inspiration

{Heart's a Blur by Jessie Alymore}

to those who read this blog:

i'm sorry that i haven't written in awhile. i've been super busy with school and having a life. haha just kidding! i don't really have a life... anyways, this girl in my art class told me about this amazing magazine called Frankie and i ruv it. i found some of these pics on there that have inspired me and have also brightened my day a little bit. enjoy! now back to my irritated state that finals has brought upon me...

welcome to my head

so, i am almost done with my finals. I have to art history paper; one is due tomorrow at five (outline: CHECK) and then another one is due on wednesday at four i think :/ (have no outline. only know that my artist that i am writing on is french and very very sexy).

this past week has been super stressful for me, but i am luckily still alive (somewhat). i went and got a spray tan with my sister (don't judge me). i love her so much, even though she is soooooo indecisive when it comes to picking out plates for a baby shower. haha sar! AND it was my best friends birthday yesterday. i never get to see her because we are both super busy, so it was sooo much fun to hang out with her on her 22nd birthday.

honestly, i love my life and i am very grateful, but sometimes i feel like such a loser. i mean, i think everyone feels that way sometimes and it's ok to be a loser, but it can be hard. so whoever is reading this: it's totally ok to feel insecure and to feel that no one understands you, but YOU are the only thing that you have in this world, so love yourself for who you are. and don't let anybody change that. i'm slowly learning this for myself as well (fabulous hair? CHECK)

i hope your weekend was lovely

So i am an idiot. it was my very very good friend's birthday yesterday and i didn't know until he told me on facebook chat. i am a total shmuck, but we all know this. anyways, enough about me. this is about on of my closest friends (even though he lives around the world practically), aaron.
the first time i met this boy, i thought he was a total douche, but spending time with him erryday for about ten months, i've come to love this boy.

so here are five things that i love about aaron:

1. he makes a mean cheeseburger
2. he got me obsessed with watches
3. he takes AMAZING pictures
4. he got me a "Hot Mess" cup for my birthday
5. he is an amazing friend

i love you so so much aaron! i am very lucky to have you in my life. BISOUS!

Banabigail

{banabigail's muse}

i've been meaning to put these pics up for awhile now. so basically the story is that the last night i was in neuchy neuch, me and my friends pulled an all-nighter and went out and had crazy fun times. i borrowed this greenish-yellow dress from my friend isabelle and my friend ben commented that i looked like a banana (ummm...RUDE). the next day, we went and watched some of the world cup and i was kind of depressed because, not only did england lose against germany, i was going back home to salt lake city. anyways, to be funny, my friend, alex, bought a banana and put lipstick and drew a dress on the banana and named it "banana-abby" i changed is to "banabigail" because it sounds better. haha. so they went around neuch and took pictures of banabigail in her daily life. here is some photos:

you know what I like about midterms?

absolutely nothing. I don't like:
1. the stress
2. the anxiety
3. not being able to enjoy a good bowl of mac and cheese
4. waking up {in cold sweat} in the middle of the night and yelling out: "EASTERN ZHOU WAS FROM 770-256 BCE!!!!"
4. living at the library where people yell at me for eating hummus and pita bread

Nothing. Nothing at all is appealing about the beginning of October, which is also known as hell week or....midterms....

ugh it's like saying Voldemort out loud.

sharks are always funny

recently, i've been having super crappy crap days. no, i don't have the runs, but i'd prefer them right now than dealing with this clusterf*ck. i won't go into details because i rather be complaining about my mundane life to someone who probably doesn't care. ha! anyways, i feel like the only way to deal with stinky situations is to: 1. swear a lot 2. make mean faces or 3. find something that makes you chuckle for a bit {i always love an instant-gratificator (is that a word?)}. well, i did all three and i feel a little bit better already.

bitter sweet

well, i'm just taking a break from packing up everything. i leave the swissland on monday morning. it's so weird to think that i came here in september. it's just gone by so so fast and i really don't know how to handle it.
at the same time, i'm super stoked to go "home" --it just sounds weird: Neucatel is my home now-- and to see my friends and family. my favorite holiday is coming up: 4th of July. HAZZAH.
anyways, i'm just rambling...i just wanted to write something.
here's a picture of Lady GaGa in a trash can in New York City.

I hope this makes your day

Hey all y'all. Today was a pretty difficult day for me, so I hope this brightens you up as much as it did to me. Oh, and I hope that you had a fabulous weekend.
