Awkfest 2k13

Who runs the blog world? Erin, I suppose is the answer to both. Not only is she my favorite person to sponsor but THE FIRST blog I've ever followed (way back when).  Speaking of way back when, thanks to this beautiful rockstar of a lady, I decided to follow in her footsteps and tell you all about the big 2k13 for me. Too much has happened in just 12 months, yet it seems like it was centuries ago. I'm talking like the days of Salem Witch Trials stuff.


January: I made my first EVER blog post. I decided to start blogging because I was bored with too much time on my hands during winter break, and my boyfo at the time was M.I.A in college sports land. I blogged only 4 times (which is hilarious because thats what I do AND MORE in a week) during the month of January and thankfully things that are still relevant in my life (i.e Carrie Diaries/Mindy Kaling/Finding my happiness) In real life, I got to see old friends and be a bum. And brought in the New Year with bofo at the time and his posse. Cool shit, I know.

February: Celebrated my first Valentines day in a relationship. I was so excited, I basically craft-vommed everywhere. I loved my fun gifts and celebrating with the guy I thought was forever mine (What is this, Taylor Swift sadness takeover?) and enjoyed hibernated from the cold weather. Sandy Cheeks style. I also went through formal sorority recruitment to find out, that wasn't the life for me. Oh and I also drank too much beer out of frat kegs. Basically, February was madness. The end.

March: Warmer weather, Track formal, and the first I love you. I get this post isn't about my past relationship, but it made up 80% of my 2013. (read: Can you tell why I'm ready for 2014 to blow my mind!?) I also was ready for a change, and turned my good ole head of hair back to brunette. At this point, I decided I wasn't happy with my college decision and wanted to look into transferring. #WHYRACHELWHY. In March, I decided to buy Blog Inc and dive head first into blogging. YAY.

April: After talking to my parents about a much needed trip away from real life, I was off to Michigan to visit an old friend. I was so excited to go yet nothing more exciting than trips for food really happened. The struggle was real. A week later (what was school?) I was off to Boston for my cousins BEAUTIFUL wedding (+ got to see my best friend, too!)

May: Bye bye school, hello full time blogging. I started blog designing, DIYing, and preparing to shake it for my man Luke ;) I also ate a ton of peanut butter ice cream, watched/started my relationship with netflix, and enjoyed the first of my summer at the beach. I also decided then that I would be changing schools in the fall.

June: I loved June at the time, but looking back I could have done without. I became a normal (whatever that means) at blogging which was probably the best part of it all. I celebrated my one year at the Phillies game (in beautiful weather), as well as jammed my petite heart out to Lukey-poo until my voice was no more. A few weeks later I was back at it again, except this time, singing my drunken heart out to every Dave Matthews Band song possible with a great group of people by my side.


July: If I just started with Segway would that suffice? I rode a segway for a three day job, I met my blog bestie, Lauren and fell in love instantly. I traveled to DC to double date the shit out of it afor the night with Lauren +beaus. I had the time of my life in just a quick span of 24 hours, and met someone I know will be in my life for  awhile! Did I mention I took ten giant grandpa steps in the right direction and changed my blog name to Sunshine and Sinatra then? Crazy stuff, I can't even.

August: Best yet worst month. Only way to describe it.
Bests because...birthday celebrations, I met Miss USA and died like ten times and went to Miss Universe land every time, I celebrated my 100th post, went to school, made the best chocolate covered gummy bears in existence, and teamed up with Kensie Clothing to try out my first giveaway on le blog!
Worst because...BREAKUPS. Breakups suck. We don't even need to touch on this stupid waste of my life besides the fact I was a dramatic little girl about it and decided to post this. A post that is outrageous yet one of my posts with the most comments in ever.

September: Started school and loved every second *It's going to be easy she thought. Try it they said, it will be fun* NO YOU LIED. I had my first *outing* with a dude as a single girl. Vomskis to the max. I also decided to download the tind. We all know it goes downhill from here...

October: Celebrated the celebration out of pageant weekend. #NotSorry. As well as tried out the whole "meeting guys from tinder in real life" situation...which soon turned into a problem.

November: Probably my favorite month of all 2k13 months there are (That would be 12...ding ding ding...we have a winnter!). I went to Canada (Hiya, Noah!) and was as legal as us human species can be. I got to play with the slot machines that are surrounded by grandmas who don't do much else with their lives as well as order beers on beers with meals. Solid. Before Canada, I was able to meet my soon-to-be/now other half, Rachael! Then two weeks later it was off to florida to enjoy the warm weather stand in weather that felt like I was just at home anyway. Did I mention I met my future boyfriend? AND he kissed me on the cheek?


December: Here we are. I can't believe a year has gone by because it honestly feels as if I've been stuck in this year since 'Nam and before.  Currently loving: Beyonce's new album, trying to learn how to save money, and going on some dates with cute guys.
