Between the class I needed to take this summer being canceled 6 days before it was supposed to start and my car being hit while parked last night, the summer is off to a great start…

“Escape” – Enrique Iglesias

Five years ago today, I made my first post on this blog.

Here’s to five more years.

“Make This Go On Forever” – Snow Patrol

Once again the final weeks of a school year are here. The beginning of April is somehow always rejuvenating, a reawakening that reminds me things can be good.

Spring always reminds me of the opportunity for change, that something amazing can come from nothing. I get so optimistic and pumped every year, full of enthusiasm about all the things I’d like to achieve and who I want to become. Unfortunately summer usually causes that optimism to fade into lethargy and then apathy by winter.

One year from now I should be in the final weeks of my undergraduate education. Terrifying.

“Blue Skies” – Noah and the Whale

I’ve got to find a way to get over this seasonal depression and pessimism that accompanies winter. I just don’t understand how anyone could enjoy it. But after a weekend of sunshine, the whole world flips upside down.

I’m surprisingly okay with everything that is going on. Too okay even.

“Your Protector” – Fleet Foxes
