MY TWO BEST FRIENDS

 

Becoming a hippie cat lady to pursue the life of a feline vigilante has never been so appealing. #droppingoutofsocietytoliveinthewildernessasaunicorn

DEFINED BY A NUMBER

So tomorrow is the ACT exam and instead of cramstudyingfreakingout I've started stress baking. As in ohheymyfutureisrapidlyapproachingme but I'm going to go make a cake. I'm literally running out of shelves in my fridge. The struggle is real. 

I can actually feel my childhood dreams of being a rabbit lady resurfacing. It used to be cat lady until I realized that cats really aren't all that fond of me. Which is why I stick to cat .gifs instead. Anywho. 

I feel so anticlimactic about this whole collegefuturegrowingupadult thing right now. Possibly because  I already took the ACT for the first time back in September (October?) so I feel slightly better. Also possibly because I've been watching too many episodes of Suits and Adventure Time and have lost my touch on reality. 

So, um, SOME CHLOE TIPS FOR ACING THE ACT: (← CATCHY SLOGAN RIGHT THERE :'D)

1. Stay hydrated. But not so much that you have to constantly pee
2. Don't get worked up over weird patterns. Unless there's been like 8 A's in a row
3. Don't even think about using the phrase "in conclusion"
4. Try to write an essay against the prompt (ANARCHY)
5. Be nice to yourself. Give yourself that extra pancake or syrup or Fruit Loop in the morning — whatever floats your goat. Remember that the only number you can be defined by is 1 because #yolo. Just kidding. But srs guys. If all else fails, you're always welcome to join me and my future band of tribal rabbit lady hippies

Good luck tomorrow and may the odds ever be in your favor. (:

I think I'm going to go redo the ombré in my hair. totallynottryingtoavoidstressingwut
(also I still have to do that haul post al;kdsjfl)

Love,
Chloe

HOW TO MAKE DONUT CROWNIES

Happy Mardi Gras! 

In honor of (almost) National Pączki Day, Megan and I embarked upon a wondrous adventure yesterday to bake the world's best king's cake. But first, we had to go to Kroger because my house is pretty much absent of all of the basic baking necessities except for instant cake/brownie mix (which totally does count as a baking necessity. But I guess we kinda needed stuff like butter too since butter does not ever exist in the Pan household. [So many potential puns right there.])

Anywho, we got to the store and walked at least a dozen loops around because we are ohsodecisive. Of course, no shopping trip would be complete without free samples. (FREE SAMPLES!) I was so excited to take another food porn picture that I accidentally dropped my chicken sushi upside down into the shopping cart. 

'Twas a dark and sad moment. 

Fortunately, it still turned out okay. LOOK AT THAT FOOD SHININESS IN ALL OF ITS DELICIOUS GLORY. ↓ 

We also kept getting distracted by the giant teddy bears in the Valentine's Day aisle, 

and the super adorbs cards. I ended up buying a set of purrfect kitty sticker valentines. :'D As you can see below, I like to look as dignified and attractive as possible whenever I put pictures of myself onto the interwebz. ↓ 

We were in Kroger for over an hour and eventually spent $3 on rainbow cake mix and frosting. (That was after putting back the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, butter, and other stuff that we originally selected but later decided was unnecessary since rainbow cake mix is the way to go. Plus it's rainbow. RAINBOW.)

ONTO LE BAKING 

LE PLAN:

• 1 rainbow king cake w/rainbow sprinkles and coconut pecan frosting 
• 6 brownie cupcakes
• 1 pan (tehe) of brownies 

The first two were for the Mardi Gras party in French class and the last one was for myself (#noshame). We would've make another cake but we only had one donut-shaped pan . . . Get it? We only had one pan. Because I'm a Pan and I was the only Pan home (technically) and . . . :'D . . . okay I'll stop. BACK TO THE BAKING. 

NOODLES & DOODLES

After I drew this in 6th hour yesterday, I had a serious revelation: if you stick an udder, head, and nubs onto the Earth, it looks like a cow. (*FUTURE BINDER COVER IDEA RIGHT HERE.*) Also, you can't have a farm without a geeraffe. (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9v3x6AmOO1qk9e6go1_400.gif)

Coffee, noodles, calculator, and my extraordinarily poopy notes. OTL 

(Piko is most definitely spelled with a "k".) 

I went on Career Cruising on Monday for the first time in maybe two years. Ahhh, I remember taking the career assessment thingy back during freshman year and having so many mixed feelings about my results — it made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Still not sure how I feel about it now.

The wonderful things that the interwebz has to offer at 3 in the morning.
