So I am not dead. But i'm very sorry that I've not been posting. I blame school and testing. But now that summer's started I will be posting on schedule :) Okay but enough about me.

So this is probably the nostalgia talking, but I picked this quote because this summer is the last summer I have to just be, next year i'll be picking out a bean bag for my dorm in college and  I will be figuring out my classes and I would have said goodbye to my favorite teachers and my friends. It's more than a little scary. But with all the day dreaming about the future comes the nostalgic, sometimes tear filled glimpses into the past. This includes me cleaning out papers and binders and folders from high school and middle school. Yes I am a pack rat. And I found little notes and quotes and random little writings. I kept them. Mostly because it's nice to remember the stupid things we talked about, or the stupid boys we all liked, and the not stupid quotes that I still love. And maybe I realize that they aren't that stupid. These tiny things made me happy. These tiny things made me remember when my friend and I went to yogurtland without parent permission and ran all the way back to her apartment only to find my mom waiting for me... It made me remember about how my friends and I would sit in a circle and talk about our lives. About how we would fangirl about TVD, Once Upon a Time, Reign, etc. About how we've been sitting at the same bench for three years. And how we have one more year filled with more tiny memories that will stay with me like the post its I found in my freshman year binder.

I guess what i'm trying to say is that life moves fast and you have to look back sometimes and remember the good stuff, the happy stuff, and sometimes (most of the time) you have to notice the small things because they tend to be the more important things. I mean do you think i'm going to remember what I got on my chapter ten test in AP U.S History, Probably not. But I'll probably still remember how my friend drew me a starbucks frap with my name spelled very, very wrong, because I complained about how starbucks people can never spelled my name right. Yet  at the time my grade mattered infinitely more than the post it. So enjoy the small things, the things you might not find important at the time, the things that make you smile during the day. Because when it's all said and done those are the thing you remember and want to remember.

Blogtober: Falling For Autumn

Today was a nostalgic, "what if-ing" kind of day. Thus I felt like a comfy, chunky knit sweater was the best way to go. I know I mentioned this before, but sweaters and skirts are my fall go to outfit. It's comfortable while still being cute and fashionable. Sometimes it's accessories that make the outfit you know?I dressed it up with some knee high socks that I absolutely fell in love with. I also added a floral necklace to help lighten up the outfit. 

Somehow it's already the middle of October. I know it sounds cheesy to say but as slow as time seems to go, once you look back, it actually went by really fast. I don't even know if that made sense.  I guess what i'm trying to say (and failing at) is that time has flown without me even noticing. Maybe it's because today's one of those nostalgic days when you can't help but think of what if moments and the could have been times. Because sometimes you look back at what you've done, and you're kind of like "what the fuck am I doing with my life". You might regret not having done something, doing things too late. Maybe we just have those what if ideas because we want more out of life. Maybe we just look for the ways we could have gotten to where we wanted instead of looking down the road you're on.
