I feel like the only person who is not…
- Getting married
- Having a baby
- Going to grad school
- Buying a house
…within the next 6 months. Shout out to my other mid 20-somethings appreciating life one phase at a time. What’s the rush? We’ve only got another 60 years left *knocks on wood*.
On Thursday, April 25th, diners across the Washington metro region will join hundreds of thousands of others from across North America to stand up against HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses by sitting down at restaurants participating in this year’s Dining Out for…
Today isn’t the nicest day, it’s actually pretty drab here in Reston, but it’s the first Friday in a while where I’ve felt optimistic, especially about the future. I don’t know if everything is going to work out according to plan. That’s hard to think about, but I’m starting to remember that nothing is permanent unless you want it to be. Being proactive is key. For a minute I thought that I was going to be stuck in the same mindset on repeat indefinitely. That’s never going to be the case though.
A few weeks ago I was surfing around on Tumblr and discovered Brooklyn Brainery. I thought the classes offered sounded amazing. I instantly wondered if there was something comparable in DC. There is! Knowledge Commons offers free 1 day classes on everything from event planning to sausage making. Cool concept. Check them out and let me know how it goes!
A wise man once said “You only live once, that’s the motto, ni**a Yolo”. JK it was just Drake (the kid in the wheelchair from Degrassi), but I’m starting to think that he and all of those Frankie Goes to Hollywood style shirts are on to something. Life is too damn short. TOO SHORT. I’ve come back from every trial that I’ve been faced with and so have you. It may have taken some time, but sooner or later shit was straight.
Think about it. We’re going to fall flat on our faces another 30+ times so what is the point of all of the nail biting and sleep deprivation. This isn’t the same as no regrets, but just live in the moment. The next time someone pisses you off at work, screw em. What were they doing at our age? The same thing or something worse? Things didn’t work out with that guy. Do you know how many men there are in this city? Just go meet people, even if you think that there couldn’t possibly be anything out there for you.
Yolo all day. Everyday*
*Whenever possible. Try not to get arrested.
Something to cheer you up on this rainy Monday!
Ready for summer spring! Floral top c/o Macy’s and navy blue pencil skirt-BCBG :)
Washington DC has one of the country’s most vibrant food truck communities, so it’s sad that Mayor Vincent Gray has proposed legislation that would severely restrict the ability of those mobile vendors to serve you.
The new regulations would create a monthly lottery for the most popular locations, and would ban other food trucks from serving within 500 feet of those lottery-designated spaces. We at The Bad Deal believe food trucks work best when food trucks, not the government, can decide on a minute-to-minute basis, where the highest consumer demand for their particular product is.
Make no mistake, this is about brick-and-mortar restaurants attempting to restrict competition from their cheaper and more mobile counterparts.
Come on. This is the very reason why DC is behind on my good eats list. Not every quality meal should cost $15+.
