Blog Every Day in January Day 3: The Common White Girl Tag

I want to start out by saying that I am writing this entry from my new iPad air that I got for Christmas, and if that doesn't make me a common white girl then I don't know WHAT does.

Anyways, there's this tag that's been circulating around the internet called the "Common White Girl Tag" which is, presumably, for Common White Girls to answer. And obviously, I am not a Common White Girl, but I HAVE been told by a handful of people that they sometimes "forget that I am not white". I'm not sure what that says about me or my friends, but you know what? I have a right to do this tag! COMMON WHITE GIRL IS A STATUS YOU ACHIEVE, NOT SOMETHING YOU ARE BORN INTO.

For bonus points, I will be answering every question with a selfie taken from my new IPad air that I got for Christmas. HOW MUCH MORE COMMON AND WHITE CAN I GET?

1. Favorite Starbucks drink? 

Or a "grasshopper" when it's not winter. You get the idea.

2. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? 

If we're talking shower, hair, AND makeup. In which case we are being very very ambitious. Today I took ten minutes, and my look today says "you're lucky I did the bare minimum of hygiene standards". 

3. How many selfies do you take on a daily basis? 

Lots.

(Taking this selfie was intense and I had a brief existential crisis. AM I COMMON AND WHITE YET?)

4. How many IG followers and pics do you have? 

5. Do you ever say “LOL” or “OMG” out loud? 

(Yes but I wish the answer was no)

6. Do you wear the same clothing item more than once? 

I don't understand this question. Are you asking me if I like...burn my clothes after wearing them once? Is that what you common white girls do? You only wear every item of clothing in your closet once?? DO YOU REALIZE HOW WASTEFUL THAT IS. CHECK YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE.

Oh wait are you asking me if I wear clothes more than once before washing them? Yes, if they aren't dirty. Jeez why didn't you just say so.

7. Are you racist? 

No look I'm eating very ethnic cuisine, obviously I am not racist.

8. How many tweets do you have? 

9. Instagram, Twitter, or Tumblr? 

I'm not gonna lie, my tweets are HILARIOUS. I should be twitter famous. Except for the part where my account is private. Well...fame is relative.


10. What do you spend most of your time doing? 

Sums it up.
 
11. Who are your favorite YouTubers? 

*ding* The artist formerly known as dailygrace aka Grace Helbig 

And

The vlogbrothers! Yes, my fingers are double jointed. Get over it.

Those are my top two, but there's more than just those. I can't be takin' selfies all day JEEZ.

12. How often do you do your nails? 

Not often

13. Are you a shopaholic? 

What

14. How many times have you watched Mean Girls? 

I'm a mouse...duh.

(Lots)

15. Do you own a lot of clothes? 

 Who, me?

(Yes.)

16. Do you take pictures of your food before you eat it? 

Why would anyone ever do that.

17. Do you wear makeup everyday? 

Obviously not

18. What are your average grades in school? 

GOOD ENOUGH.


19. How do you usually style your hair? 

 Is "hot mess" an official hairstyle?

20. Do you always look presentable? 

U b the judge

So what's the verdict? Am I a common white girl??? Let me know!

Blog Every Day in July: Day 8, Arts and Crapfts

Let me talk a little bit about my summer job.

Fingerprint flower petals, aka not our best idea.
Don't give little kids markers. Just don't.

I work for my brother in law, Matt, who works for the Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey.  In the summer, he has to go out and run all these programs with various other summer camps in order to increase their participation numbers.  I help him with his programs, and one of the camps we work with has an agreement that the Girl Scouts (...me and Matt and our other coworker Natasha) will come three times a week and teach arts and crafts.

Our first craft was name tags.  Mine was about my interests,
and Matt's was about...um...the Revolutionary War?

I teach arts and crafts.

This is actually from two summers ago, when I did the
same program.  Clearly I haven't improved much.

I'm not good

Ummmmmm

at arts and crafts.

UMMMMMM.

Arts and crapfts.

My main issue with Pinterest...

So I spend a lot of time on Pinterest (...I mean....did you SEE the post about Pintersession???), and for the most part I think it's a great place to go to for inspiration.

But sometimes this happens...

This popped up on my Pinterest a few days ago, and when I saw it I was like WTF IS THAT SQUIRT GUN THING.  So I read little blurb underneath the picture...

Which makes no mention of having any kind of fancy tool sooo that's weird.  So I clicked the picture to see if maybe the original source mentioned it, which led me to....

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING

....how to fold a fitted sheet......

I...

well...

.....

........

Well...at least I know how to fold a fitted sheet now?

I know it's been a while, and I had been meaning to post an update about my January resolutions and make some new February ones, but some stuff came up and it just didn't happen.  As it turns out, I have like a crazy busy week coming up so I probably won't get to post again until like two weeks from now. But I didn't want to leave this little blog neglected, so I hope that y'all enjoyed this mini post.
