Was thinking about the past and whatnot, reminiscing on senior year. It hasn’t even been a year since I graduated, yet it feels very far away already. It’s probably because I’ve settled into thinking of college and high school is not at the forefront of my mind anymore. It’s just crazy to think that I’m barely starting my spring semester of freshman year, when I had gotten so used to being a senior. Such is life, the cycle repeats.
Picture is from senior sunrise, old tradition where the seniors go to the beach dressed in all white and watch the sun go up. Doesn’t have much use other than getting good pictures for the yearbook and Instagram lol, but was still a nice time. I think senior year was only tolerable because of my friends, I really owe it all to them. We got breakfast after and showed up an hour ish late to school, good times.

Honestly no one talks enough about the crazy rose-colored glasses you get after graduating from high school. I miss high school BADLY

Im aslo in my senior year and its definitely been a wild ride. Though most if that ride was me being an overachiever and burning out midway and having to learn its okay to take it slow I don't have to achieve everything so early on.
I lucked out and was able to get an off campus apartment and not have to stay in the dorms my entire time at school, so that saved me a lot of money and really allowed me to, I think enjoy college more because i was able to do my own thing and have my own space.
I've made a lot of new friends in the last few years and some friendships I think are going to live past the convenience of being in college and same department.
I think over all it was a rough start but by the end of it here overall it was worth it and I've had a great time!

Peach Pit’s sophomore album “You and Your Friends” is such a perfect album. No skips at all, all the songs are so catchy and beautiful. My favorite tracks on it have to be Puppy Grin, Brian’s Movie, and Shampoo Bottles. I feel like a lot of the songs on it are very nostalgic? It’s hard to explain, they’re all about past relationships, platonic and romantic (probably where the album name comes from). It’s very easy to attach songs to experiences you’ve lived.
I think the song I’ve most resonated with is Puppy Grin, just the fact it’s about hopelessly devoting yourself to someone that’s not even yours to begin with.
Very easy to listen to, hope to get the vinyl soon, can’t wait to see Peach Pit this summer!!

I love taking a good nature walk. Back in high school I had to wait upwards of 3 hours for my dad to come and pick me up (come late junior and senior year they told me to just take the bus home), I made it a bit of a habit of walking along the backyard of my school, it was this huge grassy space with trees and a river further back. Thinking of it now, it wasn’t very big, but man the self reflection I did there was crazy.
Now I frequent downtown a lot because of school, so I just walk around getting lost, occasionally going to the parks nearby and just sitting and thinking.

Remembering when I visited an old friend in Indiana last summer and they took me to this quarry, I was asleep on the ride there so I’ll never know where it is, it remains a mystifying memory. A moment suspended in time. Even as someone very afraid of both water and heights, being at the very top was so breathtaking (in a good way).
Apparently the Empire State Building is constructed entirely with limestone from Indiana.
