New York, New York

Start spreading the news...

I love living amongst the palm trees and lizards but I've got an Empire State of Mind and the next stop on this tragic train I call my life is NYC. My roommate turned best friend, Lauren, and I have made a pact (set in smoke so it's obviously v serious) to move to the big city by the time we turn 24, so just over a year from right now.

A move like this one isn't going to be easy and there's a lot we need to do in the time between now and then, but I think we can do it. We know we need to save money and we are both looking at part time jobs on the side to earn a little extra cash flow. And I made a fucking pin board about it so it's definitely going to happen..

Here's to big city dreams and my budget getting a little tighter...

I'm Lovin' It

So we did a thing. A thing where we left our apartment at 4:15 AM, drove to Daytona Beach, and watched the sunrise. I've never been good at living in the moment. I suck at it to tell you the truth. I'm always wondering how I am going to get to where I'm going next and wishing my life was just a little more together than it is. But every once in a while, I really, truly live in the present. I should do it more often because it makes me realize how wonderful life can be even when you're working towards something else.

So embrace that fast food and sand lining the bottom of your purse because you never know how long it will be there.

I've started blogs before. Three to be exact. I've got a lot to say but I'm not always sure how to go about it. In the past I've tried to squeeze my blog into a category in order to get more page views or make my life seem more glamorous than it really is.

The truth is I'm a twenty-something college graduate still just trying to figure out where my life is going. So here it is, my life without the filters: student loans, coffee, bad habits, funny stories, career searching, chipped nail polish, lots of giggles, and a little bit of pixie dust.

I'm not the best blogger and I freely admit that. Not all of my pictures are magazine worthy and I don't have the time to make pretty dinners and cute crafts every day. I wish I did, but I don't. I have time for coffee to-go and taking the last Cliff bar from the pantry. I say a prayer as I coast to the gas station on empty and cringe just thinking about my poor bank account. I spend most of the day talking to myself and end almost every day in a smoky car with my best friends.

My goal for this blog is to write about my life with no filter. If I don't make dinner for a week and live off the Dollar Menu, than that's what I'll write about. And maybe one day I'll have a nice savings account and full fridge, but until then, McDonalds serves breakfast until 11:00 AM and that's enough for now.
