Man, I'm Awkward.

Yeah, I have issues when it comes to not being uncomfortable.  Or just being normal. But let's just stick with awkward for today, yeah?

Anyway, here's just a short list of some things that I do on a regular basis, that make me think to myself, "I really need to get my act together."

1. Autocorrect. Is the bane of my existence. I have weird texts ranging from "I need to buy dingleberries" to my mom (which I still don't know what I was trying to say) to "I'm so hood" (meant to be "I'm so good").

2. Tripping/Running into things. I have been doing this since I was kid. I always manage to trip over my own two feet or run into a friggin doorway of a house I've lived in since I was 4.

3. Being gullible. Do you ever have those moments when people are looking at you like, "How are you not getting this?" I have those a lot, and always at the most inconvenient times. Like when I'm with a big group of people.

4. Speaking in front of people. I'm not sure if this really counts as being "awkward"... But I always get bright red whenever I speak in front of people. Even when I do a pretty decent job of presenting something and I have every reason to be confident. And it's always just the best when people look at me and are like, "You are, like, bright red." Gee, thanks.

These are things that (sadly) happen to me on a regular basis, but I've long since decided to embrace my awkwardness and surround myself with people who find it endearing instead of completely idiotic. If you haven't done this yet, you should try it. It'll set you free.

Good Days and Being Thankful

It's been a good day, so I think I'm going to post about what I'm thankful for!

1. This semester almost being over with.
  • Most especially Media Law. I mean, no hating on Dr. Hanebutt (I think he is a very good professor), but law is just not my thing. At all. So it's pretty cool that I'm ending the semester feeling pretty satisfied with that class!
2. IHOP.
  • And great friends who buy me breakfast! That's right, I'm talking about you, Courtney Bass! 
3. Shorts and flip-flow weather!
  • I'm loving how it's not cold at all!! I'm in love with shorts and sandals so this is a great time of year for me.
4. My two-inch thick memory foam on my bed. But it makes me want to stay in bed all day, and that's not always a good thing!

5. My parents. Because they bought the memory foam for me.

  • Just Kidding, that's not the only reason I'm thankful for them! They are my anchors to reality and my reason for striving to do well. I love them.

I. Love. Shopping!!

So online shopping is probably my biggest weakness. I'm not saying that I buy a lot (because then I would be so broke I wouldn't be able to live), but I always go to different websites and check out what they have and see if I can get inspiration for outfits.

Anyway, I would love to share with you guys my favorite websites to check out some cute clothes!

1. Francesca's: I am IN LOVE with this store! I not only go to the website, but I go to the store all the time. It's awesome, seriously. Check it out.

2. J. Crew: Yeah, they are kind of expensive, but I adore their style. I go to the Looks We Love tab and that gives some great ideas for outfits all year round.

3. Ruche: Vintage style. Nuff said.

4. Victoria's Secret: Because who doesn't love looking at swimsuits that only look good on models?

Annnddd last but not least:

5. Anthropologie: Oh, yes. I know how expensive this particular store is. And I also know that I will probably never buy an outfit from there ever because I do have some common sense, but I still love looking at the home decor and accessories!

Do you guys have any favorite places to shop online? I would love some new suggestions!

Lots of Happily Ever Afters

Has anyone else noticed how many fairytale related T.V. shows and movies have been coming out lately? I, of course, am loving it, because I love anything fairytale related!

First of all, there's Once Upon a Time. This show is good if you like intrigue! It's about a small town whose inhabitants are all fairytale characters, but they don't know it.

And then there are movies coming out later this year, like Snow White and the Huntsman, starring Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth.

And of course the lovely Julia Roberts starred as the Queen in Mirror Mirror.

Oh, and I can't forget Grimm, which I love. Although this T.V. series isn't really fairy tales, it's a great show based off childhood stories!

Also, I'm pretty much in love with David Giuntoli.

Basically, I'm a fairytale addict, and I'm not afraid to admit it!
