Moments and Miles

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2014

I was going to write a cliché “19 things I learned by 19” or something post on the blog today, but the thing is, I don’t really measure time in years anymore. I don’t think I ever did. Let’s be honest here, I have a Party Time helium tank in my room because I love balloons so much and I can make cupcakes anytime I please. I want to celebrate every day of my existence! Being alive is neat. All of my 19 revolutions around the sun all somehow mesh together and become moments in my mind. That’s how I sort through time: with moments and miles. My birthday is also at a really awkward time of year when all my friends are spending time with their families (and like 90% of my friends don’t live in my town) so guess what that means! 9am bubble baths and candles just because I can! Breakfast is consisting of pizza and wings; lunch is red velvet cake; then we’ll be off to FINALLY see Mockingjay Pt 1, then dinner will be all the chips and salsa at my fav Mexican place, and finally, the best part of my day: movies, and ice cream by the pint with my mom. Best of all, I can walk around in my favorite combination of pink fur and sequins with balloons trailing me and nobody can question it! Except I actually wore this outfit yesterday when I actually shot it…. I haven’t even put pants on today. I LOVE BIRTHDAYS. So even though today is completely irrelevant to you and the rest of the world, I’m going thoroughly enjoy all of this food, and all of the amazing people (and cats) surrounding me. Including you all!

Also, quick blogging update: Sisterhood Redefined has chosen me as one of their new writers! Wooooo. I will be posting to their lovely blog which mainly focuses on Greek life and college life– fashion, sisterhood, recipes, DIY… okay so basically everything. My first post will be up on January fifth! I’m truly excited to test the depths of my writing a bit more and expand my horizons. (and writing portfolio haha!)

ANNNNDDD also, Her Campus has chosen me to be a part of their wonderful blogger network! I’m absolutely ecstatic to be a part of something that will help me grow as a blogger and connect with other girls like me. I’ll keep you posted!

I love you all! Wear sparkles, blow up some balloons, and eat cake just because you can for me today! LIFE.
