During my quietness lately, almost too much has occurred. First, I'd like to apologize on behalf of my stupid camera and its decision to never turn on again. Am I being dramatic, maybe a little but I'm actually really upset. While my life is getting quite crazy and busy, here I am trying to keep you guys updated and my camera just decides to die. I was in the middle of uploading pictures and it literally switched off; I've yet to see its lights appear again. And how inconvenient of it also, I mean a couple days before I went to Atlantic City and a week before I finally turn legal?! No remorse.
In any case, yes I went to the East Coasts' version of Vegas, Atlantic City, New Jersey. Why, you may ask? My eldest and only sister turned 21 that Saturday and what better way to bring it in? Fortunately, I have my phone's camera but unfortunately the quality is just simply not what I want. We had a lot of fun and caused a great deal of trouble. As I am writing this now, I am officially a changed woman. Why, you may ask once again? Well, today is my 18th birthday! I've had fabulous outfits all week that I haven't been able to properly document, hence my lack of posting, and this weekend is bound to be filled with craziness that I can only show with 5 megapixels! The frustration is entirely too much. Enjoy what I do have to offer though.

Has the first day of fall fallen upon us yet? Not so sure, but I think this is a very autumnal outfit. It's probably the hat. As I embark on this research paper, I shall take a pit-stop in the land of somber and not so nutritious energy ~I'm a riot right?

Gratefully, today wasn't as tragic as yesterday. I'm trying to think of the events of today and actually can't come up with much. I'm currently attempting to make this app for my IT class after returning from one of the dance teams I participate in. I'm getting busy but steady at the same time if that makes any sense. I believe Drake really got me through yesterday in once piece and uplifted my day today. Can't ask for more.

As I am currently typing, I'm blasting my baby's third studio album and enjoying every moment. This was the highlight of my day seeing as though I encountered my first collegiate midterm today ~don't you dare ask~ y'know, I really love Drake so incredibly much. I've forgiven him for all of his terrible mistakes, Started From The Bottom, that stupid meme, his lack of dance skills, all of it!
I'm about to go dance, but have y'all noticed every time I wear these earrings my hair's up and I look like a spanish girl with her baby hairs poppin'? No?...

Florence + The Machine's "Never Let Me Go" has been consistently stuck in my head all day. I am in deep love with that song, ha if that phrasing even made sense. In any case, today was filled with fatigue. It started off with me waking up late cause I was up studying last night for a quiz today that I would've received the same grade, studied for or not ~facking annoying~. This of course means all of the weeks I've used could've been transferred into studying for my lab of this class. If you have yet to realize, yes I'm speaking of Geology. My midterm is tomorrow and I am going to die. I'm not even remotely ready and I feel like I'm not alone.
This outfit popped into my head on a random occasion so I decided to sport it on the semi-cool day of today. Actually, I can just say cool because it was slightly nippy. I changed my shoes about twice and wish I had three times.

It's been a little crazy these past few days what with studying for ill-placed midterms and a new found social life, but I would like to believe I'm handling myself quite well. These are from last Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. Thursday was my official audition for the hip hop dance troupe on campus and guess who made it?! On Friday I had a great time in Chinatown, DC of course, with a friend as he celebrated his upcoming birthday. It was his first time in DC and we hit up gallery or whateva ~beytomce voice~ and watched The Butler. I suggest everybody, people of all races, go and see this amazing movie. Saturday I had a Black Student Alliance fundraiser I helped to assist. If you follow me on insta, @missusmonroe, you would've seen my evening festivities ;)
All in all, my week into weekend was pretty hectic. Hopefully it'll calm down, but I am doubting this.
