Vegas, Baby

What is it about Las Vegas that makes people lose their minds, act like they never have before, reach new heights, get wild, hop into limos with strangers, and run around in the most outrageous things you could possibly find, and would only expect to see in Jersey Shore!? Vegas has an aura about it that says, "come as you are, be who you want to be, put up any kind of front, and get as crazy as you possibly can, because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas (unless it's herpes;)!" It is one exquisite city, that's for dang sure. All the shows, people, entertainment, casinos, clubs, bars, pool parties, and heat make it a one of a kind place to go, be, and see.

I think there are a few main reasons why people go to Vegas, and they are as follows:

• You want to escape the (possibly) sad reality of your life. A getaway is what you need to just release everything within and feel free for even just a few days.
• You're bored and have decided, "let's go to Vegas!"
• You are going because EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) is now there. :)
• You've never been and are visiting the United States (or possibly not even visiting from outside the country) and know that of all the cities in the country to see, it is right up there with Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, and the Grand Canyon.

And then my personal favorite and most used reason...
You have been before, therefore realizing that it is one of the greatest places in the world and know you have to go back at least once a year.

And as I mentioned in my last post, I will be leaving for the lovely LV in just a matter of hours. We will be having a triple-threat-bday-bash to celebrate Papa Bear Reeces Pieces birthday, Sassy Sam's 21st (!!!!!), and my birthday! It is going to be quite a joy. We will be attending Bassnectar at the Palms tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited than to be celebrating the big 2-3 with some of my dearest friends, in Las Vegas, while breaking my neck to some Bassneez! Hop on my Twitter and follow me around, I will try to post some pix to take you on the trip with us! :) Enjoy your life and have fun this weekend! Especially if you're in Cali, it's beach weather baby! Get out there and catch some rays!!

For me, the answer to that is simple... Some days I would be 7, some 15, some 21, some 26, some 30, and others about 65. Haha. Varying maturity levels and actions depending on the given situation. :)

Last Call

In a matter of hours I will have completed my undergraduate education here in beautiful Chico, CA. It's a little hard for me to fathom and really process, especially considering the POUNDING headache I'm suffering as a result of last night's festivities. Here in Chico we have a little thing called "buck night" that falls on multiple nights depending on the bar. Wednesday night is the Crazy Horse's night to shine.

And while I did not take advantage of the chance to dominate the bull, I absolutely took advantage of the concept of buck night. All well drinks are $1, doubles are $2. Incredible, right? So yes, now I am suffering and unprepared for the last final of my college career, but I am confident in my grade and know I will pass the class. In life you are faced with choices. To go out and strengthen your relationships, or live in solitude and focus on gaining superficial knowledge. Too often I've chosen to go out instead of study, but one thing I know for sure: when I look back on my life, I don't think of the low grades or missed classes and assignments; I think about the GREAT times that I had with my awesome friends and the memories we created. Those memories will last a lifetime and always bring a smile to my face no matter what the unmemorable consequence might have been. Life lessons are more valuable than lessons received in a classroom, and it's those lessons that I care to learn.


Now it's cram-time (because that's proven to be effective, right? ;)! So ready to finish this final and begin the celebrations once more!
