While browsing for pictures on we heart it, I came across this image. It's of the book, "14,000 things to be happy about." The title sounded interesting, so I decided to Google it. Come to find, it's a book that is true to it's title. It literally lists 14,000 things that make people happy, categorized into a million different sections. I'm going back to my parent's house this the weekend, where my car is. While I'm there, my mission is to track this book down. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

What are some things that give you a reason to smile? Here is a snippet of my list:

1. giving and receiving unconditional love from family and friends.

2. animals, and how they don't judge you.

3. believing that true altruism exists.

4. holidays

5. ice cream

6. laughing so hard your abs hurt.

7. hot tubbing in 30 degree weather

8. cozy homes with colored front doors

9. looking through old pictures

10. checking email

11. catching ladybugs and watching them crawl across your arm.

12. elderly couples

13. horseback riding, snorkeling, being adventurous.

14. making snow angels

15. knowing that I used to type LiKe tHiS in middle school.

P.s, I Love You

Today is my best friend, R's birthday! She turned 21. A lot of her friends have midterms tomorrow (including myself), so going out wasn't an option for tonight. We're celebrating tomorrow, though! Tonight, we had dinner at a local pub. It was kind of weird walking in, since I just turned 21 myself. I kept on thinking, "Wait...I'm not old enough to be here"...but I am! Our waitors were super cute. As my friend would say, "they look like ex Irish rock band members." Her comment made me think of Gerard Butler from P.s, I Love You, which by the way was an EXCELLENT movie. R got a free drink for her birthday, which she could barely finish, and I got water. We're such noobies. That's ok though, because drinking isn't good for you anyways.

Being 21 is great. Places that require you to be of age are a completely different world. They are filled with ADULTS. haha! That sounds kind of weird because you're probably thinking, "Wait, there are adults everywhere-- the mall, the libarary, and the streets!" That is indeed true. I guess you could think of bars as a place where adults don't act as serious. It's a setting where they are free to let loose and have fun. People watching in bars is the best. This concept is kind of hard to explain. I guess if you're not 21 yet, you'll experience it sooner or later. Get excited!

We Were Just Kids In Love

Just kidding about the hiatus. I felt like taking a break after classes today. I got so burnt out from staying up until 1 a.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to study for my exam. I still have a few things due, and two more midterms this week and next week, but for now-- I am taking a small break.

One of my best friends is turning 21 on Thursday! We're going out to celebrate on Friday, and I have NO idea of what I'm going to wear. I'll be sure to post a picture when I decide. In the mean time, here are some trends that I have been adoring:
