Good Morning America!
I try to make this a Sunday newsletter but sometimes you fall asleep watching a new Rebel Wilson movie on Netflix and that’s ok!!! I am currently in my small hometown (hometown hottie vibes), Los Angeles, California. I am not particularly keen on LA, but we all have some sort of disdain about where we’re from.
When you’re home this crazy thing happens where you actually become your 14 year old self. I am absolutely helpless in this town. I have no car, no importance in the ecosystem of LA, so when I’m here I really just loaf about town. I eat approximately 30,000 calories a day and hang out with my high school friends like we never even left. I like New York because there’s always something new and exciting to do and I can get everywhere on my own two feet. However, it was nice to go to Erewhon and not spend a dime but leave with exciting new gluten free groceries.
Currently, I am participating in one of life’s greatest joys — something you cannot do with a roommate. I am lying in bed in just my towel after a perfectly pressured shower. There is truly nothing better!
Today, I am heading to the thrill capital of the world, Six Flags Magic Mountain. I j’adore that place and really theme parks in general (Disney adult vibes!). There’s something to be said about waiting hours to be really anxious as you’re making your way to the top of a roller coaster. I used to go to Six Flags more than any person really should, it was my middle school pastime.
Last time I had the pleasure of going to Six Flags, I was with some family friends visiting from Texas. It was illegally hot, which Six Flags somehow always feels comfortable being. I went into a little store for some air conditioning before going on JetStream, and found a cute little hat. The hat had a picture of a chicken and said “cocky” on it. I immediately purchased it for way more than I should have paid and put it on my head.
Then, I got in line for JetStream and entered the water ride. It was a pleasant trip, until the drop. DUNDUNDUNDUN. As we dropped, this hat flew off of my head and into the abyss. I never got it back. I never forgot about that hat, but it kind of lived in the back of my mind. Weeks later, I was in Mexico on a family vacation. I walked on this little street with tacos and drug stores with crazy drugs for crazy prices, and I walked into this little bodega. There, I saw the same hat I had lost at Six Flags, but this time it said “cock,” so I bought it.
This story proves that the important things will always find their way back to you. As I am sitting here, naked except for a towel, I think about how lucky I am to come home to my gorgeous high school friends (not in a peaked in high school way) and my lovely family. I live my life of independence in New York with my amazing friends there, but ultimately I know that I have my little group of friends to come home to.
My friends actually picked me up from the airport. If you’re not from LA, you must know that acquiring someone from LAX is the greatest sign of love a person can give. We then went to In-n-out and of course saw the dad from 19 Kids and Counting. There is never any mundanity in my life, somewhat because I live in New York City, but mostly because of the people I surround myself with.
In honor of finals being over, here’s some poetry I wrote during that hell of a week!
Poem I wrote while sitting in class for the one class I should be paying attention to I wasn’t on my phone For once And I actually spoke to a person Isn’t it crazy to just talk And that’s entertaining School is almost over And that should be illegal Because there’s still so much to do I am in a sleepless hell Known as NYU And I think I could maybe fall in love But if someone pretends like they care about me Even for just a minute I plan my whole life with them It’s a disease Called being a girl Clout Goggles in 2022 Saw somebody wearing clout goggles at the nyu library How are you not embarrassed? I sure hope he doesn’t get harassed Where does one even buy clout goggles? I feel so sad for this poor kid He doesn’t know any better But maybe he sees life in a new way through the clout goggles Maybe for him, it’s 2018 Pre-pandemic Before everything was obscene I am jealous of this kid in the clout goggles! We should all be more like him.
Goodbye newsletter girls, see you next week!
