Sunday Sounds No.3: Watched the fireworks...






This week concluded what will probably be my last homecoming week ever (hopefully), and I don't think that really hit me until I just typed those words. As a transfer student I feel like I didn't really get to enjoy and relish every second of my college experience, it's been kind of hum drum for the most part if I'm being honest.
The last time I really remember having a blast was my Freshman year, which was my worst year academically, and soon turned to be my worst year emotionally. I went out a lot, made a lot of friends, experienced a lot of new things and people, and lived on campus (Which I 100% recommend doing if you're a first year student!) But I also didn't take school seriously, made some very big, very terrible mistakes, and kind of hated myself for it for a very long time.
I had to work my ASS off to get back into a University, and while working so hard I feel like I missed out on quite a lot. So Friday was a time of reflection for me, I'm actually doing so much better, SO much better, and I feel lucky to even be at the University I'm at.

So this playlist is just a reflection of time I guess, and perhaps a great one to make out and watch fireworks too.

Fall '15 Mood board



Tumblr trends are a bit weird huh?

I thought that these 'mood boards' were actually really pleasing to the eye though and I've seen them floating around all over my dashboard. I think it's also a really nice way to give some organization to your thoughts, and to plan outfits and looks for fall.
I've been DYING to get a big fluffy faux fur coat, even though I would never be able to wear it in Florida, but a girl can dream right?
Also really been loving mustard colored pieces. Yellow is actually my favorite color, and I have seen so so many mustard items this year. I think the color is flattering on just about everyone and it works so well with other fall tones like deep reds, greens, and of course black.
I've also really been dying to get my hands on a pair of New Balance's (that somehow made it back into popularity, thank God because they're so comfortable) I have maybe 4 different pairs stowed away in my Saved Items on ASOS, whoops. I'm just getting tired of wearing converse to class every day and I think, and know, that a pair of NB would make my tired,bored feet pretty happy.

Sunday Sounds No. 2: Walk The Moon + Hair


Ohhh what a week. 

I can't even really remember what I even did on Monday and Tuesday, so lets just say I mindlessly went to class and completed some assignments like a zombie, because that's probably precisely what I did. (Actually I just remembered dreading a Stats exam on Monday which I actually did very well on, go me! Anyways.. ) 

Wednesday is when my week really started. Or at least it's the first day of the week that I can remember, and it's the first day of the week that I remember enjoying. We finally saw Walk The Moon! Live, in the flesh, on stage. It was great. Holychild opened for them, and if you haven't listened to them you definitely should. They're really fun and not a typical pop band, and they have a great energy about them! Nothing but positive words for Holychild. 
It was probably the friendliest crowd we've ever been around concert wise. Probably because it was predominantly teenage girls who skipped school to be there. But I can't even be mad 'cause if my mom allowed me to do the same at that age I would have taken advantage of it too. 

Thursday was a bore as usual, and so was most of Friday. I decided to go see Hair Friday evening though and it was interesting. Is it my favorite musical? No. Was it bad? Definitely not. Was the nude scene all anyone was talking about? Absolutely.

Life Lately No.1



So since I've been gone for a little over a year I thought it would be best to kind of reintroduce myself again with a small life update. Been busy with school obligations as usual, looking for another job as usual, and my creativity has taken a comfortable seat on the back burner, as usual :(

I've been trying to unbuckle that little seatbelt in my mind and let it free. I've found myself painting more than usual, and really wanting to record these songs that have been sitting in my journal for MONTHS now. It's really frustrating to have to focus on school when you'd rather be recording, or emptying the contents of your mind into the pages of your notebook, or a white canvas.

 I still really have no concrete idea of what this blog really is, or what I want to talk about, but I guess I'll just roll with it. It truly is an extension of myself, and I think it's important to have. I don't think I'm one to post about beauty, or hauls, like I was doing before. I still really do want to keep this blog up, I'm just a little lost. We'll see what this incredibly small space on the internet transforms into.

That was a long one

So it's been over a year since my last post! Yikes. Not good, haha.
I guess that's what happens, but such is life, and I'm here again and that's all that matters.
It's kind of amazing how much you can fit into one year. So much has changed, and I feel like I'm on the cusp of figuring things out while simultaneously just wingin' it.

I could sit here and type up all of the mishaps that have happened. Or all the things that I've done, but I'm not gonna do that, and instead I'm just gonna take this post to say a quick "sorry I can't stick with one thing I'm working on it," and we can move on from there.

Here's to a new slew of posts and motivating myself to keep up with things.
