My New Year's resolution is to take more pictures, specifically self portraits.  I want to take a self portrait every week for an entire year, one that I'm really proud of. They will probably all be better than this. Anyway, three of my best friends and I are already home from school, and our other best friend finished her last exam yesterday.  We decided to go get her and bring her home together.  It's a nearly two hour drive, though, so we had to amuse ourselves. Kaitlyn, upon entering the car, was immediately smothered in hugs. We haven't seen each other in a month, so it was a pretty emotional reunion. I got to see her dorm without the aid of Skype for the first time, which was awesome.  Kaitlyn reads this blog, and got inspired to do her own version of my wall decorations.  She also did some circles on her roommate's side of the room,  using some...*cough*... interesting  circles. At least her roommate can be safe and decorative! ...

Re-decorating, Continued

I've been making paper snowflakes while I study, and most of them have hearts to match the hearts on the walls. This leaves me with piles and piles and piles of adorable little paper hearts without a home, and I can't bear to waste them. I got this adorable yarn on (where else) Etsy a few months ago, and I haven't had much to do with it,  so I attached the hearts to different lengths of string  and hung them over my pillow!  Aren't they cute? And the snowflakes look so pretty on our window.  (:  We haven't gotten any snow yet, so these will have to do for now.  I also put paper hearts on my friend Emily's wall today to de-stress after my chemistry final!  Isn't she the cutest? Emily's bed is right on the other side of the wall from mine, and we knock back and forth to each other.  We have a secret code. Did you ever have secret codes when you were little?  Do you have any now?  Tell me!

Re-decorating for Finals

When I'm stressed (like I am right now for finals), I usually want to bake or make crafts.  From reading  Katie 's blog to de-stress, I've been dying to decorate my walls.  Unfortunately, my walls look like this: My roommate's walls, however, look like this: We've both been really stressed lately, so I wanted to do something that would make her smile.  I've had these magazines since I went home for Thanksgiving break, and I figured it was time to do something with them.  After about an hour of furious snipping, And pausing to sniff the perfume samples, I had a huge pile of scraps. But also, a huge pile of hearts!  I used sticky tack to stick the hearts to her wall, And made a pretty pattern! Now when she looks up from her bed, she'll have something pretty to look at and will remember how much I love her.  (:  I even had enough hearts left over to do the wall above my bed!  Now it'll always look like I'm dreaming of love. What do ...

So That's That

I never said I would post regularly on this blog.   Let’s just start off by saying that. I have written a few entries, I just haven’t typed them out.   I type all day at work; cut me a little slack. Anyway, I’m waiting for new music to load onto my iPod, so I thought I would say hi.   Hello.   I’m a high school graduate now.   It’s weird.   People keep asking me if I feel different, and I really don’t.   Should I?   I don’t know.   Vlog about that later.   By the way, ohmygoshthankyou to everyone who said such nice things about “On Remembering To Be Awesome”.   I am really happy with how that vlog came out, and I’m glad others thought so.   Kym even tweeted it to the vlogbrothers.   It would be amazing if one of them watched it.   Future goal.             I bought my first piece of furniture for my dorm today.   A teal floor rocker from Target.   I...
