It's my last day in southern California :((( I had honestly the best time here though. I got to see the ocean which is literally my favorite thing in the world. It's just so vast and huge and blue and it goes on forever and ever and oh my god I'm in love with the waves and the sun and the sky and the sand and everything. It's all perfect. Dad took us to Del Mar which is where he grew up, so that was cool. It's the cutest little town and he must have had the most perfect childhood ever because he could walk to the beach with his friends in like two minutes and stay there all day, every day of the summer.
I'm a little sunburnt but that's okay, it was totally worth laying in the sun for a few hours, pretending like I had nothing to worry about. Today I'm flying back to my home in Minneapolis which I miss but honestly I wish I could stay in California forever (or at least a few more weeks).
I hope you guys liked some of the pictures that I took on my trip!!!!! Everything in Cali is so picturesque. Now I'm headed home to face the COLD HARD REALITY THAT IS BACK-TO-SCHOOL.
I'm going to end this post with another fab song that kind of has to do with the ocean I guess. It's by one of my FAVORITE BANDS EVER whom I got to see live in concert in April which was literally LIFE CHANGING. This is Sink To The Bottom by Fountains of Wayne (I'm in love with them???)
I am having THE MOST FUN in Los Angeles. These are a few pictures I took so far. I'm coming home on Saturday so I've still got a few days to go! Tomorrow we will be driving to San Diego which I'm pretty thrilled about. Southern California is so beautiful and I now know what Best Coast was talking about when they wrote The Only Place.
However, I did get quite sick on Monday and stayed in bed all day. But I'm better now so everything is gr8.
YOU GUYS I'M FREAKING OUT I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. I ONLY HAVE LIKE 2 WEEKS OF SUMMER LEFT OH GOD I'M GOING TO CRY. WHOEVER SAID SUMMER WAS ENDLESS WAS REALLY NOT VERY SMART BECAUSE SUMMER IS LIKE LITERALLY THE SHORTEST SEASON OF ALL THE SEASONS. MORE LIKE ENDLESS WINTER. WINTER IS THE ONLY ENDLESS SEASON BECAUSE LITERALLY IT DRAGS ON FOR LIKE EVER OH MY GOD.
anyways, I will end this post with one of my favorite songs 4evr, Train In Vain by the Clash. It's good for driving around with the windows down.
MY FRIEND PEACHES MADE ME THIS WONDERFUL PUNK ALIEN SHIRT and it's beautiful and I love it so much oh my god.
I've been having weird almost-the-end-of-summer feelings lately. this is my last summer that I'll legally be a kid. I'll be going to my last first day of school on August 26th. I'm going to be a SENIOR. In one year I'll be moving out of my house that I've lived in my whole life. GROWING UP IS SCARY I'M SAD BUT ALSO EXCITED BUT ALSO REALLY REALLY FREAKED OUT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO ALL I DO IS DANCE AROUND MY ROOM TO DAVID BOWIE.
I don't know if that made any sense at all but I hope I communicated my feelings accurately. And if this school year doesn't end up like a John Hughes movie then I literally am going to cry.
ANYWAYS I'm so so so so so so so SO excited because tomorrow I'll be hopping on a plane to go to wonderful LOS ANGELES for a whole week!!!!! I'm legitimately bummed that I'm not going to be there in time for the Rookie Fest. Oh well, I'm going to have so much fun anyway because california in general is just really fabulous and my hope is that I get into a college there. I'm going to take so many pictures and put them up here!!!!!!!!!
I've been having so much fun just hanging out with my friends and eating ice cream sandwiches and drawing pictures and reading and listening to music and playing guitar. I've gotten into the habit of sitting out on my front steps and just breathing in the wonderful summer air. It's so great and school is just going to ruin everything. UGH.
so yeah. HAVE SOME SUMMERY INSPIRATION (FROM TUMBLR):
also I've really been digging Best Coast's more ~lo-fi~ stuff like this song from Make You Mine 7":
it's wonderful and i've been listening to it like all week in order to get ready for some CALIFORNIA VIBES
