Sometimes more than one challenge is healthy...

Given that one of my favorite people on here and in life, Richie :), posted my challenge, I decided to post hers. It's very similar to my other challenge only this challenge involves pictures rather than writing. I'll start this the same time I start my other one and I will post them at the same time. If I start to fumble, I know Richie will kick my ass to get on it!

How to survive when campus is a giant mud puddle...

My fellow Terps, we all know how campus gets when any sort of precipitation falls from the sky. It more or less turns into one giant mud puddle that you have to trek through to get around anywhere. So I've come up with 10 ways to avoid the mess or make use of it. And (hopefully..but sometimes mud is fun) remain mud free But as Pig-Pen says, "dirt don't hurt." STFU, Pig-Pen. Unless used to helps my complexion, mud is gross.

1. Buy really ugly, obnoxious rainboots. --- You know you've thought about it! Buying those really ugly but apparently extremely useful rainboots. Coming in a wide array of colors, you can have your choice of bright purple with pink polka-dots (hello, girl in front of me) or plain black. These over-zealous boots make it seem as if you're trekking through a tsunami. So on the days you decide to break out these bad boys, just know your feet will thank you (but they won't thank you if you don't wear socks. Gross.)

2. Buy a canoe / kayak / rowboat --- When it's really wet on campus and you just cannot bear to ruin your ugly boots, buy some form of floating transportation. You think I jest! Seriously, can you imagine if you saw someone with a row-boat on campus? You'd laugh your ass off, look down and see your muddy feet, and ask for a ride. I suggest going for the rowboat simply because it seems the easiest to get around in. Buy a double and charge for rides!

3.  Try to convince your teacher to cancel class --- Yes, I've done this. And don't judge me. Campus is disgusting when it's wet. It didn't work, in case you're wondering.

4. Take a mudbath! --- I've always wondered what it's like to take a mud bath ever since I saw it on T.V. It seems pretty enjoyable. Soaking in a bath filled with lovely mud? Nom! So strip in the middle of campus (don't act like that hasn't happened and make sure people are watching) and hop in a puddle! And enjoy!

5. (while we're at it...) Mud-Mask! --- Much like the mud bath, slap some of that fresh mud onto your face and call it a day. Sit back, relax, and let your pores fill with that muddy goodness.

6. Have a gentleman lay down his coat for you...several times --- who says chivalry is dead? Not me! I think if you could get a gentleman (or numerous given the extent of the mud on campus) to drop his jacket down to avoid one of those puddles, you'll be fine.

7. Learn how to fly or teleport --- Life would truly be easier if we could fly. Or teleport. Or both.

8. Build a portable moat --- A moat is incredibly useful when it comes to crossing gross things like mud. So grab your friends and get building!

9. Connect with your inner child --- Look at the mud puddle as your inner child. Then jump in it. You heard me! JUMP INTO THAT BABY AND YELL! Now, didn't that feel good?

10. Just don't go --- Who wants to go to school anyway?

Be careful out there, Terps! And if all else fails, follow one of my 10 suggestions and you'll make it out alive!

Finally...

I've always wanted to start a blog, but never did. I usually have a ton of shit floating around in my head that I should probably write down but never do.

So, here I am.

I actually created this account months ago with the hope of posting tutorials on how to do makeup looks, but never got around to it. And that was months ago.

 That's another thing, I love doing makeup. I love everything about makeup. I think it's kind of like being an artist but on a face. You create beautiful (and sometimes disastrous) looks and it's always fun. So along with my ramblings and rants, I'm going to post things like that to.

And maybe, if my best friend makes me grow some balls, I'll post the numerous videos I have of myself covering a wide array of acoustic songs by different artists from Taylor Swift to Neon Trees.

Poem of the Day

"i like my body" 

by e.e. cummings

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you quite so new.
