“We are the generation of nostalgia. We grew up in the age of transition. From hand-written letters to electronic mails. From film to digital. We were fascinated by new things, neglecting the way we spend our afternoons. Cupcakes and tea. Play-Doh and Polly Pockets. Young and naive. Technology completely changed the way we waited and we grew up too fast. The simple things in life seems more meaningful now. We grew up in the age of transition and have become the generation of nostalgia.”

home.

Tue, 21 May 2013 00:35:10 -0700

I’m only home for three weeks and I’m appreciating all the little things I didn’t appreciate before: how all the girls sat at the Gregerson’s for hours and just rolled around on the ground and laughed and ate cheesecake, how quiet nighttime is, how I ran into people at lunch and on my run last night, how my sister plays the piano at the most inconvenient times, how I can blast Tallest Man when no one’s home. Oh man, Irvine, I have missed ya.

"When the liberal says “race is a social construct,” he is not being a soft-headed dolt; he is..."

“When the liberal says “race is a social construct,” he is not being a soft-headed dolt; he is speaking an historical truth. We do not go around testing the “Irish race” for intelligence or the “Southern race” for “hot-headedness.” These reasons are social. It is no more legitimate to ask “Is the black race dumber than then white race?” than it is to ask “Is the Jewish race thriftier than the Arab race?””

- Ta-Nehisi Coates, on the idea of race. (via theatlantic)

wrote a paper on social constructs the other week. interesting stuff.

Hi everyone, it’s Erika. Addy didn’t log out on my computer while we were studying...

Hi everyone, it’s Erika. Addy didn’t log out on my computer while we were studying together ooooops. But she’s probably already asleep since those who follow our lovely Addikins on multiple social networks will also know that she fell asleep in the shower earlier and reached all time lows (not the band), thanks twitter!!!! But she (we) have a final tomorrow, in addition to several others throughout the week. So I’m gonna use my hack for good now and say that ya’ll should wish her luck on her finals (especially anthro, she’s kind of screwed for anthro). K THX.

(PS I love/know about the lives of half of you due to Addy and I’s conversations and the fact that half of Northwood came to Berkeley so heyyyy)

“Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.”

- W.B. Yeats, The Song of Wandering Aengus

“We had been shooting so hard for the month previous, and that day we had been shooting for 13 or 14 hours,” Wilson says, “When they called, ‘And that’s a wrap on the television show The Office,’ I just burst into tears. At the same time, I felt relief and exultant joy. I compare it to V-J Day in Times Square, where it was like that photograph of that sailor kissing that girl and hats being thrown in the air. It’s a celebration but it’s also exhausting.”

And I will settle in Pamplona and I’ll provoke the bulls with words.

what are your study tactics?

Sun, 12 May 2013 14:44:42 -0700

Flip through my notebook pages to the beat of any Vampire Weekend song. Drink too many cups of black tea without milk because I ran out. Complain to anyone willing to listen. Complain to anyone not willing to listen. Eat late night. Watch The Office. Meet up with people to “study.” Cry.

But in all seriousness. I don’t have any tactics. I just make sure I have enough natural light and good music. No drugs. Nothing super fancy.
