where did the time go?
i’m sitting in my room, viciously going through my terribly unorganized itunes library as yet another (productive) by product of my new found inability to sleep at night, and i can’t help but wonder how on earth another year passed so quickly. i can quite literally remember everything i was doing at this time last year (most notably, being in a different country, and going scuba...

say anything
today i vegged out with my very best friend in the wholeee wide world. we were very domestic and made shaped ice cream sandwiches (snowmen, snowflakes, and gingerbread men) on homemade brownies. and then proceeded to sit on our butts and watch movies. what girls do best.
but we watched sex and the city and say anything. i hadn’t actually seen say anything, but as of now, i’m...

- mark twain.
my favorite thing about break is catching up with the 6 zillion books i’ve needed to read/wanted to read again. love love love.
ps. photo cred: Me. i’d kill to be back in the summer reading away in a field.
Tis the season.
One of my favorite traditions on Sunday mornings, before I get out of bed, before I go to church, I check postsecret on my phone. It’s something I’ve done since about 8th grade, and probably will do for a long time coming.
Postsecret is a website where people have anonymously submitted secrets that they do not feel they can share with anyone else. They are sad, funny, heartwrenching,...
where are you christmas?
i stumbled out of bed today and decided to venture to the store to shop for my family for christmas. it’s getting close enough that i’m bordering on not being able to put it off any longer.
so i put on real clothes (leggings are still considered pants now that i’m home from college, right?) and collected my younger siblings for a shopping adventure. i pulled out of the...
home sweet home
i cannot express how happy i am to be typing this from the biggest armchair in my family room, sitting next to a big cozy fire. getting home from school friday afternoon was like a big relief; sure i still have a 10 page paper to finish, but i am home. it’s not in single digit temperatures at night. i can have sweet tea where ever i go. i hugged my refrigerator, which is here for me until...

primal scream, take two.
so, a few days ago i made some snarky comments about primal scream. “oh lah te dah, get your shit in order, finals aren’t that big of a deal. i’m such a hardworking first year.”i’m smart. i know what’s up. and i was fully convinced of that. for a while…
okay. i admit it. you all were so right. and i was so, so wrong.
last night, around 11;47, i lost my...

peace and blessings ya’ll. peace and blessings.
primal scream?
so it’s finals week. and alot of people on campus participated in primal scream tonight. sadly, i was not in attendance, but the echoing chorus of some 2000 girls screaming into the cold new england air was enough to make me want to open my window and bellow once or twice on my own. good lord people. it’s finals week. everyone has tests. quit your screaming and study yo shit.

cowboy
never fails to amaze me. he’s incredible, in just about every single possible way. the only thing that would make my own personal miracle any better than he already is, would be if we could somehow transport him and his school up to boston.
couldn’t be that hard, right?
le soleil de ma vie je t’adore.
it's a toss up
tonight was, that is.
someone at harvard stole my coat. it’s winter in boston, and it’s motherf*cking cold out there. i also am extremely attached to that gorgeous black pea coat. which also happened to contain my makeup and roomkey. (and my wallet, which was conveniently removed, and left on the table, completely full.) really, kids? that’s just not cool.
but on the other...
caffinate and dominate.
once upon a time, it’s reading period. and to me, this is almost more stressful than the finals week we had in highschool. it’s 3 days, with mandatory 23/24 hours of quiet every day, where we are supposed to just study. and for me, this is extraordinarily overwhelming. there are people locked in the clapp library for hours on end (myself included) who hunker down in the chairs they...

comparison
recent events have led me to do alot of thinking. it is almost the end of my first semester of college. seeing as it’s easy to still think of myself as a gawky, awkward freshman in high school, this concept is fantastically mind boggling to me. i just turned nineteen, which also is weird to think about. however, one of the things most striking to me, is the comparison between my friends from...
sweet serendipity
the title of this blog, “sweet serendipity” comes from a song i heard by chance (pun possibly intended) on the radio the other day. the chorus sings, “And I’m doing just fine/I’m always landing on my feet/In the nick of time/And by the skin of my teeth/I ain’t gonna stress/Cause the worst ain’t happened yet/Somethings watching over me/Like Sweet...
