Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

My friend just said something that made me think. I told her how I wanted to be a magazine editor, and she said that if I were the editor of La'Isha, which is considered the most successful Israeli women's magazine (and by the way, it's BAD, like really awful), I'd be the one announcing the winner of the Miss Israel contest every year. And I thought about it and was like, I'd rather hang myself by the eyelids than announce the winner out of all those fugly bitches they pick out each year.
I hate beauty pageants. Not because I'm some idealist and think it's wrong (unless it's those kiddy beauty pageants, in which case it is horrible and disgusting)...but because, well, most people have a very distorted perception of what is beautiful. I mean, have you SEEN those girls? PLEASE.

( Further proof that Miss Israel is a big effing FAIL )

In other news, as a part of my ~grand magazine research~ I have been reading Cosmopolitan last night. Every time I read that garbage I'm reminded why I hate it so much. How can you have respect for a magazine where all they write about is how to stick your finger up your boyfriend's asshole the right way?
I swear, every time I read Cosmopolitan it pretty much makes me lose faith in the world. And I'm not being dramatic, it seriously makes me feel like we're living the cheapest existence ever. There's no love, there's only manipulation, and sex on third dates (which is not "easy" and still not "teasing", what the hell??), and telling "your guy" to not dare look at other girls, and a bunch of other nasty stuff I don't even wanna MENTION. It's disgusting.
Excuse me for believing there's a little more to relationships than that.

Also you wouldn't believe the difference between russian Glamour and american Glamour. On the outside, they look the same, but on the inside? You can't really put your finger on it...but you FELL there's something wrong with the russian version. The ads are american, the articles are also about international celebrities and everything, so there's not like there are a bunch of ugly russian women with mustaches and bad make-up in it...but you flip through it and it's just less aesthetic. It's weird. I actually felt more comfortable flipping through the american issue.
Weird.

School-wise, I've decided to stick to law school. I mean, it's not like it's the only thing that I'll be studying because I'm getting a degree in communications and journalism simultaneously, so it's fine, I guess. It's just annoying that MOST of my time will be dedicated to law studies and not communications, although both degrees are the same, eventually.
And I mean, with communications you are required to get another degree anyway, because that's just the program, so better pick one that you can actually benefit from later on, right?
And who knows, maybe law studies will sweep me off my feet and I'll never wanna do anything else again. Unlikely, but what do I know about my state of mind in the next 4 years? Anything can happen.
It's good to have all doors open for you to choose from, just in case.
I'm not a big fan of doing something impressive and prestigious just because you have the option, but it does seem like a good idea when you feel as lost as I've been feeling for the past...uh, well, it's been years.

Ugh, I'm so tired. Mom woke me up at 8. You'd think 8 hours of sleep would be enough, but apparently it's not.
