So my summer may be pretty much over in a couple of weeks. At least as far as free time goes. I have had a job at Six, an accessories store in the mall, since the end of April. However, the hours are really strange. MOST weeks I only work 4-8 hours, although last week I worked 16 hours. I absolutely love the job, but since the low hours don't make a ton of money, I decided to try and get another part time job.

And.......I have an interview with Kohl's in 3 days. I applied there at the beginning of June, so I expected I wouldn't hear anything since it's been so long. But apparently I was wrong! So I may be getting a second job. And on top of that I am taking College Writing 2 starting on July 14th. It's just a basic class that I figured I would get out of the way this summer, so I could focus on more fashion classes.

So if I have 2 jobs and am taking an English class I will be extremely busy. The carefree days of summer will be over. I have really mixed feelings about it. I need to learn to support myself better and be more like an adult. Plus I need to start saving up for studying abroad, if I choose to go to Paris. (And of course, college is just expensive in general.) But I'm also nervous about being under a lot of pressure and not having any free time.

Well..... I guess I just have to go to the interview and see how this all pans out. Maybe I'm a better juggler than I think!

Much love, dolls

Summer's Flying By



Tank: Old Navy
Flowy Cardigan Thing: Dots
Skirt, Sandals, Necklace, and Bracelet: Forever 21
Earrings: Six
Lips: Nyx Extreme Lip Creme in Nude Peach Fuzz

So yet again I fail at being consistent on this blog. >_< I do have two Youtube channels that take a lot of time and they are generally my first commitment. However, they do not allow me to just write whatever I want after I share outfit pictures.  So that's why I still show up here.

It's been over a month since I came home from college. I really wish I could say I miss it, but honestly..... I'm kind of neutral about it. I never had a lot of friends there. There were people I really liked and talked to in class, but nobody I hung out with outside of class. There were 2 great girls though, that I do miss: Lauren and Ashley. They were the only ones I felt I connected with on more than just the surface (aside from my roommate, but we've been friends for 9 years). Making connections has always been a weak point for me. It takes me months to establish a bond with someone. I'm very shy and sensitive. I wish I was outgoing, but alas, I am not. At all.
So that's why I don't miss college much. I didn't have connections with my peers to bind me to the campus emotionally. I'm hoping next year will be different, even though I'm commuting.

I have so much I want to talk about from the last month of summer, but I don't want to make a mammoth wall of text on one post. So I will share with you some less sad "I can't make friends" kind of stories in my next post. 'Cause I'm honestly not sad right now, even if the paragraph above sounds a bit melancholy. I'm just reflecting on my feelings about leaving campus life for the first time.

Much love dolls,
