- 1,000 Awesome Things
It's a blog counting down the 1,000 awesome things. It's currently only on #715, so there's a couple more years out of this. But it's amazing. It's almost like these writers got inside my own head and guessed all of the little things in life that I love. Some gems include
#724 Placing the last piece of the puzzle
#999 That last crumby triangle in a bag of potato chips
#876 Taking your bra off after wearing it for hours
Those might not be awesome to you but I promise that there will be something that you love. - Blackboard-UNC
I'm not going to link this one. But it's my school's blackboard site, that's all. Where I go to look at my class syllabus during the year or print out my notes or print out my homework - Cake Wrecks
Have you seen this yet? It is amaaaazing. Plus the people who write this are hilarious times a million. The blog features pictures sent in of professionally made cakes that look like craaaaaaap. Either because the design was made badly or especially for awful spelling or handwriting. Just check it out. I can not caption these like they can. - Calorie Count
Kind of self explanatory. I sort of keep really good track of what I eat lately. And this website is amaaaazing. It has easy to use tools and also has things like a recipe analyzer and you can submit your own foods and use them time and time again. I also really love the forums and such. If you're interested in things like that than please at least try this website. - Chictopia
A site where users submit pictures of their outfits or even their inspirations. I love seeing what people have put together and even have gotten good ideas from it. I'm new to it but I really like it so far. - Dispatches from the Island
So I'm sure anyone reading is at least familar with the show Lost. Well one of it's stars Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley/Hugo has a blog. I love it because it's sort of photo-centric. I love his little pictures from his life and his travels. He seems just as sweet as his character. - Dumb Little Man
A blog with advice on living a better life. A lot of it is common sense but there are quite a few little things that are awesome to see and are designed to make life easier and simpler. - Facebook
I'm sure you know what this is. And you're probably on it. But I like having a quick little bookmark to get to it quickly. - The Frisky
A delightful little website that has all sorts of awesome little articles about frivilous things like fashion, celebs, interesting things. I mostly like it because it's entertaining and it updates often. It's a guilty pleasure to tell you the truth. - Gary: Landlord of the Flies
Please read this (FROM THE BEGINNING!) to read the most hilarious account of a guy dealing with a crazy redneck landlord
Okay first I'm going to have to break to explain something:
So I'm not Muslim and really have no plans to become one. I do really respect the religion though. But as an Arabic major I do plan to study abroad in the Middle East at some point. I plan on wearing hijab while I'm there. But when I started looking at hijab style blogs i found three hijab style blogs and found that I really enjoyed their writers. So I still have the blogs bookmarked today. Okay back to my explanations
- Hijab Style
This is an excellent hijab style blog written by a Muslimah in England. It has excellent editorials from papers around the world. Also runway inspirations and Muslimah Style pictures sent in by readers. - Gives Me Hope
Well for those familar with FMyLife there's now a version for optimists. It has heart warming stories that really do give you hope. I love it - Instructables
So this site has step by step instructions on how to do almost anything you could possibly want to know how to do. They're submitted by users and it's awesome. They have things like crafts, recipes, home decorations, tons of awesome stuff. - Modblog
This one is definitely not for everyone. It has pictures of body modifications. Everything from tattoos to piercings. Also scarification and suspensions (not a big fan of those by the way) as well. But it's just nice to see the beautiful tattoos that they show on the site but also some of the piercing projects. Beautiful pictures of gorgeous alternative folks. What more could you want? (If you're into that sort of thing of course...) - My Boss is Michael Scott
This site is hilarious. Stories that really do sound exactly like the show the Office. Worth a look. Wish it updated more often. - Neatorama
I've been looking at this website everyday for several years. It updates often and posts truly neat news. - Nubby Twiglet
I like this blog because it's interesting to read the posts this blogger writes about. She's a graphic designer with great fashion and she always posts visually appealing pictures and posts. - Twilight Saga Daily Dose
So this is the most embarassing one. But for the purposes of full disclosure I'm going to be honest. I'm a Twilight fan. Pretty hard in fact. But this site just has little Twilight updates about New Moon and the stars and yeah. Embarassing. Thank you in advance for not making fun of me - Slice of Lemon
My second Muslimah blog. This blogger is such a lovely, smart, funny lady. She blogs about hijabi fashion as well as just small happenings in her life in DC and now LA. I can't get enough of her stories. - Style Rookie
This fashion blog is done by a style conscious 13 year old. She has just about the most unique sense of style I've ever seen, especially with someone so young. That's why it's just so fabulous. She also talks about other little things in her life. Plus she's so funny as well. - Surviving the World
This guy writes advice and just funny little quips and observances about life. All on a chalkboard. So it's almost like a live action web comic. - Journal Promps Library
I sometimes just like to have verbal diarrhea. So I just write whatever comes to mind. Sometimes this helps me with that. Just a ton of thought provoking journal prompts. - Obameter
So I'm a liberal, but I still really enjoy this website that's tracking Obama's progress on issues and promises he made during his campaign. Keeping politicians honest is always a good thing. - The State of Virginia
So I'm not going to link this one either because I'm sure it'd embarass my friend Virginia if strangers were being lead to it to read it. But she's one of my best friends at school and she was in Southeast Asia all summer so it was interesting to read about her travels. I hope she continues during the school year. - UNC-Chapel Hill Secrets Project
This site is awesome. It's secrets anonymously submitted and posted of UNC Student's secrets. I love reading them and thinking about the fact that I could have class with the kids that write these or pass them on campus. It's amazing to know people's secrets - Trailer Addict
I love watching movie trailers. So this site is amazing. It updates pretty often and it also posts the little TV spots and extras from all over. - Hegab-Rehab
My third hijab blog. Written by a hilarious Australian blogger. She's a Muslimah convert/revert. She posts all sorts of modern hijabi outfits, including ones with abayas, proving that they don't just have to be gigantic black capes. Although they can be if you want yours to be so :)
Also on this link are the links to her other blog and her novel in progress. The other blog is called "Mama I Married a Masri" about non-style related parts of her life. Also you can get a link to her book, Jacaranda Secret, she's working on and posting parts online. It's amazing.
So now you can see a glimpse at my online life.
