never-ending rant

I've come to a conclusion tonight. It isnt a nice one or one im proud of but i've come to terms with it. I'm a little reluctant to share with all of you however I just need to get it off of my chest. At school I have no true friends. I have acquaintances, people I see in classes, and my roommates but I have no friends at school like I have at home. Friends I can tell anything to, friends that I actually want to spend quality time with, friends that I don't get annoyed with after five minutes with them. These people I thought were my friends at school cause a scene in public places and embarrass me, they act like they're still two years old and need to be coddled, they don't know how to make decisions on their own or think for themselves. I've gotten to the point tonight where I never want to see these people again. They make me want to cry after spending 5 minutes with them, they pick on me and make feel like I'm a horrible person, on multiple occasions they have told me I am a horrible friend. They are lazy and feel like they are the only ones that have feelings in the entire world and that the world should cater to them. Tonight was the end. They showed up to my apartment unannounced and have been here for the past 2 hours, messing with my stuff, going through my things, and just being downright rude to me. I know I shouldn't have let it get this bad but deep down I thought it wasn't this bad. This may make me sound like a completely horrible, selfish brat of a person but at this point I do not care. Honestly I am tired of having to deal with this and need to get it off my chest but of course my best friend and boy friend are long asleep. Sorry for the never-ending whiney complaining rant. I promise to post something bright and cheery tomorrow morning. Now I feel much better for getting it off my chest and if they would leave I would be completely happy. END RANT

this is your life!

today im kinda feeling in the dumps because i was told not once, not twice but three times in one hour that i was a horrible friend by the same two people. in all honesty im really close friends with the people that told me this but it just hurt and made me realize how much i miss my friends from home and my family. sorry for the little rant but i needed to get it out of my system.

my week in outfits and food

sometimes, i have these really good moments, i wake up with plenty of time to spare before class, im having a good morning, my coffeemaker likes me, its a beautiful day, and i pick out a great outfit. then i get so excited about my outfit and realize i have no one to share with. so i've decided to share them with all of you! :) this week was a little hectic so i didnt get to post them the day i wore them so youre getting them in bulk. and i have to apologize the picture on the right is not what i wore to class, nor do i ever wear leggings to class but somedays you just need to feel comfortable and they were just what i needed.







outfit one on the left, i wore today to class today. the majority of its from target a few years ago. the skirtand tank top are all target and the sweater is from walmart ( it was only $3!!!)
outfit two on the left, after recent discovery that particular white tshirt is my new favorite. it was also a walmart steal, the miley cyrus line really has some cute stuff dont judge me. and the jeans are aeropostale.


do you ever wear a plain white shirt and just feel so fresh, clean and new and ready to take the world on or is that just me? im so happy its almost the weekend and i can spend it holed up reading for classes and writing an analytical essay wooohoo! hope everyone's weekend plans are better then mine :)

experiments in food

this weekend was full of new and experimental recipes. saturday morning my brother and i decided to break out the magic bullet blender i have and make a watermelon vodka concoction with the watermelon from our csa box. trying shots of watermelon and vodka probably isnt something normal people do at 8:30 in the morning but it was fun.


the color of the watermelon was so pretty!
then sunday we had a family dinner at our friends house, theyre basically family and i will refer to them as family from now on. my mom made a delicious dish of roasted eggplant and yellow squash with garlic and onion and then tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on top, soooo delicious in fact there was no time to even take pictures of it but take it from me it was so good!
today i headed back to school and when i got there i had some time to kill before class and decided to experiment a little with lunch instead of heading to the dining hall. i made a sandwich on multigrain pita with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes


it looks nicer then it tasted. i didnt have alot of time so i just put the pita and cheese in the microwave to heat it up a little and attempt to melt the cheese, which did not work at all. and the end resulted in soggy pita that was unappetizing but i ate it anyway.

quote of the week

"Love is not an equation, it is not a contract, and it is not a happy ending. Love is the slate under the chalk, the ground that buildings rise, and the oxygen in the air. It is the place you come back to, no matter where your headed"
— Jodi Picoult

a note to my coffepot

dear coffepot,
i love all the joy you bring me in the morning. when i wake up i get out of bed excited about the wonderfulness you make. you make the days a little brighter and easier to get through. without you i would not be as a happy of a girl as i am with you. however i hate to say it but we have a love/hate relationship. i love the coffee you make, the smell as it wafts through my apartment and the rich taste of coffee as it hits my lips. but i hate (i do not like to use the word hate its to strong of a word but it fits in this situation) and i mean hate, the fact that you take forever to make my coffee. my its my fault, i dont press the button at the right time, i dont put the coffee in right. whatever it is we need to iron out our problems so our relationship is just one of love as it should be, because i love all the things you offer me, coffee, tea, iced tea, hot chocolate.
sincerely your loving owner,
mary kate

new school year

today is the first day of classes, fortunately my lab doesnt start for two weeks and my afternoon class got cancelled. these are my goals for the school year, maybe if i post them for everyone to see i'll be more likely to accomplish them:

- Attend all classes
- Stay on top of work
- Keep room clean
- Get dressed for class everyday (no sweatpants)
- Get good grades
- Make more friends
- Be adventurous
- Try something new everyday
- Be happy
- Stay organized

if the seats in the lecture halls looked like this i might be a little more excited for classes.
