1. Once Upon a Time.
After finishing Breaking Bad in September, I wanted a show that was more lighthearted and not so realistic and Once Upon a Time was perfect. I binge watched three seasons in the span of less than 10 days and am fully caught up with the ongoing season. Not very healthy, I agree. Especially when you take into consideration the fact that I’m already watching so many other shows. But, eh, whatever! TV shows are an inseparable part of my life now. Anyway, OUaT is absolutely brilliant, has too many hot men for its own good, has some pretty amazing female characters, and is just overall a really well written show. Mary Margaret/Snow White, played by Ginnifer Goodwin, is responsible for me being able to decide on one aspect of my future, even if I'm clueless about everything else-my wardrobe. Her outfits are just so well put together and not super fancy or anything. Simple, but elegant and, well, wardrobe goals: Mary Margaret.
2. Pinterest.
Extraordinarily distracting and addictive, but such fun! Of course, I would join it the week before midterms, but hey, that's how I roll! It's where I'm planning my life, so I've got a board (folder) for my "Future Wardrobe" (warm and cold days!), my "Home Sweet Home", foods that I wouldn't actually mind cooking, an entire board dedicated to "Desserts, mmmmmm", and the list goes on.

3. Food.
I got to eat Indian food after a really long time and it was SO good. Normally I don’t even like Indian food all that much, but eating paneer and kebabs after ten months, ahhhhhh. Also, The Brother visited our parents in India, and Ma sent me a box of Kaju Barfi/KajuKatli, which is this sweet made from cashew nuts that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE and it was heaven. I also went to this place called Peanut Butter & Co., and damnnnn that was some good food. Also incredibly filling. I thought I’d be able to eat a sandwich and dessert. Only barely made it through the sandwich, no room for dessert. Which means I’ll have to go back for dessert sometime, so yay!
4. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I finally went there! And it was beautiful and I didn’t want to leave and I could spend days and days there and never get bored. It was amazing. And it reminded me why I love world history so much. Trying to pick a favourite, well, I can tell you my least favourite was the American history section, mostly because it was just furniture and stuff like that. The section on Ancient Egypt was fascinating. And Arms and Armour is always wonderful. Medieval Europe was pretty amazing too. And Ancient Greece and Rome. Though my feet were in excruciating pain by the end because I’d been walking for close to five hours nonstop, so I couldn’t enjoy Greece and Rome as much. But it was an unforgettable experience.
5. Central Perk!
It was perfect. In fact, I’m going to dedicate an entire post just to that evening. So more on that later.
6. Reconnecting.
One evening I got a call from a number I didn’t know. Normally I don’t answer the phone if I don’t know the number, but I’d been expecting a call from my favourite cousin’s best friend who lives in the States. Only this wasn’t from where I knew she was. But I answered anyway. And it was someone I'd completely forgotten- my dad’s friend’s daughter, whom I hadn’t seen in almost fourteen years. She’s ten years older than me, an absolute sweetheart. My parents loved her; in fact she was my babysitter for a long time when I was little. And she's here! In America! And getting married in November! It was amazing talking to her after so long, and I'm going to the wedding. Very exciting, and almost surreal after all these years to get in touch with her again.
7. Hair Straightener.
I finally bought one! And one morning finally used it. And didn’t burn myself. Looked quite pretty, if I may say so myself.
8. Wentworth Miller.
Another show I started watching (I did say I watch too many shows), is Prison Break. And Wentworth Miller, dayum. The man is beyond unattainable. He’s 42 and gay, but has the face of a fucking angel and while Tom Hiddleston is the one true love of my life and the reason for my existence, Wentworth Miller has a tiny piece of my heart that no one, not even Tom, can lay claim to.
