falling through



day 261

(My two favorite necklaces.)

I feel so bad not putting forth any effort into this project. I guess it's one of those phases that always comes with doing a 365, but it's so frustrating because I want to actually spend more than two minutes on a photo. I took this literally thirty seconds before I went to bed. It's not that I'm forgetting to take a photo, it's just that I don't really feel like doing it. Hopefully tonight I'll get a good self portrait in, because I haven't really done a creative self portrait that wasn't tied to an outfit photoshoot since day 233. That's almost a whole month. It's not that I love taking pictures of myself for its own sake, just that it's incredibly therapeutic and I need that in my life. So I'm planning on taking a creative picture tonight--crossing my fingers that the ceramics lab will be empty when I go.

Other than feeling guilty about letting the 365 project fall through the cracks, I'm the happiest I have been in a long time. It's funny because I really questioned if college was right for me, but went because that's what you're supposed to do after high school (plus I didn't have a "real" job and didn't really want to live with my parents ... sorry Mom and Dad, haha), but going to college and specifically my college was definitely the right decision. I love it so much here. And on that note, I'm off to not be distracted by the internet but instead do some homework. Wish me luck!

chasing light


dress (underneath)/skirt/lace shirt: thrifted // leggings/shoes: target




Look at my hair! After I dyed the ends purple, everyone dyed theirs blue, so when they did touchups another night, I decided to dye a strip blue! It's so much fun and makes me smile every time I see it.






While I was walking to class in this outfit, there was a tour group of Asians going into the building I needed to go into (we have an exchange program and I really love it). And two men stayed outside the building and took pictures of me with their giant cameras! It was insane and I was slightly creeped out. So I'm probably on some random Chinese street style blog. Heck yeah man!




Hope you guys have an awesome day!


our marks



day 260




Today at coffee my friends and I were trying to figure out what day we did something, and when we came to the conclusion that it was actually only a few days ago, it was crazy because we all could have sworn it was a week ago. The days are so long and the weeks are so short, it's hard to believe we are already going into our fourth week of school. That's a whole month I've been in college. On the one hand it feels like I've been here forever; on the other hand, it's just been a couple of days. Time is such a funny thing.

And if I wasn't so terrified of needles, I think I would be one of those people who would be addicted to tattooing myself. So don't worry Dad!
