Pre-grad Summer Thoughts.

Summer is here!  The playlists are increasing and the beats per minute in all of the extremely hype music that will prepare us for our ongoing adventures is going up faster than car stereos will allow!

But there is still one thing; I would like to have access to my diploma. Since I do not have it now, on the night of my graduation (June 5th) I will extinguish the fire in my soul set by the raging sounds of the summer that I long for. I am ready to storm the mall and expand my summer wardrobe. In a few weeks, when I am no longer held back by the codes of The Academy and the chains of administrative eyes have been broken, I will shout for joy, gift cards in hand and I will run like mad straight for the shoppes. Although it may seem that clothes are minimal for the summer - which they are but hello, have you felt this humidity?- every piece counts. From the basic tees, the perfect cutoff or cuffed shorts, right down to your favorite tank the summer uniforms are here and I long to be restricted to their high fashion call! Down with the dress code, up with my sanity!

What If...College Edition.

What if all my clothes don't fit? Oh gosh, my clothes are NOT going to fit. My shoes? But what if my roommate steals? What if we end up living in a continuous awkward energy? I hate awkwardness, but I guess I can't help how someone else responds to me. I guess I can be "that girl" that's too forward, or too aggressively trying to make things not awkward. I mean I'm going to have to live with this person! What if there's no good lighting for when I do my makeup? If there's no room for a floor length mirror my life will be over, and I will shed a tear. I will be judged if I set up a well-lit desk mirror for sure. But who cares. Looking good at events where I will be doing my networking is imperative to me; basically the equivalent to making the Dean's List. But wait, I need a new case for my jewelry! Oh crap. This is going to being the hardest, most frustrating, best transition of my entire life. Yes, all eighteen years of it. But, here I go, I'm really going to do this. I'm going to go out there and make an impact; and it's gonna be a great one.
