Hello Again

Hey, friends, if you're still there. I'm still alive! I'm pretty sure it has been over a year since I've blogged on here, but I recently got very inspired and want to continue journaling about my life on the world wide web.
I made it to college. I am officially a Macalester Scot and live in a teeny dorm room with a dripping sink and horrific carpeting. But, I've managed to make it look somewhat cozy, I think:

I love my lil corner. My roommate and I get a long pretty well, although it has been an adjustment to not having my nice big bedroom and a bathroom to myself. (I HATE COMMUNAL BATHROOMS THEY ARE LITERALLY THE WORST PART ABOUT COLLEGE OMG)
But anyway, I'm two weeks in and I think I'm doin pretty well. I haven't made a lot of friends but I am joining a literary and arts magazine club and a Scrabble club, which I hope will allow me to meet more people who are like me.
While I'm pretty close to home, I'm still really homesick. I guess I'm just so attached to my family and my house (which we're moving out of, by the way) that seeing them once a week is still kind of not enough. Whatever, I'll get over it.
Here's something that I've been watchin lately that has made me very happy:

MY FAVORITE SHOW + MY FAVORITE SONGS AND MY FAVORITE GIRL LINDSAY WEIR.

I'm nostalgic for a time and place in which I do not live. It's already cold here and it's only September and I miss the warm summer days where I didn't feel like I had to socialize with people that I didn't know. I don't know if any of this is making sense but I had to get it out there.

I'll leave you with some pictures of things/people that cheer me up a lil bit.

I hope that everyone has been havin a great school year!!!!!

 IT'S TOO HOT TO WEAR MORE CLOTHES THAN THIS. I got the dress from Columbia and I made the flower crown. I was pretty inspired by combining black and colors and I love just being able to throw on this plain black comfy cool dress and then wear crazy shoes and a flower crown with it:

the fabulous tavi, of course

it's one of those long, hot, humid days of summer where all you can do is lay around and listen to bob dylan and think poetic thoughts about change and life and death and stuff. I guess I've come to realize that life is a certain amount of time that you get and you have to do something with it because really it could end at any time. wow that sounded depressing. I've also realized that change is inevitable and that it can sometimes be a good thing. For example, after listening to The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars 10 billion times, I guess listening to Highway 61 Revisited for a while couldn't hurt. 

a n y w a y,

CHECK OUT MY DANSKOS! they're iridescent and shiny and wooden and comfortable and wonderful. they put me well over 6 feet tall and I love it so much.

 

also check out the pins that I purchased at rewind the other day!

Summer is so nice because I'll have days like today where I don't really do anything and I can just pursue whatever my heart desires and just have fun and be lazy and listen to records and take pictures and go to the lake and stuff. I never want summer to end.
