A Typewriter's Advice







Oh my, it's been a while, hasn't it? I absolutely detest not actively posting and commenting, but school hoards every moment of mine. As soon as I get home I am obligated to hunker down with homework. I hardly ever have a free moment in which I can actually do things on the laptop that don't involve chemistry or civil wars. 

The fact that this is only my second post in the whole of November makes me feel terribly unsuccessful and not proud in the slightest. Not interacting with my internet friends makes me feel internet lonely... is that a thing? 

I wrote this piece regarding loneliness for a school assignment where we had to review a dictionary definition, but I feel like it fits perfectly with my blogging predicament. I feel so empty when I come onto my blog and look at how inactive I've been, which is odd because I am not lonely in real life. It only shows it's face when I come online. 

I tried to encourage myself in this piece, and even though I still am not 100% happy with my blog at the moment, I at least have some motivation to change it. Here's hoping I'll post more soon x


On a side note I did type this on my typewriter- that's why there are mistakes I crossed out! Typewriters are wondrous tools, but they are not the best for people who rely so heavily on spell-check!  :)

One Last Summer Hurrah






To begin, I would like to apologize for the severe lack of posts the past month or two. School has sucked me into it's monotonous trap and I haven't been able to break free. As I'm writing this I am actually supposed to be typing up 2 essays on Lord of the Flies, but honestly, which is more important? (Kidding, obviously.)

I've noticed that the damper school puts on my mood is blatantly reflected in my wardrobe. During the summer my outfits are bursting with color and pattern, but the last few months I have been resorting to greys, maroons and blacks. While the change of weather also impacts what I wear, I blame the most of it on school (mostly because I want another reason to hate it). The other day I pulled this pastel blue skirt out from the bottom of my wardrobe and strutted my way through the crunchy leaves; my own little form of rebellion against the conforming way of school and the dreariness of winter.

Skirt: Plato's Closet... originally Brandy Mel
Crop Top: Forever 21
Sweater: Target
Necklace: Forever 21

Flairwell!
