new york city girl

City streets buzzing with taxi's honking and the constant clack of heels, cigarette smoke hanging heavy in the air, masses of bodies hustling past at all hours, coffee shops around every corner, dark and musty subway stations beneath you...

I feel like my New York City dreams have passed what's considered "daydreaming" and entered more into the realm of "constant-state-of-mind." I couldn't pray any harder about one of these internships in NYC working out if I tried. At this point, I'd give nearly anything to be living in the city doing what I love. Ever since my visit two summers ago, I've been even more city-crazed than before. Visiting was like a short glimpse into what I hoped my future would hold...and what I still hope it holds.
No matter how much work it takes, I'm certain I'll get there. I just hope it's sooner rather than later!

Edit: Just found out today that regardless of whether any of the internships work out, I'm still heading up to the city with my best friend Maggie for about a week or so! Yay!

iced coffee weather

I can't believe it's already short-dress/iced-coffee/100-degree weather. Spring was what....2 weeks long? I can't believe how quickly my senior year is flying by. So many things have come and gone and I'm just left thinking, "Why didn't I stop to appreciate that more?" I'm going through the whole "this-is-my-last-time-to-ever-do-this" phase with just about everything school related. And don't get me wrong, I'm more than ready to be out of high school....but it's so strange thinking about all the things I've done nearly every day for four years, I'll never do again. With three weeks 'til graduation, just about everything is coming to a close.
.....and as I was typing this, I just realized I still haven't found a graduation dress. Probably should get on that.

striped saturday

After having to deal with losing an hour of sleep from daylight savings + coming back to school after spring break, I am exhausted. This has felt like the longest week ever.  We finished our second to last issue of the school newspaper, prom is getting stressful, I'm rushing to finish scholarship applications, and it just feels like everything is all happening at once! I thought second semester of senior year was supposed to be easy....whoever said that is a liar.
I'm really and truly sorry for slacking a bit on blogging. I'm trying to pick up the pace a bit :')

For everyone who's just starting Spring Break, enjoy! And for those of you still trying to recover from SB like me, get some rest this weekend!!
