  If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.

  FYI.

  As of 10PM, 12/29/12, I found out that I was accepted into the University of Cambridge. 

  I AM SO EXCITED I CAN’T STOP BEING GIDDY. (And it’s 3 hours later..)

  Now to see about that full ride..otherwise, I’m gonna have to turn you down, Cambridge. 

  Princeton ‘13, Cambridge ‘14, Princeton ‘18. 

  And not a cent paid so far?

  Not bad, Annie, not bad.

  Thankful.

  I’m so blessed to have had the opportunities and experiences i’ve had. 

  Today, when I was at the 2014 WWS orientation for juniors, I realized that I’ve really taken advantage of the Wilson School to grow and cultivate myself and expand my future potential. 

  I spoke for the WWS Student Advisory Committee - but I could’ve also talked about Cape Town study abroad..and SINSI..and a federal internship, abroad no less. 

  Wow. 

  This realization of how I’ve made the most of my experience with the Wilson School (and there’s still so much more to take advantage of! This year I want to focus on the grad students and faculty, writing advising, thesis funding, lecture series…whatever else comes my way!) has put me in such a good mood right now :) 

  About to go to a body pump (I have no clue what it entails..) workout session with some friends..

  I have so much work, but I owe it to my body to keep it healthy and fit!

  It isn’t by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.
