I leave tomorrow to do one of my "things I must do before I die" at the mere age of 20! [I'll most likely post my list here someday, hopefully updated because I have actually done a few of the things since I started college. Anyway, I am going to spend New Year's eve with my parents in NEW YORK CITY! Our hotel is right on Time's Square so we will have a perfect place to watch the ball from especially if it gets too cold outside!

Not only am I excited to see this spectacle and cross something off my list, but I am also excited just to be in New York again. I don't know what it is really, but I've always had a ridiculous obsession with New York City. I know a lot of people love New York so it's not that uncommon, but I literally jump at any chance I have to go there. This will be my third trip since my junior year of high school. I just get this amazing feeling whenever I'm there. I feel like I'm 10 times more awake and alive than I usually am. I'm just so captivated by the city and all of the lights and sounds, as cliche as that is.
I'm also very excited to shop at Topshop's only U.S. store in Soho, as well as many other great stores!
Anyway, I should get back to packing.
Happy New Year everyone!

i want to be you.

oh, hello.

I've decided to return to blogger because my lovers jane and madi both use it and I think maybe it will help me to rekindle my creative flame.

I'm at the airport on my way home for Christmas break-I have just completed my third semester of college and I'm pretty sure I passed all of my classes! (haha, just kidding, I'm sure I passed)

Anyway, I just really wanted to share a few lil'music videos and songs with you since I've finally broken away from my tv phase and now it's all tunes all the time. :)

"When I Grow Up"-Fever Ray: I still don't really understand this video but I love the vibe of it: both haunting and beautiful.


"Now We Can See"-The Thermals: I have always questioned my love for The Thermals, but this song finally showed me why it is I always find myself loving their tunes. I always wonder what it is about their music that gets me because the singer just isn't very good...but this song is a perfect example of the beautiful energy and passion that The Thermals put behind their music. It's hard to resist toe-tapping and the insatiable urge to dance.


"All the King's Men"-Wild Beasts: A friend told me about Wild Beasts a few months ago, but I never really gave them a fair listen until last week. I am pretty sure that this song will be one of my favorites of all time. I just can't stop listening to it, and I even made it into a ringtone so I can hear it whenever someone calls. Anyway, I'll let you hear it for yourself. No need for description, it's just a beautiful work of musical art. The video rocks too.


Enjoy! More posts coming soon!
