Greetings fellow babes!
As you can already tell, I've dyed my hair, and now I feel like a mix between a grandmother and a winter queen. Originally I had changed my hair color for a play I was supposed to be in, but it got canceled... which is sad, yes, but at the same time it's one less thing to worry about. On the bright side, I conveniently have been wanting this hair color for a while, so it all works out for the best.
The only other new thing is that I have withdrawn from next semester of college. I did this for many reasons, but the biggest was due to not being happy here. I consider myself a smart cookie, but not in the academic realm. I have an extremely hard time studying, writing essays, etc, and I just need a break from it. Next semester I will be home with my family, and my plan goes something like this:
In a way this kind of turned into early New Years resolutions, but I really needed to make a list for myself. After next semester I'm not sure what I'm going to do- whether I go back to college or film school or whatever, but I'm trying my very hardest not to worry too much. The best thing I can do right now is take one step at a time. This semester was full of me worrying about the future, and made me forget to live in the moment of things. I don't know what's ahead of me. All I know is that I am going to make the best of every moment from here on out. (Luckily I have less than a full month of classes left, too!)
Anyways, on a lighter note: it's finally cooled off! The last week was surprisingly super cold, but as of now, the weather is beyond perfect. As I said in a recent post, I've been in a fashion rut lately, and due to this nice weather I can feel myself finally reaching the end of the yoga-pant-tunnel (she says as she types in sweatpants). When I get home I'm going to go through my entire closet and get rid of a lot of things, and start fresh. I'm beginning to think maybe I was stuck in a rut, because I've worn everything so many times... or maybe I find comfort in yoga pants? Overall, I think it's totally okay to take a break from fashion every now and then, but I promise I'm not going to make a habit of it!

Aw I'm sorry your first semester was full of worry but I'm glad that you didn't try and force it and make things more stressful for yourself. I hope everything goes well but most importantly that you look after yourself and are happy with what you do :)
ReplyDeleteI like your new hair by the way, it's kind of cool that it changes with the seasons.

Thank you so so much, Adele! Haha, changing my hair with the seasons was a total accident, but it really is kind of cool. :-)
DeleteYou look so cute!!

Thank you!
DeleteI always think it's really brave to admit to yourself when something isn't working out rather than forcing yourself to carry on and creating more stress. I ended up dropping out of uni which was a really hard decision, but I knew it was the right one at the time as I was miserable and it wasn't the right place for me (physically, mentally, everything). Now I'm in a better place with myself and actually thinking about going back somewhere else. I hope you're happy, where ever life leads you :)
ReplyDeleteI think so, too, Faye. Almost all semester I was terrified to admit it, but I am so relieved that I did. I'm so glad you were able to figure things out, as well! Thank you so much!! ♡♡♡
DeleteI had an awful time at University and I only wish I had the guts back then, like you, and just leave it all. Instead, I just spent 4 years of my life in total misery :D I think most people don't know what's ahead of them, and this is a good thing. Life surprises us ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love your style, this neon sweater is the bomb!
I'm so sorry you were miserable at Uni! Thanks you so much ♡
DeleteI'm sorry that your first semester wasn't as bomb awesome as you are! But I'm so glad you're making decisions that are good for you. You seem to have a super duper fun time planned and I'm extremely jealous. Uni is scary and I'm applying to art uni right now and ahhh I'm so unsure how to feel! But I guess just gotta test the waters, homie. You look cute af and I love your scarf, dude.
ReplyDeleteYou are a space queen with that eyeliner btw.
rock on.
