Nice Lighting// New Boots

I'm still enjoying Winter Break, but also I'm just really tired all the time so I have to force myself to do things or I sit and read Pretty Little Liars theories online all day.

I'm totally in love with these photos, all the shadows and the lighting is great, which makes up for the awkwardness I had to endure while trying to find somewhere to take them via timer. Nothing is worse than someone coming up right as the timer is about to go off and you have to awkwardly hurry away and look super suspicious and dumb.

I'm sad the holiday season is over. Also confused because it's like 85 degrees here. Geez louise.

Now excuse me while I window shop online and try to soak up the last free time I have before May.

2014???!?!?!?! year i meet harry styles pls

HARRY NEW YEAR

wow i can't stop thinking about Harry Styles, but to be fair i just watched a bunch of videos from when i saw them in concert. Which is something I did this year. Which leads me to.....

Some things i did this year: gradnite, prom, graduation, met blake anderson & Ben schwartz, saw one direction, the who, ed sheeran & taylor swift in concert. started college and finished my first semester, got a new kitty, and overall i am much cooler than before.

I also turned the big ol' one-eight, which was the most anti-climatic thing, this year was generally a lot of people telling me that things were gonna change and become adult-y and I am still the dweeb I've always been, maybe a little bit better. I could be president of the US of A and in between v important meetings I'd play Animal Crossing and wear socks with cats on them. Age is nothing and really is stressed too much, when really we should all just focus on becoming ourselves more I think. 

some general things or resolutions or revolutions this year and always: be great, music/art, read, self control, patience, drink water, feel good more feel bad less, help others, don't give in to negativity, love myself, be around people who make me feel nice, be more sparkly, be kind, be adventurous, be brave.

I think everyone just needs to love themselves and be more kind to everyone else

Californian Christmas

This past weekend my mother and I ventured up to LA, this time bringing my grandmother along too. Christmastime is so nice and lovely, and everything has lights on it and is sparkly and it's great. So we went to Santa Monica, I thought that Georgian hotel was super cute. Then we visited the Grove, which is one of my personal favorite places. It was a great trip. Now, i'm in a post-Christmas haze, missing the comfort of the recently thrown away wrapping paper covering the floors, and cuddling up to my presents. I got a record player as seen above and I am super excited about it. I got everything I didn't even remember I wanted, and I feel grateful to have people who care so much about me. Now back to watching too much TV in an effort to relax to the max while I have time off from school. I wish you all happy holidays. 

We will find a way through the dark

Today I had my last official class in which I completed my self portrait, as seen above. Tomorrow I have a presentation on women's reproductive rights in Argentina, and on Monday I will present my self portrait. But besides that, I am done. I am done with my first semester of college. I am extremely proud of my self portrait, it really progressed from when I started and it looks far better than anything I thought I could accomplish, at the same time I know its not perfect, but it was also my first attempt.Overall I'm really proud of myself in general. In life. I'm glad to be having a break, because I truly need it, but at the same time I'm bummed to switch classes because I like the ones I have so much. I'm also not interested in taking my general education, which is a problem. But I will do it. Because it's literally forced.

But I finally feel like I can sit down and breathe.

And get excited for Christmas. Finally.

Where's my Christmas tree?

things are a happenin'

I was just doing my own little thing and suddenly it's the middle of November.

Shit.

It's almost Christmas????? Also it's strange because I only have a week of school between Thanksgiving and Christmas break. And I suddenly feel extremely overwhelmed and wow. School is difficult and frustrating. I'm ready for Christmas break but I'm bummed to switch classes because I like a few of them quite a lot. 

But I need a break. I'm ready for a break.

But I don't know if I'm gonna make it to break.

Follow me on instagram for more updates.
