pinspiration, the black and white version

There’s just something to be said about black and white photos, isn’t there?

I think they are so lovely and mysterious.

…

Today I was finally able to sign up for all of my classes for next semester. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to take so many of these wonderful classes (especially now that all those pesky requirements are out of the way – I am looking at you, math…although I suppose I am not done yet, because I still have to take communications law my senior year…blech). In fact, next semester I will be taking a class on magazine editing, another on photography for newspapers and magazines (!!) and another called “visual thinking” – a studio class in which you basically get to draw countless fashion illustrations (my friend Tapper is taking it at the moment) – I can’t wait to show you guys what I come up with! I hope I am not too terrible.

Sometimes I cannot wait to “get going” with my life after college, especially because what I envision is so fabulous (think: New York City, a creative project with my friend Alex that I cannot talk about yet but will hopefully disclose sometime within the next year or so, lots of writing and freelance work, maybe even a successful Etsy jewelry shop!? Who knows!), but I do have to remind myself to live in the present. I do enjoy college, a lot. And I am very grateful that my school offers me the opportunity to explore my interests and passions and release my creativity through writing, fashion and photography.

I am pretty lucky, I must say.

And speaking of creativity, Tapper and I will take contemporary/modern dance classes together, hopefully soon. I’m so excited! I’ve always wanted to be a dancer (floor routines were always my favorite. That, and beam). I would love to compete, too…I guess that competitive fire in me didn’t die when my gymnastics career did!

p.s. to those of you who were super excited that I visited Costa Rica – I actually live there when I am not in college! My family has been there for a long time, since I was younger. It’s a long story!

Here’s a little something to brighten up your Monday.

Mine is okay so far (but I’m giving it a shot. It is only 9:43 a.m. after all). I am anxious over silly things, which usually means there’s something big bothering me that my subconscious doesn’t want to deal with. I don’t like anxiety. I hope it goes away soon.

I am literally pooping unicorns and rainbows today. Oh, I am so very happy. First, a very special someone offered me a very special opportunity that is just so amazing and that I unfortunately cannot talk about (just know that I am dying of happiness inside). Second, I went in for a hair appointment today, and my hairstylist, Theresa, is just the bombdiggity. For real. I’m kind of obsessed with her. And her streak of hot pink hair.

HOWEVER. My stomach does NOT like me today. BLEHBLEHBLEH.

We are having an Indian summer of sorts here in the Cuse.

And I really don’t like it*

(*you can hold this against me in March, when it’s still slushy and freezing and gray and gross)

I just feel like I want it to get colder. You know?

I want,

Starbucks hot cocoa,

Holiday music (baby it’s cold outside),

Snow! (and cute mittens and coats and hats),

Icicles,

Christmas lights

and,

A skiing getaway.

This would all be so nice.

photos via: one, two, three, four, five, six.

p.s. I am looking to follow new blogs. Hit me up with recommendations. Yes.

On the agenda for today: (1) get out of bed (it’s COLD) (2) buy sweaters (it’s COLD) (3) go to the gym (4) buy this really awesome tie-dye shirt at the bookstore (I may have a shopping problem) (5) dress up as Twiggy for Halloween (!) (and try my hardest not to drink tonight because that ain’t doing my Crohn’s any favors if you know what I mean…)

I’ll be recreating this look…

p.s. I may or may not be going to Saint Petersburg next summer. Katie! (Looks like Moscow is far away, though…)

I think sometimes I get sad and sometimes I get overwhelmed because the world is so freaking beautiful.

p.s. guess who I get to meet in two days! My puppy!

p.p.s. whoever commented on my last post that my mother cannot possibly hate me because she is my mother – yes, that’s what I thought too, and how I wish it were true…but I don’t need to explain myself to anyone, especially over the internet. My mother did cruel, sick and twisted things to me and I don’t deserve to suffer from that anymore.
