twenty!!

Tomorrow, I will officially have been alive for TWENTY YEARS. crazy! Today's one of my best friend's birthdays(and how weird is this: her birthday is the 18th, mine's the 19th of april, her mom and my mom both have feb 17th birthdays!) and i wish I could be with her to celebrate it. We've been together for about 15/20 birthdays thus far. Getting old is zero fun. I was talking to my mom yesterday and i was telling her that I don't think my birthday is going to be that great this year due to me being stuck at college with little money and class on monday. She told me that's what life's about, sacrificing and doing what needs to be done before thinking about yourself sometimes. :( Maybe I don't want to be mature, maybe I want to skip class, drive home, go to high school again and have everyone shower me with "happy birthdays!" and tons of balloons, have my dad make my favorite salmon dinner, and spend time with my family. Sad thoughts. On the other hand, my dad always taught to have a pessimistic attitude about these types of things: "A pessimist is never disappointed." He's right. So if I just tell myself not extraordinarily exciting is going to happen, when something semi-exciting occurs I'll be caught off guard and overjoyed!

I haven't been writing a lot lately! Life has just been, not hectic, but...I think life has just been like "discover me! there's so many paths you can take, and here's what you have to do to get them. you ready?"...if that makes any sense at all. I 100% know i want to go in to fashion now, and I'm more than thankful God has given me that oppoturnity to excel in something I am so passionate about. Last night I went to my first toga party(man, I sound like such a stereotypical college kid right not)! Although it took me about 45 minutes to create a comfortable, somewhat modest toga, it was accomplished. Sorry lauren, I only managed to get one picture the whole night, and all I had available at the time was my Blackberry camera! I'm angry with myself for that one. It was fun to dance and have a crazy night, you need those every once in a while. The point of my story: as soon as I walked in a girl goes "That's not a toga! That looks like something I'd wear out on a normal night!" I know I have that fashion instinct in me, now it's up to me to channel it and take control of my life and not let life take control of me!



Tonight we're going out for my roommate's and my birthday as well! Don't know which restaurant we're going to, any suggestions? That's one of the nice things about Columbus, it's very ecclectic in the sense of food, except healthy organic food. The closest we have to that is Jason's Deli.

I Hope everyone has a wonderful week! And if it's anyone else's birthday who's reading this: HAPPYBIRTHDAY! And Lauren, I love you ridiculous amounts! You're amazing. We're such a lesbian couple.
