{watching you}

i'm just going to go ahead and out myself as a tv addict. i don't mean i'm a couch potato who flips through channels all day. mostly i am just an avid follower of a few (or more) certain shows. and it might be pathetic that i {sometimes} put off my homework for an hour of trashy television but really this is what gets me through life.  Here is my weekly round up:

Gossip Girl

Hart of Dixie

The Bachelor

Pretty Little Liars

One Tree Hill

90210

New Girl

Glee

Happy Endings

Revenge

Bones

Grey's Anatomy

and you could throw a few irregulars in there like private practice and desperate housewives just to make the list all that much longer. thats what like half a day's worth of time spent on tv? 

i know, i'm pathetic.

{keeping calm}

you guys. i hate these things. like despise. you know, i first became acquainted with "keep calm and carry on" when i was living in london. because you know thats where it came from. and where it was actually used as a war poster to up the morale of the country. pretty cool. now it's mostly over used and completely annoying. 

but whatever. because everyone deserves to be a little hypocritical every now and then.

 and this is my life right now

every morning when i wake up and feel like crying because of the 20 credits {and two jobs} on my plate this semester i just have to focus on April 19th. 

and of course this overused mantra

{i give alyssa credit for finding this picture. i met her the first day of my college career and now we are suffering through senioritis together. i swear we will make it.}

just counting down

{blackout}

i believe in freedom

{just doing my part}

{alternatives}

you know when it is supposed to be winter except it hasn't snowed yet and christmas felt like september and the mountains look like june? thats when you really need to find things to keep you occupied in the 30 degree weather and smog.

like these things that are making me pretty happy right about now. 

like this article i hope to remember one day when i have kids. because heaven knows we all have body issues. 

and this song. i think that who ever decided t-swift and the civil wars should collaborate was definitely on the right track. 

this website has saved me half a million dollars (practically) and about 50 pounds off my shoulders (literally). thank heavens for e-books. 

i've recently been obsessed with this cover from my favorite warbler. thank you real-life prince eric. 

plus i am trying my hardest to become a good wife and actually cook dinner. made this excellent dish the other day and we loved it. 

but if those don't work, here is a picture to remind us of the way life used to be. 

found here

maybe someday.

{glory}

i'll admit.

i have a minor obsession with jay-z and beyonce.

{but i'm not ashamed}

because really what isn't there to love about the pair?

they are both musical geniuses, beautiful and besties with chris and gwyneth.

And even though they are celebrities and I don't really know them at all, I couldn't be more thrilled for their new addition. 

all I know is baby blue is pretty lucky to have jay-z write a song about her.

not a bad way to start your life

listen here. even blue has an appearance. 

i can't get enough

{resolutions}

{say everything}

after a six-month hiatus from the world of blogging, i have returned.

i promised myself to make a solid effort towards this beauty since it is the only way i document my life.

and i never want to forget the way things are

and further, i promise you (whoever you are) that this blog will be full of grammatical errors, random thoughts, interesting findings, rambles and whatever else i happen come up with. no apologies.
