Peanut Butter, Sunburn, & Bloggin'.

I can't believe...

...I helped my blog bestie, Erica, and revamped her WHOLE entire blog for her! She was so excited too which made me super duper happy! I'd be more than happy to help you, too!

...Luke Bryan is in 3 days. Celebrating my one year is in 4. Actual one year is in 5!

I think I'm forever going to love the first weekend in June!

Here's what I did this MDW weekend:

Died my hair darker. And cut it shorter...still slowly growing into the length...

Sat outside, read Gatsby, and got burnt (which I don't mind but I get yelled at by everyone because it's so bad). Oh! I got a pedi too which was beyond beyond needed so that was fun!

It might look like throw up (icky, sorry) but IT'S NOT! It's 'Peanut Butter Twirl' ice cream I got at B's new summer job! so jealous of him because he gets left overs at the end of the night. I sent him this picture of my finished ice cream (read: He usually finishes my ice cream for me....9/10 times) to prove how awesome I am.

...Tuesday was the first day in forever I didn't watch at least one episode of Greek. I am still mourning Casey and Max's relationship. Already in the middle of season 3, and there's only 4 seasons. Cue waterfall of tears.

(ICB) : Gatsby

I cant believe...

I just saw The Great Gatsby last night. 

Honestly, I had waaay too high of expectations for the movie. I've adore the book since I was forced to read it junior year of high school. I was counting down the minutes all day until I got to see the movie. I even chose to stay up late last night even though I didn't get any sleep the night before. Yep, literally about 3 hours of sleep the night before. Thats dedication.

My favorite part of the movie? Costumes and settings. The Buchanan and Gatsby's house holds were to die for. Even Nicks, too! Such a cute little cottage. 

What I wasn't too crazy about? The filming. They tried to make it 'too modern'. Also as much as I love the soundtrack before seeing the movie, I personally feel like the current music took away from the era given to the story.

I can now see why critics didn't rate it so well, but I recommend it to you and it's something you do NOT want to miss!

Have you seen it? What do you think?

ICB...

...it's already wednesday! Sorry for the delayed post. Usually, I have them prewritten before they go live but this one I'm being pretty risky about! I've been all worried about finals, and transitioning of schools but today is wednesday and I couldn't be happier. I can finally exhale of all this stress.

I cant believe...

...Boyfriend came to visit last night! After two long months of no cuddling...I don't think I've missed sharing a single sized college dorm bed! It was great to see him and it makes me so excited for this summer!

...I am academically starting to become stress free! I finished my final paper early since I cannot procrastinate at all because I will frantically pace and cry until I finish it. All I have left is to study for a final and boom! Freshman year will be officially over. Weird.

...I've been putting off my Boston trip post! I want to share my pictures with you all but I've just been flat out lazy, sorry!

...how easily upset I get sometimes. Thats why I chose the quote above. "Find joy in your frustrations." I think anyone can agree that relationships have difficult moments in time but when you sit down to think about it, you couldn't see yourself doing anything with anyone else. I think at the end of the day thats what makes everything so special to me!

...how AMAZING Erin over at Love Fun and Football is! She totally revamped my blog and I'm so thrilled it looks craaaaazy awesome! I definitely recommend her if your looking for a blog change. She was so easy to work with, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted and wouldn't stop til it was. I think that is amazing customer service and she also has inexpensive prices! The blog that inspired me to contact her was Robin's (@ The Sunshine Diary). Go check out her work! And her blog!

...ONE MONTH TIL LUKE BRYAN, FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE, AND THOMPSON SQUARE. Ok, caps were not necessary but I hope you can see how excited I am!!!! I'm going with some of my best friends, new and old, and some that I haven't seen in over a year! Seriously no better way to start my summer. 

yummmm!

I cant believe...

First off, I cannot believe my school year is coming to a close and it is MAY!

(first time reality GIF user over here....but it's very fitting)

I can't believe...I'm honestly deciding to share with you some weird facts about myself that you would have never been able to pick out. I thought this would be a fun post to do, since its been on my mind for a while so yahoo! Enjoy! I hope you don't think I'm too strange by the end and you unfollow (ha ha ha...)

1. I always find myself walking ahead of people by myself, no matter the group size. Even if its one other person, I just decide to walk ahead. I'm not sure if its my ginormous hatred against crowds or I'm very impatient...either way you can find me about 10 feet ahead of you. Regardless if I know where I'm headed or not, I just keep on truckin'. People think it's so strange since I miss out on conversations or instant insiders, but I'd rather be ahead of the game. I guess I'm a leader?...hm....

2. I paint my nails and pick my nail polish off like its my job. When I was a kid, like many others, I used to pick my nails (EW RIGHT!). Yea, well I grew out of that so instead of doing that when I'm nervous/excited/anxious/etc, I just pick my nail polish off and redo it all over again. What a fun time right?

3. I literally cannot eat anything without getting a stomach ache. I have THE worlds most sensitive stomach yet I'm not allergic to anything. I however used to be lactose intolerant but I just love ice cream way way way too much to ever give it up. 

4. In my about me, I stated that I hate odd number. Yep, thats still true!

What are some weird hidden facts about you? Do share!! (who doesn't love blog comments?)

P.s: deff going to start to use more GIF's.....they're so fun!

I can't believe...

...I have one more week after this left of classes! Freshman year is almost over and summer is literally right around the corner!

...The Great Gatsby comes out so soon! I've been a fan for so long and my sweet 16 theme was The Great Gatsby. Yep, I wore a flapper dress (that I wish I still had).  Checkout the soundtrack list...Im waaaaay too excited!

(read: sorry for my ugly expression. I'm not too sure what I was thinking either..)

...I just went spray tanning. And I smell so icky! Beauty is pain...or a lack of smelling good basically..

...That I've been at this constant blogging thing for over a month! If you are reading this and you have any blog advice on anything I'd love to hear! 

Who are my favorite blogs?

Robin (who I linked up with today), Erin, and Kayla! 

...Alyssa, Miss USA 2011, totally shouted me out in her recent interview at the Shorty Awards. Safe to say every time I watch it I can't help but smile!

...I just remember the movie My Date With The Presidents Daughter! Does anyone remember it? It was on Disney Channel but it was such a classic! The song was pretty darn catchy too..listen!

Uhhhh what is she wearing!

Come back on friday! I have an exciting post to share! 

I can't believe....

I can't believe...this week is filled with being super busy! Today I have an exam, a job interview for the summer (fingers crossed), and tomorrow I'm off to Michigan! Super ah! Still so unsure of what I should even be packing. Knowing me I'll pack like I'm going to be gone for a month, yet it's four days...

I cant believe...I saw my best friend (read: boyfriend) on friday! Although it was for a few hours, it was totally worth it. One more month to go!

I can't believe...I took risks. I usually have a pretty open minded attitude towards a lot of things, but sometimes I can become really hesitant. My close friends and family have told me I should break out of my comfort zone a little bit, and I'm thrilled with my results! :)

I can't believe...I'm actually starting to grow into my hair color! Hooray for not blondes! (...never thought I'd be saying that one. Ever.)

I can't believe...I wear one way to many striped shirts for my own good. See: instagram!

I can't believe...how muchhhhh of a happier person I become during spring and ultimately summer! Everything around me just brings me serious happiness! I'm not one to be a morning person in the winter, but once warm weather comes upon us, I jump right out of bed and the non-morning people shun me...gotta love it!

How cute is this postcard? Found it off of this weeks Sunday Secrets!

I can't believe

Happy wednesday!

I cant believe...I got such awesome feedback from my first 'I can't believe' post last wednesday! I am so excited to be a part of Robin's link up from now on, I just need to keep up with it! I am starting to really get involved into the blogosphere which is waaay exciting! I love networking! Although I have few followers, my views have doubled within the past week and I couldn't be happier with the way it is going! I've found so many new blogs from looking at others, and the blog world is just filled with happy and great people! Yay! Interested in who I'm following? Check out my bloglovin!

I can't believe...I actually put my foot down, took my own advice! I feel so much better about things now!

I can't believe...it's been almost a month since I've seen my boyfriend....and it will be almost one month til I see him again! I'm so excited that he's coming to see the Great Gatsby with me! (What a great guy...! & Hello favorite book!)

I can't believe...I found the cutest video of a yorkie puppy ever, courtesy of my beau. look! Not sure how he found it or what he was looking for when he came upon this, but I am hoping for a puppy someday soon...especially a small one! It makes me so happy!

I can't believe....this past week, I finally saw 'Like Crazy'. It starred Jennifer Lawrence pre famous-ness. Yep, just made up my own word/phrase. At the beginning and end it was pretty slow but the middle made my heart melt. It was all about long distance and trying to make it work...from opposite ends of the world aka London and Los Angeles! I know I shouldn't complain about two hours away, but I can never imagine doing long distance that far apart! Regardless of the slower parts, I do recommend any girl who likes a good movie to cry about while shoving 100 calorie packs of popcorn down her throat. (read: me. Totally guilty)

I can't believe...there is only a month left of my freshman year of college! More thrilled than anything, surprisingly, I am ready (hopefully) to start somewhere brand new in the fall - still deciding what the right choice will be. 

I can't believe...that my parents offered to book me a flight to Michigan, yet I didn't think about visiting Florida. This jersey weather has been a roller-coaster! One day 60 degrees and sunny -- next day it's in the 40's and pajama's and movie all day weather. All in all, I'm more than pumped to see some of my best friends!

I can't believe...I'm finally getting back into pinterest. There was a month or so where I was too lazy to look up DIY's and plan my future wedding, but boy have I missed it! Head on over to see some of my favorites!

Make sure you check out Robin's blog! I love sunshine, preppy outfits, and florida weather!

I can't believe (the start of it all)

Thanks to Robin at The Sunshine Diary, she has forever inspired me to become the classy, real life, up to date blogger that I want to become! She has this awesome post every wednesday titled I can't believe... It's just an awesome topic, as well as conversation starter, so stay up to dates with mine too! (Note: these posts are also going to be link-ups with her!) If you check out her blog and don't fall in love, I recommend you reread the post you read.

"I can't believe...."

I can't believe...that it is FINALLY April! It has a lot of exciting things heading my way such as a trip to Michigan then Boston, to see friends and also enjoy a family wedding! The Michigan plan was just put together last week with the help of my parents for a random, super early birthday gift! I am so pumped to visit my friends at their school and reunite with them since most of them I haven't seen in over a year and a half!

I can't believe...that my favorite channel to watch while relaxing is HGTV. Favorite show? House Hunters International. I love when they travel to far off places that I've only dreamed about visiting! Also my favorite part of the show is to try to guess which house they are going to go for! I've always been fond of interior design...Probably due to my constant playing of The Sims for hours on end during middle school. So guilty of that.

I can't believe...that I'm starting to partake in things that are good for me! Like going to the gym every day if possible! I went four days in a row last week which is crazy if you knew how much physical activity I enjoy to get (read: zero to none). I do like how after I work out I feel really good about myself and it takes out all my anger and stress.

I can't believe...I finally got Luke Bryan tickets!!! What a great way to start the summer. What makes it even better? Florida Georgia Line. 

Heeeellooooo beautiful!

I can't believe...how I forgot that the weather impacts my moods so much! I am such a warm weather girl, being born in the summer, it always excites me the first day that it hits above 55 degrees and the sun is shining without a cloud in the sky!

I can't believe...I just discovered this song! So catchy and makes me want summer. now!
