summer '18 highlights

inspired by Mary + Mira's posts, I decided to do a summer '18 recap instead of just August. so, expect lots of pictures + random stuff :))

j u n e 

a month of vacations, taking way too many pictures of everything, finally relaxing, realizing how amazing dunkin' donuts is (seriously, y'all, their hashbrowns :P)

road trip  // polaroid pictures // listening to "hamilton" + "the greatest showman" // just had my wisdom teeth taken out so i could barely smile or talk, xD

lots and lots of canoeing + kayaking // sticky s'mores and glowsticks // playing chubby bunny until late at night // laughing till you nearly cry // sunset over the water

j u l y 

a month of swim team, waking up way too early on saturdays to drive to swim meets, lots of iced coffee + bagels, realizing how much I love fresh flowers,  and reading way too many books

a u g u s t

a month of snow balls (ice cream + sno cone = amazingness), movies, binge watching The Office, reading like crazy before school starts, comfort books (harry potter), coffee, nails done, finished my novel, college essays 

flying with one of my best friends for a week-long vacation // tubing on a river // staying up till midnight watching The Office + Bones // eating ice cream from the carton // drinking coffee at eleven at night and laughing bc we're still so tired // way too many pics + videos // finished my novel!!

r a n d o m 

so tired  one night + loopy that i was seriously considering writing a blog post about why i love bagels so much #truth 

little brother: "wow i have lots of muscles!"

mom: "uh huh really?"

little brother: "yea like ten!"

oh i got a succulent plant! it's so tiny and cute + also i named him jim xD. now i need to get another one and name it pam :D

discovered caffeinated chocolate (i literally typed that as coffee first, and didn't realize until i came back to proof read xDDD) at my community college's bookstore << it's amazing 

realized how i much i love fall bc #sweaters and hot drinks and flannels *heart eyes*. also, this is the year i will FINALLY try a pumpkin spice latte. 

the office. just, the office. absolutely hilarious. 

how was your summer? 

 and are you excited for fall? 
I AM!!!!
