jesus or bennett?

hello week before finals...

I do not want to write this 15 page paper

I do not want to write this 15 page paper

I do not want to write this 15 page paper

I'd rather be sleeping

or watching a movie

or taking pictures

or snuggling

or even cleaning my room

anything but this

an education

bennett and i watched an education last night

which might just be my new favorite movie

carey mulligan was absolutely incredible

(as were the outfits she wore in every scene)

so if you haven't seen it yet

you definitely should soon.

hello 1997!

i came across this hilarious picture when i went home last night

and i just had to share it with you all.

i am in the blue night gown and ellen is in the pink one.

it is of new years, 1997

and we were rolling in the confetti we had just thrown

as the clock struck midnight

...and it looks like we might have had just a little too much apple juice?

my little sister had her senior prom last night

and she looked SO beautiful.
