Summer Summer Summer

For some reason, blogging sounded like a fun thing to do right now. 

So here I sit in my new reading chair that looks like this
Just kidding. But doesn't that look sweet??

Either way, I'm on my new laptop because my old laptop totally shit the bed. I mean, literally fell apart into two pieces. Ridiculous. 

Am I supposed to cuss on this thing? Probably not.

Oh well, I said it. Can't take it back now.

It's summer time. I was actually never a huge fan of summer, even in my middle and high school days. I'm still not. I just prefer the school year for some reason.


Maybe it's just because I'm a nerd. Or maybe it's because, despite my completely unstructured lifestyle, I've learned that I need a set schedule day-to-day in order to not go crazy or completely seclude myself.

Don't get me wrong, seclusion can be nice sometimes (hence, the new reading chair and the crazy amount of use that it's gotten... seriously, I think I live in it) but I have a tendency to be an extreme person so maybe it's not the best idea for my life.

My extreme personality has come out in full force this summer:

I attempted to do this 17 Day Diet thing with my sister. Psh... epic fail. I was 10 days in and eating this type of stuff
except not quite as much food.


But I was dreaming about this
 before I finally just gave in and ate some Papa John's Pizza (110% worth it). I then proceeded to eat reeces and ice cream. Then I drank some Dr. Pepper. Then I ate some cake


 Apparently when I fall of the band wagon, I fall hard.

Needless to say, by the end of the night I thought I was going to puke but, I'll tell you something, I was very happy. And I think my family was too. Something about me not having food tends to turn me into this..


I'm also attempting to figure out my life. You know, going into my senior year and all. Ugh. Gross. I hate growing up. If I have to fill out one more application for the future I might just scream.


I feel like I'm living T.I.'s lyrics: "Hindsight 20/20, Future not as clear." Thank you Christopher Joseph Harris, Jr. for your words of wisdom (yes, that IS T.I.'s real name... and yes, I am just using this opportunity to reveal that I know that).


But, for real, I spent the night at my cousin's house last night and stayed up super late, just like the old days, and we were just marveling at how old we've gotten and how life has changed and how much it's going to change in the coming years. Weird. Weird. Weird.


When did this happen?? I wish I could just stop time for a second or two.


Eh, oh well, that's all I got for now. And probably for another while. But I shall leave you with some lyrics from a band that I can't stop listening to, Florence and the Machine, not because it relates in any way at all. In fact, it doesn't relate at all. It just sounds like the cool thing to do and it's my blog so I can do what I want:


I took the stars from my eyes,
And then I made a map,
I knew that somehow,
I could find my way back,
Then I heard your heart beating,

you were in the darkness too,
So I stayed in the darkness with you.
