lovin' tips.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”

- Bob Marley

aint' that the truth

autumn fallin' from trees

the end of october always leaves me in a blur. wasn't it just august? i literally have no time to do anything spontaneous and i hate that. i feel like everything is always planned. not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but i miss waking up and not knowing what might occur during the day. i also am trying very, very hard to not leave all of my work for the last minute but that is proving to be unsuccessful. i get so caught up in my internship work that all i want to do is study that, and then i forget that i also am taking 4 classes. life seems to be on hyper speed, but i guess that's better than sitting around.

yesterday i was talking about how i want to just go to JFK and fly anywhere that'll take me. i'm not going to be picky. i'll even take montana. i bet montana is beautiful, and how many of you can say that you've been there?

farewell lovers. it's time to continue writing a paper on african american slaves and the jim crow era. i'm sure it's not shocking to anyone that no one is pulling my teeth to get me to write this. then my break of the day: bayville scream park! does anyone think pirate zombies will have chainsaws? lets hope not.

the older we all get, the better we all were.

i was going to continue with day 2, but then i realized that i can't really see anymore. until tomorrow...

cruisin' down the highway with my friends top down and we're all on our way to the beach...

this weekend i am going to california for one night to see incubus with kaela! spontaneous and crazy? maybe a little. but you must live until you die. picture updates to follow!

fall musts.

fall is my favorite fashion season by far. i love the in-between where you can layer, taking off or putting on as the crazy weather patterns occur. one of my all time favorite trends is mixing patterns. i love the grunge look of the 1990's, and flannels, stripes and florals bring me back to it. another fall must for me is tights and shorts with a fun top. the more ripped, the better for me, but regular vintage shorts are perfect too. i also love layering socks and boots and scarves. i'm a summer girl, but fall fashion takes it away.

ingrid makes me happy.
