America, America

The 4th of July is tomorrow! It's kind of crazy to believe it's already July already, but I'm not complaining. I love the 4th of July, mostly just because of the fireworks and the fact that I get to spend the day hanging out with friends! The fireworks in my town are crazy; they put on the show right on the waterfront every 3rd of July. I've never known why they do it on the 3rd rather than the 4th but I suspect it's because all the towns in my state are relatively close together, and many have their own shows that they do on the fourth. But who knows?

Dressing for the fourth is always such fun! The red, white, and blue color scheme never gets old. Truth be told, I love it year round (who doesn't?), but wearing it in the middle of the winter seems a little extreme. Also, it makes it so much more fun when you get to wear it for special occasions like Memorial Day, Labor Day, and of course, the Fourth of July!

All I Think is Mexico...

So after spring break, we're kind of in the home stretch. And I just realized yesterday that I only have one final (granted, it's on the last day of finals... because, well that's just my luck). Ignoring that little tidbit though, I basically decided that I'm officially done school April 30th. It's SO close! But so far away. It's also the most aggravating feeling in the world. I feel like I have senioritis and I'm not even a senior. Whoops!

Moving on though, last week was basically torture scrolling through my Instagram feed and seeing loads among loads of pictures of paradise. Key West, Cancun, the Dominican Republic, oh, they all looked so nice! Needless to say it put my wanderlust into full throttle and two of my best friends and I booked a trip to Mexico this June. To be followed directly by my family trip to Disney! Last summer was amazing, and I knew it'd be hard to beat, but I don't know... this summer's looking pretty good so far.

In other news, I'm broke again...

But oh well! One of the perks of working three jobs is that I know I have a steady inflow of cash coming in. So yay! My anxiety attacks related to lack of funds have officially subsided. And now all I have to really focus on is making sure I get through the next six weeks of school (which is already proving to be an issue as I took a "mental health" day yesterday.) Professors give out freebies for a reason, right? The reason being they understand how vital spending a day online shopping is to a girl. But don't worry! I haven't clicked "purchase" on anything, yet.
