Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk

As my three week hiatus from life draws to a painful and wholly undesirable close, I feel the need to reflect back on a few bad habits and addictions that I've acquired in this time.1. Recycling Outfits: Did you know that if you fall asleep in your clothes, wake up the next morning, and keep wearing the same outfit all day, you totally economize on your laundry? Because I do.2. Caramel Apples: In the past six days, I have consumed eleven of these delicious little beauties.

It has now been a week and a half, and I am still blissfully without any real obligations to fill my schedule. Sure, I have occasional errands, appointments, and periods of time when I spam my resume out across the country, but I generally am very busy doing the following: 1. Nothing. This can be very boring at times, because there are only so many episodes of Grey's Anatomy that you can watch before you just want to scream at Dr. Grey and Dr. McDreamy, "JUST DO IT ALREADY!"
