Let's all do the Saturday before Christmas dance. Christmas feels like it came extremely fast this year, I can't believe its on Wednesday. But I got an early present this year, some of my grade FINALLY got posted, and look at me ma! I'm a passing University kid! I've never been one to be proud of marks in school, but apparently paying for it and working my ass off gives me incredible amounts of pride.
Anyway, I've fallen back into my at-home schedule, and I'm actually enjoying it. I've been to busy to actually realize how much I hate this place. I spent last night at a small house party, with some long lost friends, and it was actually a blast. Honestly before I went I heavily considered no showing up, but I dragged my best friend along and we had a lot of fun. Hashtag hangover. I can say for sure I haven't missed the waking up at 5 am feeling like crap after 2 hours of sleep because of alcohol. That's got to be one of the best parts of living in Montreal, drunk food is always just a stumble away, and you feel a 100% better in the morning if you eat a burger before bed. Maybe that's just me?
Since I'm in this feel good state, here's a feel good Song of the Post:

If you haven't listened to these guys before, take a listen. Some seriously great Canadian music here.
Before I go to curl up in my onesie, I want to call attention to, two things that have really resonated with me in the past couple days.
First off, I wanted to write a little something about the death of one of my favourite author's, Ned Vizzini. If you haven't heard what happened, here's a link to an article published yesterday about what happened: http://tinyurl.com/ogwdrw4 . Ned was one of my beloved author's. I can glance to my left side as I sit here and type this and look at his books on my bookshelves. I've always loved to read, and my love of reading has turned into what I've decided to study in University. When I read Ned's It's Kind of a Funny Story, something really stuck with me. Mental health is just as important, if not more important than physical health. Ned wrote the book about his brushes with mental health problem's and his stay in a psych ward. When I found out he had died I was very upset. In all honesty, the death's of authors hit me harder than death's of any other kind of 'celebrity' figure. I hope you rest in peace Ned, this world will miss you very much, and your talent for writing beautiful novels.
My second thing I wanted to discuss was this video I watched about two days ago. I think that modern feminism is something that needs to stop being laughed at and taken more seriously. I'll discuss this video in my next post, if I receive any feed back, but take a peak, you might find something very interesting out.

Okay, so I'm going to leave you now after this obnoxiously long post. I hope you have a wonderful couple of days, if you decided to come back, post a comment below, about anything I've touched on today. Seriously guys I want to hear from you!! As always,
Love, Kate
