ride and all. Memories and an experience I will never forget! <3

Are You Going to San Francisco?

Yes, I am going to Cal.. Tomorrow. I can't believe the time has actually come! I feel like it was an eternity, as well as a short period all put together in one! I am pretty excited, yet I am quite nervous as well. I have never flown by myself.. well I have never flown at all. We will see how I do. (Truthfully I don't even know what a terminal or gate even look like!!!!) I am pretty sure I will turn out okay, as long as I get in the air. I will blog again after my trip! Tell time to slow down for the next week.. I want to be there for a long long time!! SOOOOO PUMPED! Here's to Cal! Goodbye NY, smell ya later.

Being Happy

I guess I should start out with the disclaimer that I am not depressed, nor will be in the near future. Just something I was thinking about..

When asking a lot of people in life what they want to be, many will respond with their biggest dreams, or their ultimate dream job, where they want to live, who they want to turn out to be.. but bottom line is everyone always want to be happy. Hell, some people will come out and tell you that they just want to be happy. Which gets me thinking.. is that particular person unhappy now? 

Not necessarily. There are moments in our lives where we just want to be happy ever after. We, as humans, are always looking for more, for better happiness. In fact, I would like to argue that we could be in complete bliss and if someone asked us what we wanted in life we would still answer to be happy. It's all about being happy in the future because once the person is happy now it has already been established I guess.. proving the future to be scary.

We rely on the stupid fact that once we are on a high there is always that downfall. We are always on the offense which means causes us to respond that we just want to be happy, petrified that somehow we won't end up happy. That no matter how happy we are now, we long for more to make sure that the next step won't end in failure. After all, would we trade the happiness we have now if we knew that eventually we would get sick of that thing making us happy in time and ultimately fall out of happiness? 

My answer is no. I don't think any human would resist their happiness now for fear of what the future is going to drop on them. I guess what I am trying to say is that even if someone did that would be a silly concept, because if we constantly worry abut the happy ever after.. we won't ever appreciate the happy now feeling. That completely bliss that is found in the hot chocolate chip cookies with milk, the feeling of being wrapped in a snuggly blanket, or even the arms of a significant other that who knows what the future holds with them. If we lost all that happiness now, we wouldn't even make it to happy ever after, and after all is happy ever after really what we are worried about. Or is being happy now the thing that we are really striving for?

I want to be happy. What if we said.. I just want to remain happy. Whatever I do, I want to be happy when I get there. Enjoying the happiness along the way. Don't get me wrong. Life is going to have it's moments when you feel sad, but you have to find the happiness even in the dark. Or else you will end up so far from being happy in the end that you won't even know what to look for. So I guess what I am trying to say is strive for the happiness now, after all in the end if you find happiness along the way.. you will find happiness there. 

Sometimes..

Sometimes I think interesting thoughts that some of you may enjoy reading. We shall see how this goes.
