Thank you, Society.

It Was In A Dream

March 2nd?

Baha.

That was a long time ago.

What has happened since tHeN?!

Let me tell you. Let ME tell you. Let me tell YOU. Let you tell me. Let's tell each other.
Actually, I'm just going to tell you, because this is my blog and not yours.

I really like tea. This is a secret, and you're not allowed to copy me. I don't want you coming up to me and telling me that you suddenly really like tea more than you did already. I do NOT want to bond with you about this. I am just telling you that I really like tea. (Unless we already bond over this. You know who you are. No, not you. YOU... (Ros))


First off, this picture makes me lawl.
But, I really love The Hunger Games. 
They make me think and were quite pleasurable to read.


The boy in the chair a few feet away from me is picking his nose. Ew?


I just learned about these little guys! 
They're HAIR TIES. Cute hair ties. 
I might invest in some later in life.


I cannot wait to decorate my rom next year. I've already started hoarding ideas on Pinterest and on lists in my phone and computer. I know for sure it will look like this:
But it will also include things like tapestries, jars, books, cozy lamps and chairs and BEST PART: Jordan Greenberg! She's great.


It is important for you to know that I love my friends. I love them so much. 
They are passionate and beautiful and inspiring, 
and I don't know why they talk to me, 
but I love every minute of it. I hope that they know that.
 I hope they know that each one of them means the world to me.


This creeper is nice, too. 


This is where Trent will be living next year! 
(And three other special people, too, but I don't know if they would be okay with me essentially putting their addresses online!) 
Trenton, Austin awaits you! 
I cannot wait to go to see The Troubled Sluts Club's shows. 
(Trent and Mary are starting a band)


I'm going to Bonnaroo with Claire, Rob and Trenton! 
According to my Bonnaroo app, 
there are only 55 days, 13 hours, 10 minutes and 48 seconds 
left until that exciting time!


I will be making these next time I go home! 
They are pretzel, chocolate chip, peanut butter cookies. 
In the words of Mary Bryce, "doesn't that sound divine?" 
At that time, I will also get to see my family of funs and Al... 
all of whom I miss kind of terribly.



Now, I am off to do a million things. 
As usual. 
But, I love it. I hope that you are happy. 

I hope that you enjoy your life and realize how lucky you are. 
I also hope you realize that other people deserve a life as great as yours
 and that you should do what you can to make other people's lives better. 

I hope I make your life better.
