Hello lovelies! Sorry for not posting in a while, I have had a ton on my plate with school, finals, and just personal stuff. But now it's summer break (can I get an AMEN?!) and I have tons more time on my hands! I really want to use this blog as a way to document my summer, and show you guys what I have been doing and loving. Hopefully it will be like a little mini journal, but I'll spare you all the details of my boring little life. So I'll just recap my first weekend on vacation, and from now on there will be individual posts for individual days, so sorry if this post gets a little lengthy!
Wednesday:
This was my last day of finals, and after our last exam my best friends Maya, Jordan, and Monica came over to celebrate! We ate some lunch, and just chilled out around my house. We spend a while on Omegle, which is definitely sketchy but super fun! My sister and I usually go on together so it was fun to have different company! While we saw some less than appealing male flashes and creepy old men, we also were serenaded by some guy with a guitar and creeped out lots of people by doing the Harlem Shake with the Harry Styles and Niall Horan cardboard cutouts that I have at my house.
After some chatting with strangers we did the Chubby Bunny Challenge and the Blindfolded makeup challenge. It was really fun, and got me thinking about how I really want to start a YouTube channel. More of a lifestyle sort of thing with vlogs, and lots of DIYs and such. My favorite YouTubers who are similar to what I want to do are Cait and Shannon Barker and Lauren (LaurDIY). Hopefully this summer will be the perfect opportunity to get started, so I will keep you updated!
Thursday:
I awoke early on Thursday for orchestra rehearsal, as we were playing at graduation later in the day. It was nothing special, but a bit awkward as there is some tension going on with me and other members of the orchestra. I definitely felt unwelcome but it was okay because I don't let people like that get me down!
For graduation we were required to wear all black, and I needed some new black clothing. So that meant SHOPPING! My mom and I headed to Grand Central Clothing, a cute little boutique in a plaza called Casa Paloma. I found a really adorable black maxi dress for graduation and also picked up a black romper with a tribal sort of print on the front which will be perfect for the summer. I then headed to Target and picked up a new swimsuit, which is cute, but I don't love. I really am not a fan of straps on swimsuits, I prefer a bandeau. I also got a pair of gold and black sandals which I believe are Dolce Vita knockoffs but I really wasn't wanting to pay $70 for sandals so $19.99 seemed much better!
Friday:
On Friday, my best friend had a small party at her house to celebrate the end of the school year. It was a really initmate gathering, with about five or six people there total. One of the people in attendance was the guy I like, who I will call Bob. It was great to finally hang out with him outside of school, but I really wasn't feeling a connection which was suckish for sure. I have never been successful with guys anyways so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. He even asked my friend later if she knew if any of her friends had feelings for him, and how he worded it made it totally seem like he didn't want any to, so I really don't see us being anything more than sort of friends. Oh well! I did have a great time at the party though with swimming, Frisbee, pizza, and just hanging out!
Saturday:
Saturday was definitely a chill day. I woke up late (unintentionally, I actually hate sleeping in) which was a nice treat, and had a quick breakfast before heading out on a hike. I got out to the trails a bit too late, and it had already become very hot! I got about 3.5 miles in which was nice. I really enjoy getting out in nature and I can't wait to be able to go hiking more often now that school is out.
I was supposed to go to my friend Tyler's grad party later that day, but my "date" got busy and I ended up staying home and tanning with my sister instead! When my mother got home, we headed out to Goodwill. I was looking for jeans to cut into shorts and mens' flannels. I found exactly what I was looking for (old black Levi's) but they were the wrong size and I was so disappointed! I did end up getting a pair of jeans which I made into shorts, a flannel, and a tank top so it wasn't a completlely unsuccessful trip! I also picked up two Mason jars, which I love to put water/tea/smoothies in as well as flowers and my makeup brushes! They are just so adorable and versatile!
Sunday:
Yesterday I headed out to the lake with my best friends. The whole group consisted of me, Monica, Maya, Maya's dad and sister, her sister's 2 friends, another family friend and his daughter and parents. It was super fun, and we went wake boarding, knee boarding, rode on the SeaDoo, and just chilled. I always love going to the lake, even though I don't enjoy swimming. This is the first time in history I am not sun burnt from head to toe, so I am beyond elated.
Later today I will post about my day today, so keep your eye out!
