19 things i've learned in 2019

2019 has been a year. It has flown by and taken so much out of me…and it’s not even over yet. That being said, I’ve also learned a lot this year. I’ve learned a lot about myself, about other people, and about my surroundings and my future. I almost feel like a new person because of everything 2019 has taught me. I thought I’d share my list here, and maybe some of you have learned the same things or needed to hear some of what I’ve learned. Either way, here it goes!

grief.

When somebody dies, you get every person in your life telling you that. They say that over time, you’ll feel better. They also say things like “your dad loved you,” as if I didn’t already know that. I know that sometimes it is people’s initial reactions and they don’t know what else to say…but trust me. I don’t need some person that never came over during my dad’s illness to tell me that my dad loved me as if I doubted that.

film + tv recommendations: october

There is nothing I love like talking to others about film and giving them recommendations for things to watch. I wait anxiously for friends to reply after they’ve watched a film or tv show I love so that I can hear their responses and see if they thought the same thing as me. I love hashing out different opinions on the things we’ve watched, and I love discussing the technicalities of scenes. So, because of that, I decided to start doing monthly recommendations of film and television for you all to watch! I’ve included a short description on why I loved the film or show, and a little tidbit on what types of film and tv watchers would like it. The categories are broken up into films I saw in a theater, shows, and films you can stream, and then films from mine and Noah’s personal collection—these tend to be older films or ones that have been out for a while and I just love!

room makeover: senior year edition

With a new year of school comes a new home to live in. For senior year I decided to go a little more upscale—choosing to live with roommates in an apartment complex owned by our school. It’s a lot more space, and a much more grown-up feel than the last place I lived. However, it is also incredibly modern and gray. I had to find many different ways to liven it up, and I wanted to share it on here in case anybody needed a little inspiration.

picking up where i left off

In 2014 I decided to start a blog. It had been a year since I started studying fashion and I was convinced it was the next step in my career. At the time, my dad had also been fighting his battle with cancer and I thought that it was a good way to express myself. I was hoping that it could distract me from reality while simultaneously serving its purpose as a diary for my creativity.
