The Opposite
Ay baybays! Happy weekend!!! Yesterday, after all the studying stress and paper pressure, I was the opposite of hard on myself.
Before all that, though, I awoke at 7am and ate a Janetha-inspired breakfast:
Warm oats with Greek yogurt!
In the bowl: 1/3 C oats made with water, cinnamon and stevia, and 3/4 C Oikos with cinnamon, stevia and peanut butter drizz. Janetha, not only are you fabulous, generous, kind and loving, but you are also a genius. This is so simple, ridiculously delicious and super filling:
I want more.
I had solid class from 9am to 1pm. It entailed workshopping five essays, presenting an evaluation of Wine Spectator, line editing and having a grand time.
Ready for eats, I skipped home and made a bright lunch:
Spinach and hummus wrap with carrots and snap peas.
Lunch closed up shop after I ate two Sun Flour peanut butter shortbread cookies. No picture, but they were exquisite.
In the afternoon and evening, I had Film (capitalized because I’m treating it as a proper noun representing film class) from 3 to 5pm, Film discussion 6 to 7, dinner with Muffin 7 to 8:30 (unpictured mediocre falafel wrap with a chocolate brew!) and a capella practice 8:30 to 10. Then, it was finally time!
My dear health nuts, planners, GPA-obsessers, this is how you can be the opposite of hard on yourself:
-Let loose with your friends and a bar owner:
Banana and bar owner getting down. I was obviously rollin' with laughter.
Bar owner attacking Banana. I'm in my own world in the background.
-Spy fiercely dressed friends and ask them to pose “for the blog”:
Aimz is so ferosh I can't stand it.
-Dance with anyone and everyone:
Don't know them, but I loved their energy.
-Reunite with people from your freshman-year learning community:
Those two on the left may be the two most successful kids from Scripps.
-Observe the backs of tees:
I told him he had either gum or vomit on his jacket. He didn't care at all. Eww!
-Agree with positive messages:
"Buy her a DRANK." Word.
Honeybunnies, I hope you all allow some time this weekend to do whatever your huge heart desires. YOU deserve it!
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? -Mary Oliver
Do it big, boos! Love you so much and am grateful for all of you!
Ciao for now,
Kailey

lauren- Aww thank you! That comment certainly brightened my day.
Whatever is on that jacket is groooossss. lol. Have a great weekend!
This blog always makes me regret that the last thing I ate wasn’t a hummus wrap. Will remedy tonight.
You’re gorgeous. Please be in magazines.
Small, small world –I know Aimee! I lived across the hall from her in Jeff my freshman year
she’s a doll.
Love your eats and your hilarious photos.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
Loveee seeing pictures of bloggers going OUT and getting crazy! Makes me feel like I’m not the only one
woop woop!!! love you so much. way to dance off a hard week…get back to nyc please.
AH! Seriously that bar owner looks exactly like the bar owner of my campus’s most-frequented dance floor. Perhaps they all just look the same?
Haha so fun! I love the “drank” tee
Nothin’ like bar owners to make a night complete! Seriously…imagine being a bar owner in a college town. We were bff with the woman who owned our favorite bar…Le sigh I miss her!
And ewwww at the vomit jacket guy! That is just nasty.
I made those exact Janetha inspired oats this morning too! Although I threw the warm oats in the freezer while I showered to cool them off. It was like eating oatmeal cookie dough for breakfast. Crap now I’m hungry again.
Gurl I used to work in a bar so those shirts are what mine looked like every night when I came home. Gross.
I need to try that janetha inspired breaky soon!
Glad you had a fun night out
Jenna
yay for going out!!! haha looks fun

damn Kailey!!.. you make me miss university REAL bad!
I miss those nights of going out with the girls and just getting wild in the bars. doesn’t happen much anymore.. we’re too old and tired!
Girl your pictures look like you had SO MUCH FUN….must be a blast to party with you girls!! And how is it that you always manage to look so gorgeous?!
Your blog was one of my recommended feeds on Google reader- I’ve been following you for a few days and I have to tell you, I love your blog! You’re so positive! Reading always puts a smile on my face.
Sara- Ahh!!! I’m so happy you’ve found me and you’re hooked! Thanks so much!!!
Dance paawtay at Homegirls blogger sleepover in San Fran this summ… ya hear?!!! Just figured I ought to state the obv. PS: two glorious concoctions to try:
1. whip up a warm batch of oats (whatev combo of flaves, im diggin almondextract+vaniglia and chopped almonds) combine with favorite ice cream (so coconut obvi as of late) So you get this crazy contrast of cold sweetness and warm gooey oatiness. For extra mouth gasms crumble a few amaretti cookies or granola and a baby drizzle of AB with a smidge of sea salt. Heaven. on . earth.
2. am I the only blogger who just barely made the ballsy move to combine the best condom-mints: sabra and ketchup? Cheetahs nevah new what hit em. STUNNA!

I remember the days of going out with home made shirts with messages encouraging randoms to buy me drinks (usually accompanied by a hot pink boa and tiara)..lol. Man, I miss college!
Happy weekend

Love your random pictures.

-Katrina <3

happy friday, girlll
Do you sweeten your coffee with anything? stevia?
ilovecoffee- It depends on the day. Sometimes it’s black, sometimes it’s with a little bit of almond milk and vanilla stevia! So good!
Sooo this is the FIRST TIME EVER I have ever posted on a foodie blog and I def. think it’s way overdue! I love love your blog and I think your eats are DELISH! Tried bananas in oats for the first time ever thanks to you and I actually wake up craving it ha!
I’ve been flirting with the idea of starting my own food blog but between school, work and social time, not sure how to fit it all in (it’s amazing you do so much honestly!).
Anyways, just saying hi!
Lauralee- Hey sweet thang! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment! I say give blogging a whirl when you’re ready–it’s been amazing for my life!
Kailey never a day goes by when your blog has not brightened my day! you are gorgeous inside and out girl! =)

The bar owner…OMG girl. What a perv. Hopefully you escaped that scene, stat.
xoxo
BALLER STATUS! glad you tried, glad you liked. glad you can have oikos in your life. suuper filling. fo sho. your cutesy mustard design caught my eye. mustard is marshall’s fave food. he would adore that squiggle. digging all the dance partay photos out. LOVE the buy her a DRANK shirt. and your cheeks always have the nicest hue. by the way.
i love. love. LOVE your freaking face. i hope we can play sometime in the future.
Ok, I adore your blog!!! Found it through Divalicious, and this blog boy is in LOVE!
Thanks for sharing your life!
tramey- OMG!!! I’m so pumped to have a blog boy reading! THANK YOU!
I freakin’ love your photos! Candids on a night out are one of the best tings about owning a camera (besides taking saweet pics of food). My weekend’s gonna be 75% studying, 25% friends and fam. I’m hopin to switch those ratios up next weekend though. Ah, the life of a college student. I know you know what I mean girlie. This weekend live it up for the both of us!!!!
After a ridiculously fun night and getting back at 5 am, I thoroughly took advantage of my right to have a good time this weekend. As long as you balance it all with enough vegetables and time with homework, I think you should always have an insane night once or twice a week!
Thank you for such a positive post! Love it, and YOU! Mwahhh
I love this! I need to read this like 30 times to remind myself to lighten up! Thanks for the reminder that it’s my life and I can do whatever I want with it.
beautiful words from a beautiful girl – thank you for this reminder, sweetie.. I am my worst critic and I gotsta gotsta cut myself some slack right quick. Love you so much you don’t even knowwww.
Loved the pics. It looked like you were having such a GREAT TIME!!! PS. Stay away from bar owners and guys that look like they have puke on the backs of their shirts. Nothing good ever comes out of either of those scenarios! Have a GREAT weekend girly!
Oats lookin amazinggggggggg! Yup looks like we both got down n crunk this weekend
…yayyyy- work hard, play hard baby 
I’ve never commented before but have been reading your blog forever, decided to lose my comment virginity
Your weekends always sounds so much more fun than mine! Love your blog 
-Jenn
runeatride- Thanks for taking the leap and commenting!! And HUGE thanks for the blog love!
Um, that shirt in the last picture? Genius. Totally recreating it and forcing the bestie to wear it for her upcoming bachelorette party.
Looks like a fun night
