Organization During Summer

June 16, 2016

hey y’all,
whats up?
i feel like dora omg, waiting for your response. so basically when school ended my life exploded you know, in a ball of fire. when this happened, i was just relaxing, reading me before you (which is a great book btw) and i asked my mom what day it was, because i honestly didn’t know what day it was.
it was thursday….already thursday and i hadn’t done anything that i wanted to accomplish, but i had watched a lot of once upon a time, enough for two curses to be broken (and if you know how much that is…its a lot)

y’all ready? lets go:

so I just finished basketball season, and now I have starting taking art classes after school and I am really having an adventure with that!

my squad and I on splash mountain, (this wasn’t the big drop you can tell because we are all smiley still and not screaming) and her phone survived! it didn’t get wet and w still got that cute selfie!

IMG_4779

and finally I will explain, I have been seeing this cup online and I was way too obsessed with it! I loved star wars so much, especially BB8, so all day I hunted for this cup, and when I got it I was way too excited, and my friends decided that they wanted to snapchat it!

and btw:

my shirt gives me life, not meaning to go all girls school on ya but so many people commented on it! I don’t really shop at brandy melville a lot, but this shirt spoke to me, so I had to own it anyway
