rainboots are a good investment

because it has rained almost every day for the last month. and it doesn't look like it's going to stop. luckily i'm in love with my hunters and it actually makes me smile a bit when i see rain because i know i get to wear them. {how lame, i know}

* i will explain that the giant black spot on my knee is not some crazy birth mark, but rather the result of a very intoxicated liz over the weekend, in case you were wondering.

brightened my day. 

you fit me better than my favourite sweater

can't stop. won't stop. will not stop.
been on repeat maybe forty times today. 

hurricane sandy, bring it.

two sweaters. three pairs of socks. winter mitts. baseball cap. wool circle scarf. rain boots. windbreaker. water resistant leggings. this is what one had to wear tonight to walk to the dining hall tonight. things are getting legit over here.

so i must be living under a rock or something because i just found out that there's a little hurricane planning on stoping by tonight. perfect. can the power please go out and there be tremendous amounts of flooding so i don't have to write my midterm tomorrow? please and thank you xx.

contentment: a state of happiness and satisfaction

found this gem today. i miss my turtle friend. and being on vacation. 

the moments just before falling asleep are my favourite. i am all cozied up under my duvet in my most comfortable pyjamas. listening to the calming hum of the fan. surrounded by darkness. the business of the day is over for a while. everything seems peaceful. i can't help but think in these moments just how blessed i am. i am so thankful for this stage in my life. university has turned out to be so amazing in so many different ways. i am so happy that i ended up at this university, in this residence, surrounded by all my new friends. everything seems to have worked out for a reason. everything in life right now is fun. worries are scarce. life is truly beautiful.

because i have two midterms to study for and because i though this was cute. 

under the weatherrr

this has been me the last couple of days. drinking tea by the litre. wearing old gym tshirts and sweats. cozied up in bed. watching vampire diaries. #yolo. i keep hoping this pounding-headache-lungs-the-weight-of-bricks-death-cough of a cold will go away but it seems to not agree with me, and in resentment only gets worse. #lovinglife. oh, one bit of exciting news. my ombre hair is gone. i have returned to the dark brown. it was just too hipster for me.
