How my freshman year at NYU earned me a PHD in celebrity stalking..

An NYU freshman student's tales of chasing celebs down the street and sneaking into ridiculously VIP events. You're going to want to check this out, trust me. It's bananas!

with lots of camels because you know why own a golden retriever when you can have a pet camel named Abdu.

September 2013...

I’M GOING TO NYU- to “study”… I don’t have a clue what. But I’m obsessed with celebrity culture and a lot of those whack jobs live there… so YAY! My stalking can finally surpass reading every celebrity blog known to mankind...AND BECOME REAL!

4. Beautiful first day, crisp morning air… OH my could that possibly be crazy Alec walking his dog?

HEEEEEY NEIGHBOR!!!!

5. Got the video version too baby!

6. YUP, THATS DEFINITELY CRAZY ALEC!

You have a place in my heart Alec, but i don't know I how I feel about you living down the street from my dorm.. please don’t hurt me..

8. Few blocks down…

Well looky looky, top of the morning to ya Amanda Seyfried! I recited lines to her from Mean Girls she told me "look at that dedication!" Then I told her I'm REALLY white AND from Africa.....

YES, I'm actually really from Africa Karebear.

10. Nyu.. Thank you for accepting me and all the Disney channel’s beautiful pre-pubescent child actors into the freshman class of 2017.. Cody/Zack (whichever you are) lets start a study group!

I'm all about activism and women empowerment especially if there are a few celebs in the crowd...

11. Ledge #1 -The Queen of like everything... the overachieving badass in every field

Actress with Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes to her name, activist, freedom fighter, fitness guru, and age defying unicorn-JANE FRIGGIN FONDA!

12. Ledge #2- Another oldie but a goody... Mrs. Sally Fields

I recited lines from Forest Gump and Mrs. Doubtfire... she thought it was really cute and really weird.

13. Ledge # 3 Gloria Steinem.. (i'm pretty sure she invented cool?)

14. My Besty

Rosario and I… BFF for life! Loving the cheek to cheek action! Love ya girl.

15. AND THE LIST GOES ON...

16. AND ON..

17. AND ON..

18. STAY WITH ME NOW...

19. Hanging out with da fashion homies.

I don't really know what she does, but it's okay... we became buds <3

20. Unidentified Man.. WHOSE EVERYWHERE.

When you’re at a Marchesa Fashion show I guess you assume everyone there is either a celebrity or designer.. I walked up to this man thinking it was Alexander Wang… told him how how much I admired and respected him.. only to later find out that THIS IS NOT ALEXANDER WANG… so just labeled him as the unidentified man.. but you know turns out he's some yahoo exec so what the hell why not put this fellow on the list.

Literally this guy witnesses my ghetto-fab stalking.. whether in the streets or ... (you'll see at the end).

21. Second time's a charm

Saw this chick at Fresh&co after yoga and she wouldn't take a picture with me or give poor manager George an autograph.. She said "I don't do autographs/pictures.." George was really upset. Few weeks later, I get Katie to take a picture with me.. If I can get Jane Fonda... I can frecken get Katie Holmes. Its not like she's my favorite but it was a challenge and George was proud.

22. THE BIG GET. THIS IS WHEN I GOT MY M.A..

With Queen Wintour herself.. When Queen Wintour exits a fashion show, paparazzi's put their cameras down, people run in opposite directions, no one dares to bother her. As for me, I chased her down the Street ( 9 blocks) and even though she did not want to listen I made her and I told her " Despite how the media characterizes you, despite the movies made about you, you have revolutionized the world of fashion and nobody can do what you do." She responded by telling me, "Well thats not something you hear everyday." Asked her for a picture and she said "Amy, Amy take a picture of us." Poor Amy wanted to evaporate and my friend ended up passing out but she had to hang in there as following the picture paparazzi's ran up to us requesting to take photos of us.. A DAY TO REMEMBER.

23. THE RANDOS

Was walking in the street saw a bunch of people screaming and running up to this dude. Even though he's Indian he played the "Arab maaaan" on Lost, so I guess he's part of the fam. Went up to him too and cuddled with my bro Naveen.

24. THE ULTIMATE RANDO.

Having lunch at Bal Harbour in Miami with this dude coincidentally sitting next to me. Asked him for a pic to add to the collection (well he was willing to do a photoshoot)... Mom told me I stooped low and that this would be a threat to my collection but you know.. I think I made his year... good karma good karma.

25. THE RANDO AT A WEDDING IN EGYPT!

Who brings Akon to their wedding? Apparently Egyptians do. African Pride, gotta love it.

26. I'm kinda random too... not gonna lie.

You know usually people go sit at the pool in resorts and relax and stare at the sky... NOT WHEN IM THERE. A quiet spring day turned into a performance done by the one and only Susu (yes I refer to myself in 3rd person). At first people were kinda scared but then then it turned into a performance with fans that included babies and old scary man referring to me as "THE STAR.."

27. THE HOTTIES

no comment.. never saw his movies, but you know when Thor's at the same party YOU TAKE A PICTURE WITH HIM. Really hard experience though because this was at a party and I had to be a composed guest (which explains the overly enthusiastic smile) I mean HE'S THOR PEOPLE COME ON CAN THIS CREATURE BE ANY MORE MAGNIFICENT?!

28.

I'm evaporating.. stage 1 initiated.

PS.. This photo was taken by Thor.

29. Apparently Miley's evaporating too..

I come back from Liam, to news that Miley has lost the plot . My teenage idol Hannah Montana is now naked and vibrating her women parts to metal objects..

30. Btw.. I thought I was wizard until I was 15.

It all started with Mr. Harry Potter… Thats me in the 6th grade, back when I thought I was a wizard and that it was cool to walk around with a lightening bolt across my forehead..

31. When Harry met Sarah..

Or rather when Sarah chased Harry down the street till he was forced to meet Sarah..

32. It was ...

kinda emotional... so many EMOTIONS

33. Sandy's Bambi moment (deeeeer in headlights)

YA.. Lets just say Sandy and I got REALLY up close and personal. She told me to she doesn't want me to die... ( don't really know why she said that, I assume she felt I was very tenacious..) thats sweet Sandy <3

34. Couple's picture @ Toronto Film Festival

<3 <3 <3

35. This girl kills me...

I was hyperventilating but I'm happy I got to tell her things I was carrying for 6 years, unable to express in front of her trailer, outside premieres, fashion shows, etc ( I promise I am a very nice and not creepy person in real life).

3 Words, 8 Letters, I Love You.

36. So now that I got access to all these stars, I really thought it was time to up the ante.

This is the final exam that would earn me the deserved degree as a seriously experienced, well versed Celebrity stalker... TIME TO SNEAK INTO THE OSCARS. JUUUUST KIDDING.. I WAS INVITED HOMIES.

(My older brother and sister are badass journalists and documentary filmmakers they made an incredible film called The Square, which got nominated and hence.... WE ALL WENT TO THE OSCARS)

37. WHO ARE YOU...? OH I'M AN EGYPTIAN REVOLUTIONARY..

LONG LIVE EGYPT!!!!!!!!

38. MORE HARRY POTTER FRIENDS

Hermione Granger... What a gem! #cantbreathe

39. Yeah.. so apparently my bro is bros with Leo Dicaprio..?? WAAAAT?

#letshavelunchatUncleLeoshouse #thisiswhatdreamsaremadeof #sincewhenismybrothiscool....

40. DO WE HAVE TO LET GO?!?!

#cantbreathe #noreallycantbreathe #someonecallmetheparamedics

41. When you cant get into The Governors Ball... Hang out with John Travolta instead..

42. Pressing Cate on the hard questions....

Lets get down to the bottom of this once and for all... DID YOU START YOUR CAREER AS AN EXTRA IN A RANDOM EGYPTIAN FILM IN THE EARLY 90'S OR NOT (Word on the street you got paid in falafel sandwiches..) ?

43. Hanging with daaaa winners yo!

#thisissoweird #hesmuchprettierthanicaneverhopetobe

44. Famous Unidentified Photobomber? (C'est moi)

My mom's here but I'm totally up to be adopted..

45. My mom is omygawd-ing in English & Arabic..

Standing behind Jennifer Garner, Zac Efron, Precious, Hermoine, and Julia Roberts is somewhere close by.. you know just a typical Sunday afternoon really.

46. Bonding with the Jolie-Pitts ....

We both care about changing the world, I think we should hang out more. #momcalmdown..

47. THE MOMENT OF MY LIFE ... I WAS REBORN

Imagine getting a hug and kiss from your ultimate idol... I'm talking about the person you wrote your "Who do you admire the most in the world?" paper on in 6th grade and read in front of all the parents whose children wrote speeches about them and turned it into an " I love my parents" moment... Yes.. that would be MERYL STREEP guys..I kinda confessed to her that I might love her more than my own mother.. She was flattered and confused and congratulated me on my ability to recite her entire monologue about cerulean in Devil Wear’s Prada.. then gave me a speech about how she's "so proud" of my sister and I.. Awwwww Mama Meryl I love you.

It was the single greatest moment of my life.

#couldntbreathe #threwmyphone #hadtolivethismoment

48. The Oscar Pic...

I did not steal this.. It belongs to the people that ended up beating us in the Best Doc section.. #there'salwaysnextyear

49. Not interested...

PS: TMZ kinda is hunting me down to join them. I’d rather keep it classy and hopefully.. hopefully work with you fine people!
