I'm THAT pinterest girl, And I Love It

We all know that one person (usually a girl) who plans every event (wedding, birthday party, baby shower, etc.) to the last detail. Nothing is complete until every second is accounted for. Every party has a well organized Pinterest page to accompany it, complete with themes and strategically picked decorations. And while it might be the most annoying thing, you have to admit it is actually really helpful. Well, I'm that girl, and I kind of love it.

For those who don't know what Pinterest is, first of all, shame on you. It's just about the best thing since sliced bread. Secondly, I highly recommend you jump on the Pinterest train asap. Basically, when you sign up it will take you to your Dashboard where you will see inspirational pictures for you to choose from.

You can also search for certain things like "wedding dress" or "dream house" and it will show you related pictures. If you see something you like you simply 'pin' it to your board. You can create as many boards as you'd like for whatever events you like. And as you 'pin' more and more things, your Dashboard will become more tailored to things the website notices you've been interested in.

Now, I know that I am no where near being married, hell I don't even think I'm anywhere close to getting a boyfriend, but I have every major event in my life planned out. I even have boards for my friends' weddings... Three friends to be exact. (Hit me up if you're looking for someone to plan your wedding!) I have boards for my wedding ceremony, wedding reception, the kitchen in my dream home, the walk-in closet I'm most certainly going to have in my future home, what my children's rooms will look like, what my bridemaids will wear to my wedding, and a whole lot more.

I know that people will say I'm "obsessed" or "silly" for loving this so much, but I really don't care about your opinion on this particular topic. I love looking things up and saving them on Pinterest. It gives me something to look forward to in life. I feel like Pinterest inspires this imagination deep inside me, and it gives me hope and makes me excited for the future. And I'll be honest, I was a little skeptical when a friend first introduced me to it. I thought she was just being some lovestruck high schooler, and I too labeled her as "silly." But then I went through some serious depression and I discovered that Pinterest was actually a way for me to avoid thoughts of suicide. I know that sounds totally ridiculous and I can feel the eye rolls through the screen, but hear me out.

When I was depressed everything felt like it was too much pressure or stressful for me. I just didn't want to keep living like that, and I didn't feel like anything was worth it. And to distract myself from all the pain and anxiety, I just scrolled through Pinterest. And soon I had a board for every room of my dream house. I had weddings planned. My future children had amazing outfits and the cutest rooms all laid out for them. And as silly as it all was to some, to me it was something to look forward to. If I just held out a little longer then I would get to cook beautiful meals in that amazing kitchen I had all planned out. And if I kept pushing through the anxiety, I would get to walk into that amazing room I planned for my children and get to hold them in my arms.

I get if you're still rolling your eyes. This is about as cliche as cliche gets. But at the end of the day being "that Pinterest girl" makes me happy and brings a little more light into my life. So I'm going to keep doing me, and if that's not alright with you then too bad.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
