So I decided I would do a vloggy type of blog post. You know the ones. The ones where people videotape their daily lives and post it on youtube. I figured that because it was my 17th birthday I would do something similar.This gonna be like an outfit post with some more pics from my life.  So yeah. My birthday was May 7th and I am officially 17 year old.

 

 

Everyone always seems to be waiting to be older. I know I am. I can't wait to go to college, see the world, and make stupid mistakes that I can't make while i'm at home. But then you actually do grow older and suddenly the future is closer than you think. So you stop and look around, take a day or two to appreciate life and not look forward into the future that may or may not be. Today was one of those days. I didn't think about tomorrow, or next week. I was just glad I survived another crazy year of life. Maybe this is just me getting sentimental and stuff but it's true. You don't notice the shades of colors that bring life to well your life until you slow down a bit and look around. 

I'm a lucky girl I know that. I forget how many people care about me, love me. And I'm so fortunate to have people a)REMEMBER my birthday and b)Bring me FOOD. It was a good day. Like a genuine good day, with happy feelings, and great people. So I stopped and smelled the roses so to speak and I remembered how many people care about me. I remembered how awesome it felt to not worry about tomorrow. I remembered how much fun it is to actually talk to my family. I remembered how great it feels to just have a dance party in your room by yourself. I turned 17. My birthday was really fucking awesome.

Transitions

There are still some cold days. There are warmer days. There a busy days and just busy days pretty much. I think this outfit is perfect for transitioning between winter and spring. The key to any look like this is layers. If it's colder where you're at you can throw on a warmer coat or a scarf.

It's crazy to think that there are only two months left of school. I always thought that the entirety of junior year was hard but in reality the worse time is the last two months of school. Finals are looming, (next week) and AP tests are rushing towards us with an intensity that's scary. In many ways I feel like I've transitioned into a busy crazy time that will probably make me loose what little sanity I have. But hey life's more interesting when you're a little crazy right?

TOO TOUGH TO DIE

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated
 

 Nothin' to do and no where to go-o-oh

Just get me to the airport put me on a plane. Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane

I have an obsession with muscle tanks. I don't have too many but for some reason I really love how they look and how comfortable they are. I actually have the sweatshirt version of this shirt and I love it so one of my very dear friends got this bad-ads shirt for me, for Christmas. I feel so badass with my new hair and this outfit.

These next two months are going to be crazy busy. AP tests are coming, looming over us students like the guillotine. With AP tests comes the mock AP Final thing. Which I have in a few weeks. *insert worried face here*. So as the end of the year comes towards me, teachers are cramming in material, squeezing in tests, making time for in class essay and FRQ's. I'm not ready for this. Worst of all my finals are on a weekend. Not just any weekend but their on the annual LA book festival. I know that it's not the end of the world and whatever, but I love going to the book fair, seeing authors, fingerling, watching panels, I love it. But that's the thing with school, it has a tendency of butting into your life like an overbearing friend. Please don't hate me if I don't update as much as I normally do. So wish me luck guys, I'm about to embark on the longest and craziest two months of this school year.

WICKED

"I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game"

The Ceiling in the Pantages was beautiful! 

"I'm through accepting limits cause someone says they're so"

The Stage for the performance. It's a map of OZ. I thought it was pretty cool.

" I do believe I have been changed for the better and because I knew you"

"But I know I'm who I am today because I knew you..."

Wicked is amazing. The story is so raw and real and even funny. It's essentially the untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West. It deals with discrimination, scapegoating, power, love, friendship and the effect it can have on people. It's a beautiful story that I fell in love with. I'm not going to lie, I've been listening to the soundtrack non-stop. Speaking of the music, the voices in this show is incredible! I saw this last week at the Pantages. Oh my, I was in awe of the beauty, strength, and sheer emotion in their voices. It was an amazing thing to witness. This is the type of story that kind of just sticks with you. Because we all are like Elfaba (the wicked witch), outsiders, weird, or maybe we're like Glinda (the Ga is silent lol) sweet, bubbly, a bit self centered. There's a character, I think, that everyone can relate to and in the span of two hours completely fall in love with. The characters pull at your tender little heartstrings. 

The music and the story line created this whole new world with characters you couldn't help but relate to, root for, and love. This was definitely an experience I will always hold dear to my heart. My sister went out of her way to give my brother and I an experience that not everyone get's to well experience. I'm lucky, I'm extremely fortunate and so happy I was able to go see this beautiful story come to life.
