As a senior in college, I have finally come to the realization that tumblrs make great procrastination tools.

I literally had to leave my boyfriend’s apartment tonight because I’m in so much pain because I think I have a UTI.
So right now I’m sitting in my bathroom on my laptop with like six different pill bottles (cranberry extract! garlic! vitamin c!) around me, chugging water, and there are these dudes messaging me on facebook that KNOW I have a boyfriend and they haven’t talked to me in months and I just want to send them a picture of who I am right now.

Being in love with you. It’s really fucking scary, you know? It’s like, I can’t believe that you’re coming home and you won’t be irritated to find me in your apartment (again!) because don’t I have my own house to go to? My laundry’s been sitting by your table for two days now and you still tell me you want to see me before I leave.
I don’t want to go to work, I don’t want to leave you to go travel, I don’t want to do anything but go on another 30 mile bike ride with you and then have you hold me while our foreheads touch. I worry about new kinds of self-improvement because I am constantly trying to become the girl you’re going to leave me for. I’ve lost ten pounds and I don’t drink as much. I live with my parents but I buy my own food and I’m trying to be some sort of a grown-up. It’s all for you. I’m trying to be perfect in all of the ways I can fix because I know there are some things you don’t know about me and those are things that I can’t fix and I’m hoping that maybe you’ll forgive the fact I haven’t lived my whole life for you. The truth is, I thought I’d surely have to settle for less. So I did. I practiced only being kinda-happy-mostly-sad and settling for less because like, there was no way I was ever going to find someone like you, much less be able to trick them into being with me.
Sometimes it strikes me that “I am so in love with this beautiful boy” and it makes me so happy I could cry.

"No one wishes to be ‘rescued’ with someone else’s beliefs. Remember your task is not to convert anyone to anything, but to help the person in front of you get in touch with his or her own strength, confidence, faith, and spirituality, whatever that might be."

"Look at the kind of people who most object to the childishness and cheapness of celebrity culture. Does one really want to side with such apoplectic and bombastic bores? I should know, I often catch myself being one, and it isn’t pretty. I will defend the absolute value of Mozart over Miley Cyrus, of course I will, but we should be wary of false dichotomies. You do not have to choose between one or the other. You can have both. The human cultural jungle should be as varied and plural as the Amazonian rainforest. We are all richer for biodiversity. We may decide that a puma is worth more to us than a caterpillar, but surely we can agree that the habitat is all the better for being able to sustain each. Monocultures are uninhabitably dull and end as deserts."

"So while I’m here being all confessional, I guess I have a sudden urge to say something that I’ve never really been able to air in public. So, a declaration that I’m a little nervous about but maybe not quite as nervous as my publicist right now, huh Jennifer? But I’m just going to put it out there, right? Loud and proud, right? So I’m going to need your support on this. I am single. Yes I am, I am single. No, I’m kidding — but I mean I’m not really kidding, but I’m kind of kidding. I mean, thank you for the enthusiasm. Can I get a wolf whistle or something?"

"As a black woman and a feminist I listen to the music with a willingness to see past the machismo in order to be clear about what I’m really dealing with. What I hear frightens me. On booming track after booming track, I hear brothers talking about spending each day high as hell on malt liquor and chronic. Don’t sleep. What passes for “40 and a blunt” good times in most of hip-hop is really alcoholism, substance abuse, and chemical dependency. When brothers can talk so cavalierly about killing each other and then reveal that they have no expectation to see their twenty-first birthday, that is straight-up depression masquerading as machismo."

Miley Cyrus - Jolene
Hold up.
Miley Cyrus can… sing…?
I’ve said this a couple times- Miley Cyrus is going to make an album in about 5 years that’s going to blow us all away.
I’d be thrilled with Miley Cyrus making legitimately good music. It’s about time for pop music to stop sucking again. I think that’s how pop music works, it’s cycles though shitty decades and great decades.
