Going into the new year, I knew I wanted to start creating logs and diaries of who I am in the present moment. I printed out pictures with the idea of scrapbooking in mind, but I feel like it's just not me. I came across this youtube video of a girl who explained how she uses tumblr as a way to timestamp different things in her life, like her bedroom and what she carries in her purse. It didn't feel as overwhelming and frilly as the journaling and scrapbook content I would see on pinterest, so I thought this would be perfect for what I want do.

ITS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE MONTH YALL!!!! ughhh I have been waiting for a chance to yap about my month. I (finally) got a job at home depot and honestly I love it. The people are super nice and the contractors don't really care if you take a long time because this is their break. Olivia Rodrigo announced her new album (!!) and released the lead single. I'm honestly so obsessed with it! It kinda reminds me of "Don't Delete the Kisses" by Wolf Alice, which was weirdly enough one of my songs on repeat last month (#prophet). I can't wait to hear the new song she's debuting on SNL tonight. I am literally so done with school though. I've always been a person who genuinely loved school, but college is really just not my thing. I just want to get my degree and gtfo. I just have to get through finals and then I am free 🧘‍♀️

Something that has been on my mind recently is how much I've missed out on because I wouldn't allow myself to do it because I was scared. I missed out on seeing Boygenius and Clairo live because I already agreed to work late at a job I hated. I didn't go to a party I was invited to because my mom (understandably) wanted to meet the girl's mom before I went. I want to post videos about movies and pop culture but i'm so afraid that people will find it and think it's cringe.

But honestly, who the fuck is ACTUALLY judging what you do? So what if my manager was aggravated with me when I literally quit 6 months later? Who cares if people thought it was childish that my mom wanted to talk to the owner of the house I was going to? and what if people save and share my videos to laugh at? They're all losers with no life anyways.

I think we all need to start YOLOing our lives. Time is going to pass anyways, so you might as well do what you love. Do you want a job you know you're not qualified for? Apply for it. #YOLO. You want to dance but everyone else is just there to chill and take pics? go out on the floor and shake some ass. #YOLO. Nobody has ever become interesting by living life by whatever the internet deems "cool" for that season. Become free from the confines of your own mind.

What a year this month has been y'all... the first part of the month was super fun. I went back to mississippi (my happy place <3), went thrifting at the bins, and had some REALLY good food. The second part of the month was strictly business. I applied to so many jobs i lost count. but I got an interview at applebees so catch me serving looks and fajittas. my teacher wanted to put a zero for one of my essays for not giving her access to my doc when I literally gave it to her twice and it didn't work, so i was damn near about to drop the class. its been really stressful, but we WILL be up!!!

February was a very fun month for me! This year Valentines Day and Mardi Gras were 4 days apart, which was so fun as a girl who lives in NOLA and love pink. I went thrifting a lot and found some GEMS (literally found a vera bradley mod floral shoulder bag for $5 and a 16 piece rachel ray cookware set for $17 #blessedbythethriftgods). The highlight of the month for me though was my best friend's birthday weekend. Me and her went of a little solo adventure to BSL to go to our favorite cafe and then drove down to biloxi to go shooping (totally forgot how i thrifted a studded handbag, navy blue cable-knit zip-up, and found a spread of old Elvis books. what a life bro). Then later we went to dinner with her friends and the food was BOMB. I was also able to get her a ninja creami, which is something she has been wanting for literally 2 years. I'm so happy I was able to get that for her because she puts everyone else over herself and she also deserves to be spoiled. Anyways lets get on with the recap #yapoholic

This past month was, in full honesty, a bit dull. I felt like nothing was really happening. To be fair, I did spend half of the month either sick with the flu or taking care of someone with the flu. The highlight of the month was definitely starting in person college after spending my first semester online. I've always dreamed about getting the full college experience, and even though i won't really be able to have that, I'm so SO thankful I am able to commute!
