FIVE DAYS


















   

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
ATTENTION: THERE ARE ONLY 5 DAYS WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH  UNTIL SPRING
BREAK. 5  D A Y S.

It's going to be stressful week full of impatience, groaning and eye rolling. I made a playlist of the tracks I've been listening to lately. These are just my favorites (maybe soon I'll make a longer one ?) I'm going to have them on replay all week in hopes of feeling a tad bit excited!

Another reason to feel excited (and a little stressed) is because on Wednesday Alex and I are going to a concert! We are going to see Palma Violets play for the second time! We will have plenty of pictures and video (hopefully) to make a post about it!

Anyway, I wish you the best if, like us, you're trying to make it out alive for spring break.

WE CAN DO THIS *arm muscle emoji*

YOUTH








  These are some photos of a random drive we took! I also played around with a new app called PosterLabs. That's where I made the first picture on this post! I think it's really fun to use and a lot more stylish than other collage apps I've used.

In other news, there are a lot of drafts in queue for these coming weeks! And also spring break is in two weeks so there will be new videos!! I'm very excited for all that's coming.

REMINDERS


   This quote reminded me that it's important to do what makes me happy and to do it now (instead of later). Most of January and all of February I was bored .Just plain out bored with everything. Don't get me wrong, I love school but it's the only thing I've been concentrating on this year. I don't want to keep being bored but I literally don't have time to focus on anything else. Alex and I actually went three whole weekends without being mischievous together because we were too tired. LIKE WHAT EVEN?

It's important to stay focused on my future but I don't want to completely ignore the present. I've decided that I refuse to drag on through the days until I get to my career/lifestyle goals. A balance between the present and the future is what I need. In hopes of obtaining that balance here are a few things I'm going to keep in mind this month.






 1. NO SETTLING. Not even for coffee. Tea. lemonade. Whatever it is. It has to be a good drink. Life sucks too much to have a bad drink in hand This goes for food as well. Don't eat anything that isn't satisfying to you. That's a lost opportunity to eat/drink something that makes you happy and I honestly don't have time for that.


2. GOOD ATTITUDE. Staying creative is something difficult to do. Especially with my negative attitude. So GOODBYE bad attitude HELLO good attitude. It probably won't be, like, the best attitude at first but ya know baby steps. It's the effort that counts, right?



3. ORGANIZATION IS IMPORTANT. I need to write every thing down. Seriously, I've reset my Apple ID like 12 times because I can't remember the damn password. I've also forgotten some decent ideas that could have become great ideas for the blog, insert sad emoji, which I regret the most.


Thanks for reading!

Sometimes you need a break.

   These past few weeks Carolina and I have been immersed in school work. We have been staying at home to sleep and get homework done (on Sunday because lets face it, Saturdays are for sleeping). College has really kicked our ass. They're not lying when they say college is A LOT of work!
   We're not saying its extremely difficult and that you should consider taking a different route, but what we are saying is that if you're going to do it make sure you stay committed. Sometimes you're going to feel really unworthy and down in the dumps, but what you need is a time out with your galls. Friday, we went to a new coffee shop in Long Beach, Rose Park Roasters. It was so Instagram worthy but it was a hot day and it was super crowded so we chose to walk down the street. We found ourselves in a part of Long Beach known as retro row. If you're ever in the area and in serious need of some mid-century art, clothing, furniture, or just want the ultimate Barber Shop experience you must must must take a walk down 4th street in Long Beach. Super stoked I found 3 mid-century furniture stores but not stoked to find out they were so expensive!! I nearly dropped my iced coffee. The day turned out well we took and Uber home because we walked 3 miles, not about that bus lyf. On Saturday (following day) we decided to head up to our local gallery and catch up, ya know since we've been hermit crabs all month long. But yet the universe was against us leaving on time so we showed up AFTER it closed. Our day automatically had no climax so we drove around town instead. SAD PART IS WE LOOKED FAB all we wanted was to look at some great art. (angry emoji here) We weren't about to leave without an impromptu photoshoot so here ya go! At least you lovely people get to appreciate my effort of dressing up and getting out of my bedroom.
