barter systems

so I found out recently that my cousins (Saylor and Makena) and I can share clothes and shoes. and mostly whatever else. which says a lot for the 3 of us. I think it's saying that we're all 3 skinny, stylish girls. am I right? it pretty much triples my wardrobe, too. I mean obviously I can't wear a 10 year old's jeans, but shirts and elastic skirts? definitely. (I only say those things because I have wide birthing hips, and she doesn't)

anyway, pretty awesome.

also, I've been thinking a lot about school. I know. I just got done with school, so why would I think of such absurd things? and how does that tie in with barter systems? (the above paragraph should answer that question, fyi.) well, continuing education is definitely in my future. I've always wanted that. but some decisions and thought-processes lately have kind of put it farther up on my priority list, I guess. but I haven't gotten very far, because...well...I don't know what to study. kind of a problem, right?

so here I am. again. thinking about school, and typing out these thoughts about school, but getting nowhere. it's a little bit frustrating, as you can probably imagine.

anyway, my friend Spencer showed me this photography website of just B&W shots. they're incredible. seriously. I got goosebumps.

boredom advice?

hello.

I have some important information for you:

if you are at work, have access to the internet, and don't have much to do, DON'T SHOP.


because before you know it, you're entire paycheck is half gone, and you don't even have that much to show for it.

(okay, this didn't really happen to me, but still... I was almost to that point.)

so, if this applies to you, find a free game and get addicted to that. or blog? pinterest, even? ...whichever is most appealing.

they even say planning a vacation is good (even a fake vacation). and good for you. in the sense that it stimulates happy chemicals in your body. and who doesn't want that? I'll tell you something--spending money, even when you get cute fun things, does not always stimulate happy chemicals. remember that.

also, will someone explain to me what the hell this is???:


sorry, I wish it could be smaller. but seriously? what is the point of wearing this? I found it on forever21. yeah. I know. what in the world...

real life adult.

what does that even mean? being a real life adult... I feel like it's loaded with a bunch of stereotypical adjectives and expectations. but then again, I'm not really even sure what all those expectations are. I guess I know what other people expect of me, but what do I expect of myself? I've been a college graduate for over a month now, and I still haven't even figured out all that I want to do next. not that I'm in any sort of hurry, I have my whole life ahead of me, but still. it's nice to have some sort of plan, right? I got a job (yay!), so I can cross that off my list. but really, that's all I have figured out. I at least have some ideas (some of which I'm not fully comfortable posting yet) that I'm pretty excited about. most of which involve pinterest. I've been "repinning" craft ideas all freakin summer long, and now that I have time to spare that I don't have to fill with schoolwork, I can finally start working on some of those. at the same time, I'm thinking to myself, "when in the hell am I gonna have time for all of this stuff?". I'm sure I will though. I get bored a lot these days. I also created a movie list (which is sort of MIA at the moment, otherwise I'd share it) of movies I've been wanting to watch for a lonnng time now. off the top of my head I can think of Casablanca but that's a no-brainer... OH. also... I've been toying with the idea of writing a book, and I really think I'm gonna do it. seriously. I dunno what all it's going to be about, and I haven't decided if I will tell you all when I figure it all out, but just cross your fingers and hope that it goes well for me. I'm excited though! it should be interesting, that's for sure... anyway. I guess I'll be busy for a while. I start my new job tomorrow! wish me luck!

How often do you wear your "Graduation gift"

All the time... but I usually change my mind and wear something because it's a bit ostentatious. I don't like to show off.
