snap crackle pop

you may think this looks like it is supposed to be like this, but...its not. it cracked. all of those windows. cracked.

hello jostens!

first things first, my hair wrap was taken out due to bumps forming on my scalp all thanks to my too tight of a braid! see how the hair looked after being in a braid for a week? yikes.

this picture is proof that there was a dance party, yes a dance party, at yearbook camp after karaoke night, yes karaoke night, at yearbook camp.

the life of living at gettysburg college for 3 days was not a typical college experience. yes, we slept in dorms and had the routine 3 meals a day in the cafeteria, but there was one minor change. we were at yearbook camp. i am not lying, that exists. i am an editor with my friend savannah, so us two, + rachel and bethany (who are members on our staff) went to see what we could get done. we got a lot done.

hair wrapz and the lyndon

wait, 17 isnt too old for hair wraps, right? who cares, look at them, amazing. savannah, emma, and i gave each other hair wraps (really they did all three and i only did one braid. hair wraps are not my specialty) which took about a total of 4 hours. and in those 4 hours, many laughs were exchanged which resulted in that night feeling like the old times. when we would just sit there, talk, and crack up at every little thing said. the only thing that didnt feel like old times? we went to the lyndon diner at about 2 AM. sean was our server, only the best.

tomato pies

savvy girl and i took a much needed visit to tomato pie cafe. so adorable! located in downtown lititz with only the best "tomato pie". granted, probably the only tomato pie, so yes...its the best.

No words

Cousins

The friends that look out together, stay together.

katherine hudson

For my sisters 23rd and 21st birthdays, i took them to go see katy perrys california dreams tour. All three of us wore a peacock shirt, matching bangles, and sparkly glitter. Gotta get in the katy perry mood, right? It was the best concert i have ever been to. Cotton candy, sparkles, glow sticks, candy land, and just being with two of my best friends and one of my favorite artists all in one night was unbelievable.

moving on

and to think that these were only two months ago, two days after school let out, and we are soon going back to high school. summer goes extremely quick.

little boxes and galway girl

ap homework. makeup as a medium (thank you, s!). cheez-its. paper towels. kneaded erasers. tired fingers.

WEEDS

I know i get obsessed with shows and people (hello hunter parrish) too easily. BUT THIS IS HONESTLY, honestly THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN. I would recommend this show to everyone over the age of...probs...14. It is kind of bad, and does deal with drugs, but the plot always puts me on the edge of my seat. I'm obsessed with yet another thing! Once again!
