crashing waves. spent $70 on gas and $13 on food. iced coffee. finding a random book store. playing chess. laughing at a book just on coffee cup lids. finding a piano and playing it. jamming to music for a total of 6+ hrs of driving. lots and lots of snacks (i.e cookies, 5 different kinds of chex mix, spicy chips, chocolate covered raisins, but also lots of stops because FOOD IS SO IMPORTANT.) about 5 million + 2 photos and videos. driving in the rain. in the fog. in the sunshine. in the clouds. in the dark. having better signal on the dunes than I do at home lololol. literally running down 3 miles of sand dune into total fog. nobody face-planted. "this is what heaven looks like." finding amazing rocks + me trying (and failing) to learn how to skip said rocks. having a picnic lunch on the sand dune. and then lugging everything back up it lolol. realizing the humidity had turned my hair into a complete curl/frizz thing. being so covered in sand. xx "first one to complain climbing back up the dune has to buy everyone ice cream" (nobody complained hahahaa) 6am wake up time to 1 am bedtime IT WAS A LONG DAY. and then the next day was editing the photos and sharing them with everyone. lolol.
I'm officially 19, people. o.o
p.s my first day of college is tomorrow. tips?

College tips-
Do not overwork yourself. I mean, do your best, but if you’re failing a class (I hope not) don’t be afraid to ask for tutoring or even drop the class. W’s are better than F’s on your transcript.
Try to make at least one or two friends. Trust me, not only can you ask them for help, they can ask you for help, and y’all will be able to figure things out together, plus y’all can remind each other things. (I kid you not, I accidentally adopted one classmate last semester, even told her to sleep).
Be polite to your professors. Not like you wouldn’t, but hey.
BE. YOUR. SELF.
Don’t forget to relax and have fun! You will do fantastic!
THANK YOU CHLOE!! (also i've missed you)
DeleteIT WASSSS
ahhhH!!! these are all such good tips!! I can already attest to the 2nd tip actually helped me! I'll tell more about it in my blogpost about my first day soon. BUT TRULY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT
thank you soooo much. You're fantastic

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! (19's a pretty cool number. :)) (I'm sure you'll rock it.)
Also, skipping rocks on the water is really hard. I can attest to that.
it was a very well spent day. I didn't feel too good by the time I got home long.. when I am extremely tired I kinda get blahhhh.
DeleteTHANK YOU SO MUCH (i'm gonna try)
lololol!! ISN'T IT? I'll conquer it sometime
Happy Birthday!!!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday girl!! I totally was going to comment on a post on your birthday, but then I forgot (figures). How's it feel to be 19? I'm turning 18 this year, which makes me an adult in Alberta...scary. That's a fun way to spend your birthday! Good luck at college!

Happy belated birthday, Julia! Sorry it's late...Lyd and I were sitting in a church in Oklahoma, and I whispered to her--"Ah, it's Julia's birthday!" So we did remember, just couldn't let you know. :S
