i had my first one of these in a while last night—dreaming that it was the day to turn in my photography final and i just, i don’t know, had never started on it. and i made up some brilliant excuses and got an extension and was working on this really great project but i just felt legitimately terrible for the rest of the dream and even for a while after i woke up.

it’s especially dumb because i already know my semester grades, i got an a in photography, and my final project was (apparently) fine, but for whatever reason my brain just decided to make me feel really yucky about it. so unfair.

today when we were driving around town, a baby praying mantis decided to say hi.

Ride dat otterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

most people say their high school years were “awkward”. i would say mine were “majestic”.

you know what’s nuts? i’m going to be twenty in like three days. you know what else is nuts? would you believe that this is my FIFTH annual birthday list? because it is. i wasn’t necessarily planning to do it this year, but my parents (who stalk me on tumblr because they’re wonderful; hi mom, hi dad) were inquiring about what i wanted for my birthday. so let’s just get this yearly celebration of my materialistic streak taken care of now while it’s fresh in my mind.

1. essie “come here!” from the 2013 resort collection.
2. a haircut.
3. a coffee frapp, since my birthday happens to be the last day of frappuccino happy hours this year. solid timing, starbz.
4. greyhound tickets so i can go visit my friends that stayed in atlanta and are probably having SO MUCH FUN WITHOUT ME RIGHT NOW. #FOMO
5. soft jersey maxi skirts and sundresses, which i would literally live in if i had the chance.
6. i still need tennis shoes. red keds would look so cute with my so not-cute ol uniform.
7. deb perelman’s cookbook. or any of the myriad cookbooks on my amazon wishlist. i have a problem.

so that’s it. happy birthday to moi!

this will probably be my last #college post for a while, since i’m going home in like 9 hours, but i just wanted to share the last thing i turned in this semester…
as i was sitting in starbucks today with my suitemate, pretending to study for the bio exam i was taking in an hour, i remembered that my prof said we could make something—anything—that was creative and related to biology and turn it in for extra credit.

this is the result. that is some majestic poetry, right there.

also, this is how my final portfolio ended up looking when i put it up this morning. it’s alright.
