 What's up, my name is Sonali, welcome to vlogmas day two. I'm daily vlogging until December 25th, so subscribe, turn on your post notifications so you don't miss out on any videos. This morning, I actually ran into some trouble with my blog, so I woke up to a comment saying that my blog wasn't working and I freaked out, and so I literally was up at 5 a.m. trying to call GoDaddy to get it fixed and thankfully they fixed it. I'm pretty sure it like fixed to an old backup and I had just posted my freaking GIF guide blog post and so I had to redo all of it, so yeah, that was not fun. My friend is actually coming to visit me, my best friend from college, she was my roommate for one year in the sorority house. She's actually at grad school in Missouri so she wanted to drive down to Florida because she has so much time off for the holiday. She's passing through Georgia and I was just like, please come visit me, I literally have not seen my college best friends in too freaking long, like obviously because of like the cold COVID thing, we were trying to like plan to meet up and stuff but it just never worked out because the COVID cases just kept getting higher and higher and we're possibly going to go to the mill which is like kind of a small hike. So I was like, okay, not working out this morning and also like, I don't know if I told you guys this but I fell down the wood stairs and so this side of my back is like so sore but I also have been doing arm workouts so I'm hoping it's the arm workouts but I'm pretty sure it's just cause like I fell down the stairs. I have a work call in a few minutes talking about some holiday campaigns. We're going over the final graphic. In yesterday's vlog I shared the graphic that I animated so that's gonna be super exciting just to see everyone's reaction and then after that I'm gonna eat a quick breakfast, my chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that are kind of healthy, they're like kind of vegan I guess so those actually keep me really full so I'm gonna go hop on my work call and I'll talk to you guys later. Okay, actually I wanted to show you guys my hair first before I go. This is what it looks like after sleeping on it I kind of just put it in a bun but it looks so good. I remember I went to dry bar once and the blowout literally fell like that day but this is like me sleeping on my hair and it's still pretty like, you know, like voluminous and like has that blowout look. I did my first impressions of the Dyson Air App in my vlog yesterday so if you guys wanna check it out I'll link it down below. I don't know where the time went but it is 12 30 or no, it's like one, it's one 30. What the frick? The holiday campaign call went well I had to actually make another animated graphic but this one was easier and like they're both really easy so it was actually really fun to do but now I'm starving and I have not bought groceries since I've been here and my dad doesn't really have anything because he's still at the beach house so I found this in his pantry but then I'm gonna try it it's just spicy food noodles so I don't know, I hope it's not too spicy because I don't like love spicy stuff, not super spicy so I mean like the spice that has flavor I like but sometimes when my dad makes Indian food and he makes it so spicy it just like does not even taste like anything but like something that's like poison, you know what I mean? Or like it doesn't even have a taste but it's just like, you know it's gonna like burn your butthole later. Hopefully this one does not do that to me because I'm not trying to feel that way. Let's go find a bowl because I usually just put it in the microwave but maybe I should do it in the pot but I don't really wanna do it in the pot so maybe they'll have a bigger bowl. All right, I'm gonna do a taste test. Hopefully I don't burn my tongue. Pretty good. I feel like the spice hits you a little after but it's not that spicy it's like a good spicy. It's really good actually. I think it needs like salt though but maybe I'm just crazy cause I just love salt. I feel like there's two types of people like the one that pours salt on anything and then the one that just looks at the person that does that and they're like, are you crazy? Because Ryan always does that to me. He's like, are you okay? Like you do not need that much salt. I'm like, yeah I do. It's just something I need. Guess who's here? College, this is Charlotte. We were roommates our junior year when we lived in our sorority house. Really it feels like it felt. She's here, she's visiting me and she's on her way to Florida for a couple months, two months she said. Yeah about two months. That's kind of crazy. It is crazy. You're gonna miss your shit cause like I'm like freaking out that I'm here for one month. So I feel like I would not be able to do two months. I had such a hard time packing but at least you have your car because I don't have like my stuff. Well here's the thing, my friends are coming to Florida at the end and they're gonna drive back with me. So I couldn't like stuff my car with stuff. Yikes. Well I think I'm gonna take her to the mill. We're gonna do a little hike, see some fall leaves and then probably come back here for a quick change and then go to dinner. So we're at the mill. A lot of people take their senior photos here and like family photos and fun fact I'll try to find my senior pictures and put them in this vlog but I took some right there. I like just made my mom take it because I had a nice camera at the time and she just took them for me. So shout out to you mommy for taking my senior pictures. I was just telling Charlotte that it's pretty crazy that me and Ryan used to go swimming in this water. I think I still would go in it just because I love like playing water but it's so much like muddier than the waters in Austin like the Barton Creek spillway. It's just like so much clearer and like sometimes when I go in there I'll see like algae and I'm like, oh it's so gross but like this is disgusting and I used to swim in this shit and people still do. I mean, I still would. Me and Charlotte are at dinner right now. It's very dark but we're at Ips and we got these giant garland pools. Dangerous. We ended up picking up wine on the way home. I honestly don't really like wine or red wine at least. I like the sweeter stuff like my go-to is in Scotto still. I know I'm literally still like a freshman in college but Charlotte said I should try out this. It's Roscato and it's a red wine but apparently it's sweet so I'm gonna try something new tonight because I want to like wine. Like I wanna be like a cool person that drinks wine but my taste buds say otherwise. We love a twist top, don't we? Oh my God, me and Charlotte. Okay, so obviously we weren't supposed to drink at this already house. We had this wine bottle one time and we thought it was like a twist top but obviously we didn't have like a wine corkscrew I guess and so I wonder if I still have the video but what did you use to like try to get it off or get the cork out? I swear you like, you were like, no you were like, oh if you heat it up like the cork will come out. Remember so we tried to light it on fire. I don't think people have said that that worked for them. Yeah. Like the heating thing. Yeah. Cheers being back together after, I think the last time we saw each other was last August during mock recruitment. It kind of tastes like that Welch's sparkling juice and I like it. Yeah, it kind of does. Why does it taste sparkling? I thought you would like it though. It is sparkling. Oh it is? I like that. I kind of forgot about that but that's why I was in the sparkling section and I couldn't find it. Now we know. This is with the sparkly ones. It tastes just like juice. It's good. What's the percentage of alcohol on the ship? Let's see. Probably not. 7%. Yeah. It sucks we just like the yummy ones never have the alcohol. Shocker. I asked you guys to ask us questions on my Instagram stories. So we're gonna go through some questions and answer them. I feel like me and Charlotte just haven't seen each other and you remember that we did this once when we were carving pumpkins or something? Do you remember that? Yes I do. So this is my best friend Charlotte. Like I said she was my roommate junior year and we, okay this is how we met. We met in the same sorority before that cause we went through recruitment at the same time and we met in the recruitment line and cause both of our last names are starting with a P. I feel like I meet a lot of my friends in the lines. Like me and Lara met in a line of orientation. Yeah. Maybe I'm just a good like conversation starter, you know? I often saw you like every day cause we were always in the same line but no you were a good conversation starter. Like some people didn't want to talk but I think it was like during recruitment people were so mean in the line cause they think they're better than you and those people, no offense but they ended up in what they didn't think they would end up in. Let's just say that. They just didn't have a good attitude about it. Yeah. So we went through recruitment together not like in the same like row gamma group but in different ones but they would just always be in combined lines and then we went Katie, comment down below if you're Katie, AOT. And yeah, so that's how we met. We went to UCF, University of Central Florida in Orlando and Charlotte's from Jacksonville. Yes. And I was actually- St. Augustine Jacksonville. But I was born in Jacksonville so that's why I had to go to Florida for college cause it was prepaid and he regrets in college things you wish you'd done or wish you didn't. I would say I wish I got involved more. Like I honestly like wish I got involved with the student, what's it called? Student Union. Like I wish I worked there cause they all seem so like close-knit and like, you know, you're like cool on campus and like, I don't know. I just always thought they were cool. So like either working there like on a marketing team or something but like I feel like I did a lot. Like I feel like I was involved as much as I could have been because I just like, I don't know but like I was like booked up every second which was great. But that then like post-guide it was really hard for me to feel like fulfilled because I didn't have anything to do every second. Yeah. So that kind of sucked. I think for me, one of mine is kind of like that I was because I was also like eight a.m. to like six p.m. I was like either working or like in a research lab or studying or like doing something. And I don't feel like I missed out on fun stuff. Like I still made it to every social. I still like, I never said no to like doing things. I don't think, did I? I'm not really. I think I just did all of it. But I like wanted to die. I was so stressed. I think it's not that I wish I would have cut back on like the academic stuff a little bit more so I could do fun stuff. I think I just wish I would have cut back a little bit so I wouldn't have been so stressed because I don't think I missed out on anything. I think it was just a lot. And in my opinion, like the classes I had A's in, if I just spent three less hours a week on them and just chilled, I still would have had none. So I was like, I don't know why. Like I don't know. Yeah. Or like it would have been fine if I like needed a day off from one of my labs or my job, like everybody was understanding. But it was just me. I just couldn't stop myself. Right. So I think I would have chilled out a little bit more about that. I think I would have gone out more, to be honest. I feel like- I think I was, it was the right amount for me. So we had two other best friends, Megan and Kailin. Unfortunately, they couldn't be with us today because obviously they live in Florida. Charlotte is in grad school. Kailin's in PA school. Megan has an awesome marketing job. And so yeah, that's what they're all doing. I feel like all of us were really chill and like we didn't like, we weren't crazy party animals really, but I kind of wish like a little bit that we just went out more because now I look back, especially during these COVID times, I'm like, shit, I just wish we like went out like three times a week or like, but obviously, you know, we, like there's sacrifices and that's why we did so good in school. And that's why we were so involved cause we obviously like made this sacrifices, you know what I mean? But okay, maybe not three times a week, but I just felt like I didn't go out as often, especially summer B. If you guys go to UCF, you would know what summer B is. I just feel like everyone went out every single night and I did not know because I didn't know how to. I just kind of wish I went out more just because especially now I feel like I'm such a lame-o and like, like, what were y'all's go-to food spots in Orlando? Suicide. Three two, okay, yeah. Sorry, I'm coming over. Suicide, suicide. Suicide eat station. It's like a poke bowl, but not a poke bowl. It's like, put all this junk food seasoning. Yeah, it's literally like. So good. Sushi. Sushi. Not a poke. Yeah, it's different. It's definitely different. It doesn't taste as like fresh as poke, which is what I love about it. We're just like crunchy fried pieces. It made me feel like a complete shit every fucking time I ate it, but it was so good. Next question is most embarrassing thing in college you did. I don't know. Okay, first ever time I blacked out, took what, 10 tequila shots? Too many. Yeah. I don't know how many. Yeah, I don't know why I did it. Anyways, so we were going to guilt and we were gonna see loud luxury. They sang, body on my, losing on my innocent, no, okay. And at the time that was the only song they sang that. Like, that was the only good song. That and like one other song, but no one wrote it. Maybe, but we were just waiting for body. That was it. That was the only song we wanted to hear. And so we went to guilt. You know, if you go to UCF, RIP apparently, she told me they closed. When we got there, yeah, I don't remember anything else. And it's so sad because I feel so bad I took them away from the concert. We were pretty bomb. I know. And me and Megan like, I'll be honest, we very rarely have like that much fun out. Yeah, like me and Megan really don't have that much fun. When we go out and me and Megan were having so much fun that night. And we never have that much fun. And then somebody was like, hey guys, this is kind of your job. Like if you're that person's like best friend, people come and tell you like, hey, you're friend. Right. It's like whatever. So I think it was like Tiff or someone. Or maybe it was younger girls. And they were like, hey, so always out on a curve. That was my first time blocking out. I never even knew what that felt like. I don't understand when people are like, yeah, let's block out tonight. Like, who wants to feel that? Like what, is that some kind of freaking torture joke? Well, I guess the embarrassing part was going back to the sorority house because I lived there. And me just literally like being a fucking noodle because I didn't, I wasn't alive apparently. Like I literally look at pictures they took at me. I don't think I was alive that night. But thank God I woke up the next morning because I was filming the spirit splash because I was on the UCF social team and I was the intern then. And I had a big day. I was using the big ass Ronin. I will literally like insert video clips of me wanting to just like die. Because first of all, it was a lot. It was very overwhelming because there's like thousands. I don't know how many people are there, but like literally so many people just surrounding you. So much, so much loud music. Not a good scene for a hungover person. Let me tell you that, especially because it was like so many. It was hot. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't sound very embarrassing, but like the fact that I don't remember what happened and that my friends had to tell me what happened like literally makes me want to like cry and like. That's a terrible feeling. I feel like so many people think it's like so funny. That's what happens to them when they're like, oh my God, like I did that. And like to me, I'm like, oh my God. Like I don't. Which I didn't do anything crazy. I was just a noodle like I said, but like it's not a good feeling to be a noodle. Like I don't, I felt so bad. Charlotte lived in the house three years. So she studied sophomore year. So I lived in the house my sophomore year and not a lot of sophomores live in the house. So it's not like I had a lot of friends. Like I was still kind of young. Like people didn't really like know me that much. Like, I don't know. I mean, they obviously knew who I was because I was living in the house, but like we weren't like BFS or anything. Enough, I didn't know them enough to get super embarrassed about this. And so I forgot that we couldn't open our windows. Oh yeah. There was like a frat house across the street. And they were having- At the same? Yes. And they were having like a EDC, not EDC, EDM. What's it called? I don't know what it's called. Key West Fest? Key West Fest. Yeah, so they were having like a EDM house music like concert across the street. And I didn't want to go by any means, but I wanted to listen to it. So I opened my window to listen to it. And you know how like EDM music and house music like sometimes has like the siren noises? Yeah. So our house alarm started going off and I thought because I opened the windows that it was the sirens from the music across the street. So I was literally just sitting in my room looking out the window like that. So it was music. While the alarm was blaring and then somebody came to my room was like the alarm is going off and I was like right. And I did not put two and two together that it was because of me because I opened the window. And then our house mom wasn't there that night. So it kept going off and we had to call the fire department to come to me. Because she kind of turned it off and she was out of town. And everybody was looking around like, oh my God, who set off the fire alarm? Like I was so annoying. And I didn't know it was me. So I was sitting there like, oh my God. And then I realized it was me and I asked my roommate like, oh my God, do I say anything now? Because now it looks like I was lying that I still didn't know. So eventually I was like, guys, wait, I think it could have been me. Like I happened to have opened my window. And then I think they charged me for that too. So I had to pay. This is where he house his grin all the time. Yeah, I was mortified. I think that may have been the most embarrassing. We're gonna end this Q&A and probably this video because all we're gonna do tonight is eat cake and probably watch something on TV.
