You know the feeling of rushing home right after you've checked your shipping confirmation and status 2349023483 times throughout the day, hoping that no one has stolen your package? The feeling of wanting to rip through all that packaging to finally coddle with what you rightfully paid for?

The silence on this blog is a little deafening, so I decided to make a super huge update post! This is what I look like when I'm rushing out the door. But these photos were taken yesterday. Okay, I'm going to bulletpoint because I'm going to be late for school:
 

1 - 4: My lazy outfit. Oh my gosh. Am I the only one that remembers these Jansport backpacks? I was rummaging through my closet and found this one from 8th grade. Too bad I look like a 12 year old when I'm supposed to be in college. 

5: Just some photos I wanted to share that capture what my reaction was when I was interviewing STARFUCKER/STRFKR on my crappy phone from the 8th grade/freshman year of high school. Seriously, it's a Sony Ericsson W200i or something. Circa 2007. UGH I NEED A NEW PHONE.

 6: Here's a quick v-log on the updates for Fluorescent Adolescent magazine! I got to do an on the phone interview with STARFUCKER/STRFKR.

the small object thumbprint notecard set

This adorable notecard set by Sarah Neuburger was one of the scores that I picked up on Black Friday from the sale section of Urban Outfitters (I picked up a dress for 9.99 and a cardigan from the men's section for 9.99 as well!). It was a spontaneous purchase, and I realize it was a really good investment. I got it for $9.99 when it usually retails for about $17.

But other than the financial bargain, I realized that since a lot of my friends went away to college, I've lost contact with some of them and sending handwritten letters are definitely the best thing anyone could ask for if they're away. So, I resolve to write more letters! In this day and age, where we communicate electronically and digitally, I feel that having handwritten letters and cards is definitely a welcomed surprise. It's more...personal, I guess. Does anyone else feel the same?

Hopefully I'll be able to afford some stamps. I never really know how many to put on an envelope, haha.

But they're so much fun. You get to use your thumb print and make little characters and, in hind sight, I should've bought a second one as well! I got so into the cuteness of the set that I made a stop motion! Hopefully it doesn't make you dizzy, haha.
