The Darling Detail

Sometimes I can’t be bothered to change out of my pajamas all day. Sometimes I live on fast food for days at a time (and loving every fried minute of it). Sometimes makeup seems like the biggest waste of time. Why bother with nail polish (I’ll get too impatient to let it dry, end up messing it up, and peeling all of it off)? My laundry pile is as tall as I am. I’m a fan of making weird (and I mean weird) faces and dancing in the aisles of the grocery store. The trendiest I’ll ever be is wearing shirts that are so oversized, it looks like I don’t have shorts on underneath (but I totally do). My ideal Friday night is hanging with the fam.

But that’s not always how it is.

Other times, I could spend hours watching makeup tutorials online. Other times, I’ll try on random outfits in my room just for fun. Other times, doing my hair boosts my confidence a good ten points (fifteen points if I actually do a good job). Other times, I’d pick skinny jeans over sweat pants. Other times, I’m taking pictures specifically for Instagram and editing them to my liking. Other times, I’ll be out all day with friends, laughing obnoxiously loud (and annoying people around us). I could easily do some major damage at the mall in a few short hours. I’m not ashamed to say Starbucks is my beverage destination of choice (and yes I do enjoy a nice PSL). I relate to Clueless on a spiritual level.

Sometimes I literally don’t care, and other times I want you to applaud how even my eyeliner is. It’s confusing to be me sometimes I guess.

I kinda like it though.

So here’s to the girls who are an absolute mess half of the time and Elle Woods the rest of the time. The girls who feel just as confident running to class with their wet hair in a bun as they do in a dress.

I mean “get you a girl that can do both”, right?

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
