Today I pulled out my old Avril Lavigne CDs and listened to them on the way to school with the volume all the way up and the windows down. I loved it, I felt all the songs were super relatable to my life. Sometimes I am a sucker for all that pop-ish music just because it's super catchy.

I've discovered that I am a super out going person when it comes to meeting new people. I just talk to everyone, and it's always super comfortable and never awkward. I just can not stand being reserved and to myself. I think about it as everyone is in the same boat as me. Everytime I end a conversation with someone they are always telling me how happy they are I talked to them and if it wasn't for me they wouldn't have made a friend that day. &&& actually one girl came up to me, which was incredibly cool because I am re-reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan (which is a christian book) and she said that she saw me from a distance with that book and she had read it before and came over to talk to me and to find out if I was a christian...I love that! She invited me to this Christian Club thing tuesdays and thursday. Heck, made me day.

Sat in the most unbearable traffic, I hated it.

Came home to try and mess with my schedule a bit and screwed up...gotta fix that tomorrow hopefully.

Tomorrow will be home LONG and hectic day but today was actually really nice.

First day of college with photography as my first and only class of the day, didn't grasp much of it the whole college experience...I'm hoping that will come tomorrow! It was interesting tho, I'm not used to seeing people where whatever they want, smoking, and a whole variety of cultures.

I am hoping to get to know all of these people with incredible souls.

I am also hoping to learn A LOT.

later that day: was beautiful <3

Summer 2010, you have been incredibly AMAZING. I loved you soo much, you have taught me so much and you have helped me grow. You have let me face many of my fears, and you have helped me fall in love with everyone and everything. You gave me a amazing job that I loved and I will miss entirely. You have made me a deeper person and you have made my brain go crazy with all of these great thoughts. You have given me inspiration. You have pursued my passions. You have given me plenty of good laughs. You have had something planned something for me everyday, and there was never one dull moment. You have revealed feelings and emotions I have never felt before and you have let me meet the most amazing people! You have brought people into my life that are life changing and you have made all my friendships stronger.

I finally felt free & I loved it.

Really great ending to the most amazing summer of my life. Actually, the best I've ever had in my life was this summer. mmhm. College tomorrow with photography as my first class! sounds too amazing <3

Today was even more amazing. I am so thankful to be having all these great days this summer with people I care about and love.

I was invited to go to the lake with Kevin with his parents, brothers and his brothers girlfriend and friend. It was the perfect day with the perfect weather. I wakeboarded for the first time in my life AND cliff jumped for the first time as well. The rest of the time was spent tanning, relaxing, listening to great music and having amazing conversation. It was soo much fun. When we got bak to Kevins, we all cleaned the boat and then went out to dinner. The rest of the night Kevin and I just hung out. I loved it <3

Today was one of the best days.

SMC orientation was way better then I expected. Hung out with Spencer and Rachael all day- it was the best! SO funny and soo relaxing. I loved it. We roamed the school, met some foreign exchanged students, laughed really hard, hung out at Rachaels new roomate house, slept on the beach at Venice, listened to fun music, and saw Chris Brown! "hey hey look it's the guy who hit the girl!" love them!!!


Later went to Andrews going away party and had more fun. Maybe a little too much :)

I need to stop getting so behind on my blogs because I do so much, every day that I forget what to write.

Anyways today I went to the beach with Brianna & Christine. It was a lot of fun, stayed there for about 4 hours...which is along time for me because I usually make it 2 hours and I get super irritable but it was nice.



Song of the day: King of anything- Sara Bareielles
