Five Really Easy Steps to becoming a N.E.R.D.- International Edition

In this edition I would like to address the traveller's selfie issue. For those of us out there who do not have a husband/boyfriend/personal photographer to run around taking pictures of us as we run around cities looking great, documentation can be tough. 

Thus we resort to the awkward public selfie. 

On the streets of London people don't generally like you anyway, so taking selfies makes it worse. However, there are ways to be stealthy and successful.

Please observe the following steps.

Reach in your oversized bag for your phone.

Slyly act as though you're texting someone; thus bringing the phone relatively close to your face.

You were fortunate enough to get a window seat on the upper deck of the bus. Try out one of those wistful stares out the window.

That one was too dark. Do it again.

And again in the other direction.

One more time because that angle made your face look fat.

Give up fool. Bus Selfies are lame.

Paris

Look at this font. Isn't it adorable?

It's called Parisienne.

Thus proving my point that everything about Paris is perfect. Even their fonts.

I've been on a weird Paris Pinterest kick and have an overwhelming desire to go back! 

I'd been once before when I was about thirteen, but it was on a school trip and I didn't get to explore it nearly as much as it deserves.

Being this far away from London has made me realize how many opportunities I took for granted and you'd better believe that I'll be making the short trip over the channel when I go home.

Just look at it!

And besides here is a picture of what I looked like the first time I visited the fashion capital of the world

SURELY, the universe has to give me a chance to redeem myself.

Mid-Winter Break

Let's be honest, it's not spring in Rexburg yet.

However, for my third and final "spring" break of my undergraduate career, I actually left Rexburg! It was unusually refreshing knowing that I'd have an entire week in which to do nothing. 

Nothing.

Felt Sooooooo Goooooood

Here's how I think it should be done.

First, find a place like this. 

Actually make sure it is this place because no-one else does a Double-Double Protein Style like they do. (bread is overrated).

Then go to a place with Red Rocks. Like this.

Eat things that look like this

I'm serious.

Now make sure the sky looks like this

And repeat.

Soon?
