If There Is A Party At Your House, Go To The Library

I just saw that quote somewhere and fell in love with it :)

I survived. I am in college. I actually have adjusted to the dorm lifestyle a lot easier and better than I thought an only child like myself would. Now I am just in the process of meeting people and trying to find my niche in a group of friends again. While it can be exciting and fun, it can also be frustrating because I have no patience - building friendships takes time. But just like freshman year in high school all these worries and awkwardness will come to and end at some point (hopefully lol).

Anyways the homework and spending time in the library has already started, so this weeks playlist is devoted to libraries and all things book/story related , with described items to go with each :)

Vampire Weekend : Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

I'm not over summer yet - I still have a week unitl classes officially start. This video is hilariously fun. I love Vampire Weekend with their beach ready tunes and "my mom dressed me preppy look". This video fully captures the "essence" of VAMPIRE WEEKEND, and FINALLY takes advantage of their band name.

Peel The Freckles From Their Shoulders

1 week left of summer for me :( It's a bit sad because most all of my friends have already left for college. Sad goodbyes knowing we will not see each other for at least 3 months. This has probably been my favorite summer ever: graduating high school, going to Italy/France, having TONS of get together with my friends, having 3 whole months of summer, reading the twilight saga, and blogging of course. I am equally excited and nervous about the future.

This is my end of the summer post. These pictures are of a picnic (a la Swedish blogger girl style) my friends and i had in the beginning of the summer. Its nice to reminisce.

The Versailles of Venice

These are some postcards I got in Venice. They look like little prints, so instead of sending them to people, I decided to keep them all to myself hehe. I think they would look cool framed one day. I couldn't resist them because the characters all look like they walked off the set of Marie Antoinette :)
