Last Saturday my friends and I went to the beach! I snapped a whole bunch of photos as there are no proper beaches in Alaska and I was beyond excited to go. (I even took film photos, which have yet to be developed.) It was the perfect sunny day as we drove over to Pacific City, Oregon through the winding country hillside singing along to mainstream music at the top of our lungs and feeling absolutely amazing.
My friends and I finally got to the beach, where we played in the water for about five seconds because it was so cold, explored the dunes and caves for seashells and cool rocks, and laid out in the sun talking and laughing. I even kept some of our findings which are now sitting happily on my desk in my little home.

Who knew I could love so deeply as I love these girls in such a short time that we've known each other. They fill my heart with such joy and I'm so glad I've gotten to know them.

Because I didn't do anything creative with pictures today, here is a sneak peak of my dorm room!
day 246
Today's photo will be up as soon as I finish taking it. ;) College is seriously so much fun. Yesterday I didn't have time to upload this because I was busy dying of laughter with my friends.

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to show you my new hair! I've always wanted to dye my hair but my parents never let me (while I was living with them), so once I got to college of course I had to turn into a rebellious teenager and dye my hair! (Don't worry, my parents, even though they didn't really like the idea, said I could do it.) My roommate Annette did it for me in the dorm bathroom while the rest of our floor watched. It was definitely really exciting and scary because I have never dyed my hair before. But I absolutely love it! It's crazy enough to make a statement, but still somewhat professional-ish-kind-of-sort-of because it's not over-the-top purple. I'm in love.
This is the first of two dresses I sewed over the summer (the second one still is incomplete), and I really love being able to wear something completely unique. Plus, who doesn't love wearing a cute ice cream/popsicle dress?
Also my friend Jenna showed me how to do newspaper nails! It's actually super easy. All you do is paint your nails, let them dry completely, then dip the nail in rubbing alcohol for about six seconds. Put the newspaper over it and hold it there for about twenty seconds, take it off, apply a top coat, and you're done! It's magic.
Hope you guys have an awesome day!
