A month has passed and definitely has been an interesting one, so.much.has.happened. [some of these are blurry and I'm sorry, the lighting in the apartment wasn't cooperating with me]
FYF FEST
You damn well know I went and it was so fun!!! I got to see Blood Orange, DIIV, Tame Impala, Father John Misty, Alex G, lil bit of Mac Demarco, lil bit of Beach House, GRIMES (!!!), and others and man was it an experience. FYF was the weekend after I moved back to SF so it was a very chaotic week. I was trying to get used to my new schedule, but of course tortured myself with a flight back home, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!! I got to hang out with my sister and see fun bands!!! Blood Orange was SO GOOD, guys, SO GOOD. I fell in love with DIIV. I couldn't see ANYTHING during Mac Demarco. Tame Impala was obviously so cool???? GRIMES WAS SO CUTE. It was just great.
LOCAL NATIVES
I have found my second favorite ALL TIME bands. I've been listening to Local Natives ever since their first album, Gorilla Manor, came out, but recently they came out with their new album, Sunlit Youth, and it.is.SOGOOD. I want to cry. I saw them over the summer with my sister in LA, where they did an impromptu free show and it just made me feel nostalgic and reminded me of the love I have for them. So now, I've come to realize they are on the same spectrum as Vampire Weekend. SO, I got to see them last weekend here and they were SO AWESOME. Taylor Rice (lead) is my future husband and liiiikkkkeeee i'm in love with him. We were pretty far back so I couldn't quite see his face, but this man took out his man bun out and let his hair flow and CROWD SURFED and I just....this man. I am in LOVE with Local Natives and you should be too. (listen to Colombia, Coins, Fountain of Youth, Villiany, and their classics because obviously)

MOVING BACK
Yup, I'm back in SF!!! I now live with some of my good good friends and it has been so much fun. I moved in a week before school started and it was crazy, but in a good way. My mom cried, of course, but it was much better than the first time because I knew I was going to live with people I knew and I basically already knew my environment!! It's been good so far and I'm excited for the year!!
 |
| Here's a bit of my room. It's definitely still in construction and looks the same as my other wall, but I just love putting shit on my white white walls!!! |
 |
| I rarely get to use Clementine because all of us have a record player -_- but she's still cute and stuff. |
 |
| Someone become my pen pal so we can send each other cute stuff for our walls. |
 |
| I also didn't clean up my side because I felt that wasn't really me (lol) because I'm a pretty disorganized and just never do my bed. |
 |
| Also, I have so much clothes that i have to put some of it under my bed...smh. |
 |
| Here's my cute lil crystals, himalayan salt lamp, and incense. |
SCHOOL/WORK
So I'm back with studying and working with children and it's been awesome!!! School hasn't been too much stress, but the first two weeks were definitely filled with mad anxiety. I mean, c'mon why are ice breakers a thing?!?!?! And I have a professor that uses name tags?!?!?! WHAT!!!! BUT other than that, it's goin' good, I'm doing my shit to graduate fast and yeah!! Work has been just insanely fun. I work with a younger age group now and they are the SWEETEST kids ever I can't. Recent story: I was patting one of my kids' backs to sleep and he decided to stop me and instead put my hand on top of his and he was just holding my hand. HE WAS HOLDING MY HAND TO SLEEP. AAAHHHH!!!!!! I wanted to cry, it was so cute. Children are the best medicines to bad feelings.
speaking of FEELINGS
Y'know, I've had my days. It's been a month and a half since moving back in and moving obviously takes a toll on a person (+ I've been having family issues) so I'm not surprised I had a head malfunction, but everything is okay. And that's all that matters at the moment!!

It's been an emotional month, but it's good. It's good. I hope you all had a great end of summer and that school/whatever you're doing has been positive and fun!!! =^^=

omg I'm so jealous mannn, it must be so enriching to see so much live music wth! Yeah moving in must be really stressful, but I'm glad it's with people you know. And omg yes, sometimes children can just lift you out of your adult negativity because they're so sweet and innocent! I'm happy it's been gd, and I hope it only gets better! xo
sounds like your summer was amazing! I just clocked the laces on your Adidasssss! Love them! Those kids sound adorable. I tutored, not as young, but they really put things in perspective, and are so much smarter and more sensitive to what's going on than adults give them credit for, Glad that you're excited for the year to come, hope it's a great one! x
Dude, yeah!! i didn't even realize i had seen so many bands live. It's always such a great experience. Thanks so much, Zoe!!!
Thanks!!!! i had to re-vamp them a bit because they were looking so ugly/dirty hahahahah. I totally agree, kids are SOOO smart, but most people ignore it because they're so young!!! Thanks a lot, Aida! :-)
WOwza, your month sounds like it was super crazy but in a good way. I loovee what you've done to your wall, very personal nd creative. I'm glad the move was a success, you make me feel a lil' easier about the whole leaving home thing. I feel you on the emotional month, I don't think I've felt such an amalgamation of emotions in such a short space of time but I suppose its reminding me I'm still alive/human hahah.

(also, I was super excited to see you'd blogged-cringe)
Man, I guess that's true. It's hard to remind yourself that having emotions is good. Thanks, Katie!!! You're waaaayyyyyyy too sweet!!!!! :-)
Name Tags?!! Okay, that really is going a bit too far!
Aleeha xXx
