Monday Obsession

Coming to College with hopes that I might find my future husband (haha!), I thought I would become obsessed with my looks and wear my hair down everyday. Well, the exact opposite happened. I've realized that I don't exactly have time for a man in my life, nor do I care to. Sure, it gets lonely being independent, driven, and self sufficient, but I would feel bad leaving my um, lover (?) in the back burner. Any single ladies agree? Or, do I stand alone on this one?

Okay, well what I'm trying to get at is that I've become obsessed with headbands. I use to wear them on occasion, but recently, I become absolutely obsessed. I wear the same one everyday--only because I haven't gone out to buy more--with my hair twisted up in a banana clip. Of course I'll wear my hair down if I have time or feel like it, but a banana clip and headband is how I like to roll, yo.

Ellie loves the headband too!

I finally got around to writing an article for my school newspaper! I wrote on a topic I brushed over on here last week. Here's a preview of what I wrote:

Actually, Just Google Me

...Okay, so there’s no doubt that we are all guilty of once in a while Googling ourselves and seeing what comes up (heck, I did it just about 5 minutes ago). And if by now you’ve notice things you wouldn’t want other people to find out comes up, why haven’t you changed your name?!—Ha, Okay. But on a serious note, does having our name and access to the internet give our future bosses the right to search our names as well? What if an embarrassing picture from our past surfaces along with the name search? Should we, prospective employees and College students, be judged on that? I think we should; the Internet is all about what we put out there, but then again, what about incidents we can't control? Incidents that might have to do with an article incorrectly written about us. Or, something from our past, i.e. once again, embarrassing pictures....

  5. Headbands are an obsession I can't get over, though I usually wear my hair down with the headband around my head flapper-style.

  8. That headband is really cute
    I can never wear them for too long becuase they really hurt my head for some reason!
    And fabric ones slip off becuase I have such soft hair (not that I should be complaining about that really)

  9. Your article is tying into an episode on Boston Legal I watched last night...long story, which I can't be bothered explaining, but I just found the connection cool. Lol.
    Headbands are my absolute obsession right now! Yours is super cute! :)

    p.s. I guess I will have to see Art School Confidential now - I do love Sophia Myles (despite my post about her today, lol) so that helps right? What exactly is it about, I wonder...?

  15. The headband is cute!

    Re: the man. I see two choices really--stay single or find a man who is as independent, driven, and self-sufficient as you are. The latter makes for a great situation actually :)

  19. Love the headband too! I found a site you might like, www.andreasbeau.com, which has an awesome collection of headbands and other hair ornaments.
    This is an obsession I hope I never overcome...headbands rock!

  20. I think googling a possible employee can be helpful, but it is a bit unfair, because there are a lot of things people cannot control and it just seems a lot like invasion of privacy.

  21. I am single and I must admit I did think I would find some great college love...total joke! Guys on my campus are so full of themselves. And, yeah, he would probably be placed on the back burner anyway. When it come to guys, who cares how you wear your hair? I think the headband's cute too. You are super-fab, you know. I am totally flattered you might use the bow-back scarf idea...it doesn't take as much acrobatics as you might think :-)

  22. I googled my name a few times and I found it at a bunch of places I didn't want to be like classmates etc so I had it removed from all those sites now I think my record it pretty clean.
