What I'm Geeking Out About This Week - 04/18/14

Hey gang, Here's what I'm geeking out on this week:

I have watched all the nine seasons of this show and when I heard the negative buzz around the finale, I was worried. Having invested so much time and emotional energy on all the characters, I wanted to get above the hype before I sat down and watched the final episode. Unfortunately, I was let down. HIMYM had a simple premise (tell us how Ted meets his children's mother) and it seemed like it just wasted it in the end. The show that seemed to be all about fan service just seemed to serve the interest of the showrunners instead. I just wanted to get my feelings on this show off my chest and in the end, I'm sad to say that the ending to the show cheapens the whole experience now that I know how it ends.

So I recently searched for one of these cute toys for my partner's birthday that was the other day. I bought her a Wonder Woman one and I have gotten several myself either on my own or as gifts. I just love these and I like how they have characters representing all sorts of geekdom. They're awesome desk toys (not to mention cheap) so I recommend them as gifts for yourself or others!

  • Nostalgia

I'm on the precipice of finishing my graduate program (just about a mere month away from graduation to be exact), and this major life moment has me feeling nostalgic for years past. With my future still uncertain, I've been looking fondly to the past to cherish all the memories Rutgers has given me since I've been here. All the friends, the special moments, and the knowledge and experience to start my career. At certain moments it would be nice if things could just stay the same forever but I can confidently say that I am ready and excited to start the next chapter of my life. Stay tuned for big life updates that should be (hopefully) coming very soon!

Thanks for stopping by! Have an amazing weekend, my friends!
